How the "Baby Boom" went bust . . .

Rating: 6/10 (3 June 2014)

. . . is much easier to understand when you watch A HARD DAY'S NIGHT (1964). Everyone knows that the Baby Boom population explosion ended in 1964, the same year the Beatles boys' band spearheaded the so-called "British Invasion." This was no coincidence, as you'll see if you watch A HARD DAY'S NIGHT. Every female pictured in this flick of child-bearing age--and there are thousands of them--is caught up in a frenzy of teary, screaming, energy-sapping mass hysteria. Their male peers are nowhere to be seen. At this time, self-styled demographers were freaking out about a "population explosion," and the most explosive figure in the movies was the shadowy British intelligence operative James Bond. When you see A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, it becomes obvious that the "British Invasion" was a real-life Bond-like CIA\MI6 plot to curb the further arrival of "excess" American babies. In Colonial America Paul Revere may have warned us "The British are coming, the British are coming!" but this was something the flower of American youth no longer could do regularly once the Beatles came. A HARD DAY'S NIGHT resulted in a Lost Generation, which is why America is so badly out-numbered by Asians in today's world.
