On Tuesday, we watched Help, a movie with the Beatles. It was about Ringo getting a fan letter with a ring in it, after he put it on, horrid things start to happen. Soon a woman tells him that his ring is a sacred sacrificial ring, and who ever is wearing it must be covered in red paint then be killed. This apparently happens everyday. Ringo and the other Beatles do all they can to get the ring off, attracting others who want the ring for world domination or some other unrealistic thing.
I learned from the first Beatles movie we saw (Hard Day's Night was it?) that the Beatles humor is very hard to understand, and nothing will make sense if you don't think about it or don't pay attention.I personally think some things were very funny, but other's were just odd. The countless, odd, and unsuccessful attempts of the evil...dudes went very slow and got kind of annoying. Although things like the Beatles room and ability to not laugh at their jokes were pretty funny and cool.
Mr. A explained to us about how much the Beatles had gone through while they were making help, 5 albums and 2 movies in less than 2 and a half years? I never understood all the steps to creating an album, and it really confuses me why it takes artist so long. I guess it's because I haven't taken time to research all the steps; I mean I couldn't write 3 song lyrics if my life depended on it...Regardless of my confusion I still really respect artists, and the Beatles worked their butts off, which showed a lot of dedication to their music.
Thanks for reading :)
Have a great weekend!
