My deeper insight to this movie!

Rating: 10/10 (29 August 2010)

For anyone who was of this age (the age of the main characters in the movie) at that sad time in our history will find the movie to draw out many laden memories that were so strongly buried and embedded within use. Whether if the script writer intended it or not, I was very surprised to have found much of this decade (the 1960s) coming to the surface during the viewing of this movie. I found very emotional memories which lay hidden within me for all these years. Someone just a few weeks prior to this movie had asked me "what is the first word that comes to mind when you think about the 1960s." That word for me was "fear"! I cannot think of much good about the 1960s without having those thoughts over shadowed by things like: The Cuban Missile Crisis, The Assassination of JFK, The Vietnam War and its escalation by Johnson, The Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., the riots that took place in the streets during this time of civil rights uprising that turned into war in the streets with sniper fire, and the Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Plus it was a time we grew up wondering if any day the Soviet Union and America were going to go to nuclear war. It was a time when this country was torn apart with the birth of mistrust for those who governed us. There was a lot of burden and emotional impact on the young of this country as a whole. It was a time our souls were greatly traumatized and left with scars. Scars that left us with distrust in a nation we once thought was so great that it could do no wrong. Through our continued enlightenment we were beginning to see a nation that had seemed so God-like to many as now being corrupt and faulted. It was now a realization that we had people in power that had no conscience and were ready to use us as their sacrificial lambs of deception for their own personal power gains, control and greed.
The movie made me realize looking into the faces of the actors just how young we were at this time in history and to just how young every generation (being nothing more than children) are that are sent off to fight each new war. It is a time when we are just coming into adulthood and are looking forward to simple and wonderful things in life, like falling in love and wanting to continue to believe in what once our great nation told us to be true. This should be a beautiful time of transition in our lives where we are looking forward to all kinds of wonders. But instead, we are, like all wars, abruptly hit and shaken with a rude youth awakening and our innocent are then taken from us, an innocent that we cannot ever regain again within this time and reality. Why do we do this to one another? It is beyond my ability to accept that there are actually other fellow souls that has journey here with us, to this time and space to learn with us, who have fallen to a darker side and are willing to turn on us for their own short term stay here for a material gain of wealth and control which will be all gone in a short time anyways. We live in a world where most wars are started from false flag operations because the powers that be have something to gain from these wars other then what we are told they are for. I believe there are a very few elite group of people in the world who control all and they are the ones who use the young, without any conscience on their part, to sacrifice their lives as nothing more than mere pawns in their game to get what they want. We have been dumbed down by the ruling crème of crème elite ruling class that has misdirected us from further back in time then what we could image to ignorantly and blindly go and fight for false causes.
The movie is a musical that uses classic Beatles songs, sung by the characters, to convey its mood and feelings to emotionally impact your feelings into its storyline about this time in history and the love and fear of its generation. Each person will get a different reaction and meaning from this movie; rather being good or bad. The good side for me is this movie has done a beautiful job of choreographing the music with such strong emotions of the time, to the point of where your soul feels a vibrational connection through the music. With the feeling of what the writer is trying to convey, much of what is felt is read in-between the lines of the script and is left for you to fill-in your own history of emotions for this time period. While some will sit back and absorb the music and experience an occasional tear for the two young people who are in love, others, like me, will look deeper into a time of discontent and feel many emotions that are not exactly joyful. For better or worse, these feelings need to be brought to the surface, because we should never ignore our past, good or bad, but instead remember so we can continue to learn from our mistakes. Either way, I think most will get something different from the movie, but many will still come away with a memorable experience and feel a sense that they have gained something that has furthered their connection to their own reality. This movie will stand out as being above the so many over inflated bells and whistles popcorn type movies, which is a movie with a meaning and a message!
