Too little credit for the Beatles

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2019)

Just by seeing the trailer I think it's a nice movie to watch. Just like the majority of human population I like the Beatles: it's catchy, brilliant in its simplicity and they can lighten up your day. But, this movie suggests that it is just that and no more. A bundle of hits and tunes. Where in fact the Beatles are the foundation of modern pop music. Countless bands and singer - song writers have created music founded on or inspired by their music. Taking away the Beatles and the world of music of today would be unrecognizable. The Bee Gees, the Beach Boys, Heart. Even Kiss, Bruce Springsteen and Nirvana and The Foo Fighters. Just a few I mention here, but there are of course much more. You might argue the mentioning of 'fix you' from cold play, would it even been created in a world without the Beatles? Would we have known Ed Sheeran?
