I loved it, but I don't know why yet

I can't wait till this movie comes out on DVD so I can watch it over and over...
The biggest surprise for me was that Cate Blanchett really was worth all the fuss. I mistakenly assumed that it was a case of "Cross-gender-roles-get-attention-and-awards". She was my pick for closest Dylan portrayal, followed by Bale. The biggest disappointment for me was Gere. He's good at what he's good at, but I was never able to look at the screen and not see Richard Gere.
The symbolism I caught was really great, but I'm afraid the movie as a whole might be too cryptic for viewers that aren't Dylan afficianados or who came of age in the sixties. Still, I have time to brush up on my Know-What at the library before the DVD comes out. Can't wait!
