The film ‘ I’m not there’ in short could be said that it’s about the singer songwriter Bob Dylan. But I’m not there isn’t just about Bob Dylan’s life like a typical biopic but about different stages about his life. Throughout the film we see the different stages do things that would make the audience love them as well as hate them. For example when we see the stage of Bob Dylan’s life played by Heath Ledger, he does things that we, the audience, would love and hate. When we first see Heath, he is a charming actor and charms up to a French painter. He eventually marries the painter but as he becomes more famous, he is spending less time with her and begins having an affair. When we first see Heath is very nice but as we see more of him, we begin to dislike him. Even though Heath had done a terrible thing, he makes up for it a little bit by showing how much he really cares for his children. Another example of this is when we see the stage that is resembled by Billy the Kid. Everyone knows that Billy the Kid was a gun-slinging murderer, which would give the audience a reason to dislike him. But we see that when the town is going to be bought, Billy the Kid sticks up for what is right and starts a rally for preventing the buyout. Throughout the film we see the stages but each character in that stage does things that the audience would love and hate.
