Fabulous movie

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2007)

I don't know who else besides Julie Taymor could have made such a great and inventive visualization of Beatle songs .... as hard as it is to do the movie lives up to the high standard of the music. I saw the Beatles in 1965 and their music was(is) religion to me, so I went to this movie looking for a nice evening of music, not expecting much, but was amazed at the creative way the songs were used, the great singing, and the theme's relevance to today. It made me wonder ..... where is the protest to the Iraq war that went on in the sixties to the Vietnam war ? The movie beautifully illustrates the brutal contrast between the consciousness that was awakening during those times (and continues to blossom) and the viciousness of the old paradigm and the powers that be and their childish ego games and horrific disregard for the sanctity of life. Highly recommended !
