I read the asbury-san's blog regarding Suze Rotolo.

The photo of young Dylan & her on Freewheelin' cover must be the most famous image of Beat generation, and also has have strong impact on people who love their way of life.
At the same time, I happened to have the news that Cameron Crowe's upcoming movie will be distributed by us next year.
In Cameron Crowe & Tom Cruise's Vanilla Sky(also starring Penelope Cruz & Cameron Diaz), they gave their hommage to the image.
Vanilla Sky is the remake of Open Your Eyes, great Spanish film. However, I'd like to recognize that Vanilla Sky includes their original message and affection to pop culture.
After reading asbury-san's blog, I'd like to know Suze's life after her departure from Dylan. That is partly because I have had a keen interest about his changes in his 70 years' lifetime.
His changes must be deeply related with every woman he loved.
As same as Dylan in 1960's, I have had the curiosity about Dylan's Christianity period, and it has been amplified in me since I watched Dylan this April.
In one of Lennon's last interviews, he mentioned his new song "Serve Yourself", which is the answer song to Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody" This is a very irony episode, but I feel their indirect interest with friendship(like "How Do You Sleep" to Paul).
("Serve Yourself" hasn't been released before John's death.)
I had a feeling that Suze's story would give me one of the clue to understand how we live our lives, and it would be great help to understand Dylan's works.

It is interesting that although the Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz picture is taken in the same way as the one of Bob Dylan and Suze Rotolo, the impressions I get from the two are really different. It must be because the atmospheres each person has are so different.
Actually Suze's life after she broke up with Bob Dylan is what I'm really curious about, too. Her own life just started in 1960s in many ways, so I want to know how she led her life after the era. But the book is only about 1960s...
But the book is interesting and beautifully written. I hope you'll enjoy it, too.
This scene suddenly appeared in the last part of the movie. I was so surprised at my first look.
As you probably know, the director Cameron Crowe used to be the youngest writer for Rolling Stone magazine. This movie mostly reflects his cultural background among his career. This is their second collaboration with Cruise.
Oh, though I forget the important fact, they picked up Secret Garden in Jerry Maguire!
I have to watch it again!
