I didn't like this movie when I first saw it, but after the third viewing I'm starting to get it. For one thing, it works as an explanation to Dylan's audience as to why he abandoned his "finger-pointing" political songs. And it has a lot of elevated-language aphoristic flourishes that work like great lines from Dylan songs. It also is pretty interesting as a prophecy of the outcome of our current illegal immigration situation--Mickey O'Rourke's character, who becomes President at the end of the film, points out to Dylan's character that when he first came to "this country, I was an illegal." This movie's pretty damn cool.
