Couldn't Give it Lower

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2019)

I am a Beatles fan. I am not a Beatles movie fan. You know, not the one starring your favorite moptops, but the musical ones and the weird biographical ones. This was a surprising treat I did not expect.
This movie is a treat you could sit back and get fully engrossed in. Perhaps you need to be a Beatles fan, or just any person. But I really liked it for a British flick.
The movie is about a musician who gets hit by a bus, and suddenly the world has no knowledge of the Beatles. The musician uses this to game fame and fortune by using the Beatles songs as his own. He falls in love with his first manager along the way. And right when he is at the height of his short lived career, he tells the world the truth, going back to his normal life.
The movie doesn't sound all that appealing, but it was really fun. Less than halfway through, I checked the time left, and was surprised to see it was not even close to being done. Thinking I may have to turn my viewing into two different sessions, I continued watching. And I was still glued to the movie all the way through.
It's a funny, dramatic, emotional, and musically wonderful film. The lead character is a no one, who gets tossed into the top of the top. We also see how the entertainment industry works. And there's lot of fun characters.
I don't really know how else to describe it. It was really good.
Watch it if you want. Perhaps a boring day will brighten up with this one.
