Altho this has little to do with Not Another Brick's ostensible focus on the ways in which American education might be transformed, a couple of us saw Todd Haynes' film contemplation on the many lives of Bob Dylan:
This near Fellini-esque montage of Dylan's life in which seven actors portray Dylan at different stages of his life mezmerized me with its blend of the iconic and the obscure. Maybe I'm making too much out of it yet Haynes' courage in taking on this subject and his willingness to experiment wowed me. And of course, there's the music. Dylan's older than me yet he's written much of my soundtrack. I wondered, tho, why not more "Blood on the Tracks?" I guess we all have our own favorites.
I wonder how kids might be challenged to represent their knowledge in such creative ways...
