Yeah, I watched it too...
and read all your reviews. Apparently, this pseudo-documentary-cum-film touched a lot of nerves...
There might have been a 'plot', didn't see one - don't know if one was actually intended. Some classic Dylan, an overblown John Goodman script, some cute, political, allegorical and metaphorical references to bad government, poor social conscience, and loosely-formatted relationships among people who have, primarily, their own agendas; nothing we don't already know about on the surface...Dylan plays the spectator ('course, that's what he's done best all his life - then musically comments on it better than most).
Here's the thing: it's TWO peoples' perspective on a 'slice' of life - appreciate it. Or don't. Dylan and Charles' (aka Fontain's) concept only confirms, sadly, what most of us know anyway...just in an unusual format, and in a venue we're only remotely - and uncomfortably - familiar with...chew on it a little. I did, and I appreciated it.
