i loved i'm no there. i think it definitely helps that i love dylan and i think that helps with all the references.
as for the different actors playing the same character, it's true palindromes did it but lynch did it before that in 'lost highway' and i'm pretty sure others have done it before.
i don't mean to ramble but i just really loved this, it's the best movie i've seen in a year. but i think because it was labelled an 'arty' film a lot of people didn't see it. it's really accessible though, not pretentious and deliberately oblique or confusing. it's just a great biography because it doesn't try to be one. it's the anti 'walk the line' and anti- every other biopic that tries to be as close to reality as it can. he's not trying to tell the 'real' bob dylan story but instead went with 6 bob dylan characters made up of all the bits of rock legend, official biography, folklore, rumour, gossip, plus all the different phases of dylan, his writings, and a lot of haynes' own creation based on all this. and yes, cate blanchett is simply amazing and scarily brilliant in this.
