A Great tribute to the Beatles

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2008)

Before seeing this movie, I knew very little about it. I knew the soundtrack was comprised of only Beatles song, and that was about it. So I decided to give it a shot, and quickly fell in love with the creativity, and uniqueness this movie offered. For the first musical with an all Beatles soundtrack, this movie paid great justice to the band. The songs were not rearranged, or edited so much that the music becomes hard to recognize; rather each singer sung the song their own style, but kept the flow and rhythm the Beatles originally created.
The coolest part about this movie, was the way the plot developed around the songs. For example many of the characters names were taken straight out of the Beatles songs, and then in different situations songs would be used to express emotion, or want. It was one of the most creative movies i have ever seen, and the choreography made it phenomenal. Two scenes in particular were exception, the bowling alley seen has amazing choreography, and the Benefits of Mr. Kite song display the creatively of this film. Overall I quickly appreciated the film for its distinct artistic style, and it was very easy to see how much more artistic it is from other movies.
As well as being creative and artistic, the movie is driven by events happening during the era in which the Beatles lived(60s) with events such as the Vietnam war, race riots, and political problems. The movie seemed real in every event, and it was amazing to see what Beatles songs would the situation that was occurring.
This movie is a must see, the characters are great, the singing is great, and the overall creativity was amazing to watch. This movie is one that I wanted to go on for a couple more hours, and was sad to see it end. In the end, a great tribute to the Beatles, and a very intriguing movie.
