It might at first seem obvious why filmmakers won’t leave the subject of Bob Dylan alone. Search “Dylan” and “movies,” and the list — from documentaries like “Don’t Look Back” (1967) to fictionalized treatments like “I’m Not There” (2007) — turns out to be surprisingly extensive.

Bob Dylan's The Very Best Of compilation is soaring on the charts after the success of A Complete Unknown, and it even gives the rocker a new top 10 hit.

The film’s title, “A Complete Unknown,” serves as a guide for how it approaches its subject material. Mangold’s script works to uphold the mythology of Dylan as an unknowable artist — who, from the beginning, was reluctant to be defined by others and by himself.

Bob Dylan goes from feeling stuck in the folk bubble to branching off into an experimental sound, becoming one of the pioneers of folk rock. The movie encapsulates the “experimental creative” and was made for those who want to put their artwork into a world that may not be ready for it.

The contest gave everyone involved an opportunity to unabashedly participate in what is trending in popular culture and share in the excitement together.
