Nobody really knows who BobDlyan is. He’s not there to find.
He’s everybody and nobody. The entertainment field is strictly for marketing purposes, in some cases, but not all cases. I don’t know whether Bob sanctioned the violence in this film. It’s hard to figure that he doesn’t have much say in what gets promoted which has his name to it. I certainly would say that it’s most sad, if he doesn’t have a say in it.

as I get a very bad feeling that promoters think his music cannot stand on it’s own two legs but would have to have somebody promoting violent trash in order to draw attention to the music itself.
Is humanity so bored they have to revert to roman torture shows instead of focusing on what feeds the human soul in a constructive way?
Dylan’s music doesn’t need this video, it does stand on it’s own, but you have to think on his lyrics and choose whether you will see good or bad in it.
Dylan would say there is a dark side to life, so maybe he doesn’t care what his promoters promote, but if we, his audience do associate this violence with the man himself, it’s not going to help him in the long run, nor his sales.
and won’t do much for his love life either.
God bless him, I’m one who got a lot of inspiration from his tunes in a good way.

I love Bob Dylan, but when I think of his acting perfomances, the word that comes to mind is wooden

How is it misogynous, she gets the better of him.

Next you’ll be complaining about Dylan going electric or doing the Jesus thing. We’re sorry Bob’s not as PC as you’d like.

In my opinion the video is just CRAP, and Dylan should leave his record company just for allowing this rubbish. It is nasty, stupid, cheap, no related to the song… I think the dude made it for Marilyn Manson and he has it kept in a closet until something stupid enought wanted to buy it. Sad… Dylan has a son in the industry of video, could not give him a little of advice about this things?

I hope this is not just a marketing strategy… It would be so disgusting. I think this kind of explicit violence is more pornographic than sex scenes, and this is the kind of cheap scandalous video made just for been banned in tvs, so people talk about it. Sad, again, if the marketing department of Dylan’s label thinks they need a video like this to made the song more relevant, anyway…

Dylan acting in Things have changed is great
But he’s usually a terrible actor

the video is a piece of violent misogynous crap and I will not be surprised if sales plummet because of it

You are completelt wrong: Dylan has a ton of charisma and presence as an actor and many of his clips and stage performance are classics. And I love his turn in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.

And that’s a great song by the way.
