A real “just go with it” kind of film.Īs a committed Dylan fan, I bought Masked And Anonymous on DVD as soon as it was available.
STARRY NIGHT PRO PLUS 7 FULL CRACKED MOVIE
It’s also the kind of movie where Ed Harris dons blackface, Mickey Rourke plays the president, and Luke Wilson clubs a rock journalist to death with an old blues singer’s guitar.
STARRY NIGHT PRO PLUS 7 FULL CRACKED CRACK
It’s the kind of movie where Val Kilmer shows up as a character known only as Animal Wrangler, and rambles in Bob Dylan’s general direction for several minutes about how people are worth no more than a crack in the mud at the bottom of a sun-dried lake. But mainly it’s just straight-up bonkers, following a loose narrative thread that functions primarily as a vehicle for a lot of colorful actors to give scenery-chewing performances. It follows the rules of songwriting, not cinema, where surreal and nonlinear storytelling is more common, particularly in Bob Dylan songs. Not much about Masked And Anonymous makes literal sense. And he dresses like a cowboy from a 1930s western, even though the film (possibly?) takes place in the future or at least an alternative present circa 2003. Also: Jack Fate is in his early 60s, and his father appears to be around the same age. And that’s (possibly?) why he was jailed. And father and son were involved long ago with the same woman. Why was he in prison? Well, his father is the strongman-style dictator who runs what appears to be a post-apocalyptic version of America. In Masked And Anonymous, Dylan plays Jack Fate, a washed-up rocker who has been recently let out of prison so that he can perform at a benefit concert. For his first movie, Charles corralled an all-star cast headed up by John Goodman and Jeff Bridges - their first onscreen pairing since The Big Lebowskifive years prior - that also included Luke Wilson, Jessica Lange, Penelope Cruz, Angela Bassett, Val Kilmer, Mickey Rourke, Ed Harris, Bruce Dern, Christian Slater, Chris Penn, and Giovanni Ribisi.Īnd then there was the film’s mercurial leading man: Bob Dylan, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Charles under the pseudonyms Sergei Petrov (Dylan) and Rene Fontaine (Charles).
Released in a small handful of theaters the same weekend as Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life, the movie marked the directorial debut of Larry Charles, the behind-the-scenes right-hand man for Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David during the ’90s on Seinfeld who later achieved cinematic notoriety for his collaborations with Sacha Baron Cohen on the films Borat, Brüno, and The Dictator. Twenty years ago this month, one of the weirdest films ever to be distributed by a major studio in the 21st century came out.
