Wonderful social commentary on the 1960's told through some of the greatest 'Beatles' songs

Rating: 8/10 (26 February 2008)

I was excited about this movie when I first saw the trailers for it. Both my parents are huge 'Beatles' fans so I grew up listening to them and I to am a big fan. I finally got to see this movie over the weekend and i have to say It's one of the best I have ever seen. The movie gives accurate portrayals of the '60s, peace activists, views on drugs and incorporates a band that's impact on the world is still strong today. The movie is fun and has a happy peaced out mood but also shows the heartbreaking realities of war without ruining the mood. The 'Beatle's' covers are amazing, All are well done (I recommend the soundtrack!). The drug trips are very magical and mesmerizing. This film an incredible trip that everyone can take. I highly, highly recommend this!
