76% Informative

A Complete Unknown, the new film chronicling Bob Dylan's early career, chronicles a clash between folk and Bob Dylan .

Peter Silber : The clash reflects a wider conflict between folk music and the rise of a new musical sound, more experimental, far less political, and more closely keyed to the angry emotions of young Americans .

Silber 's father, Irwin Silber , co-founded Sing Out! magazine in 1951 , along with his close colleague, Pete Seeger .

A Complete Unknown traces Bob Dylan ’s career in the early 1960s , culminating with his electrified performance at Newport .

The film has even less to say about Vietnam , making it hard to fully understand the substance behind the tensions of this moment.

In the Summer of 1965 , Vietnam was, for some, an issue to be avoided: it was a messy political question that might also be bad for business.
