Guitar in Movies

Six actors play characters based on Bob Dylan during different stages of his life.

...and one of them is Cate Blanchett - who absolutely nails every aspect of early Dylan's character, movement, speech, everything. Amazing performance.

OMG is I'm not there out yet? I thought they are still working on it!! Alan did you import it or is it out in video stores? I HAVE to see this!

Spot on Alan. Cate Blanchett really nails it!

I saw it on the big screen but it's dropped off circuit since. I'm not sure if that means you'll find it at the local video store though. So far I haven't found it for sale anywhere.

You guys know that Gibson Acoustic that Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays with in August Rush?

I want that guitar! With the pretty little stars on the frets! Lol ^_^

You and me both *wiping a tear from my eye* ... SJ-200

It was a Gibson Everly Brothers, probably early 1960s. Based on a J-200, but with star inlays, tortoiseshell pickguard and it came standard in black, which was quite unusual at the time.

I definitely prefer the SJ. Aaah for a spare R30000

Wow... *drools*

It's gorgeous!

It is! I was so entranced by the movie I didn't even notice that guitar was so good looking!

Anybody who's seen the move The Departed ( awesome movie imo) must love the song right in the last scene which is called Sweet Dreams by Roy Buchanan. Check the song out on YouTube!

"Swing" is a great European movie about a kid trying to learn "Gypsy" style guitar (Like Django Reinhardt).

Some amazing gypsy guitar playing - no miming in this one, they're all real musos!
