I always thought they should do a Bowie biopic using that format

For each phase of his career have someone playing his persona from that period, so you’d have a Ziggy Stardust section, and Aladdin Sane section, a Thin White Duke section and so on.

I never saw the Dylan one either. I heard it was pretty good but it’s also one of those things where I hear people talk about the idea of the movie more than they talk about the movie itself.

This Chalamet one looks fine, but I’m surprised it apparently only goes up to 1965. I figured the obvious biopic format would have it end with the semi-mythical bike crash at the peak of fame and recovery out of the limelight. Maybe they’re saving that for the sequel.
