Storyline:
The Beatles rush to the concert from Liverpool to London. Along the way, all sorts of funny scenes happen, songs are sung. All the songs were released a separate self-titled album.
Review:
Legendary Liverpool four rides on the regular tour. To escape from the crowds of fans, the vast majority of which young girls, Paul, Ringo, John and George have time to marvel at the train. The company they are a manager, assistant and ... Grandpa Paul. Grandpa is not a simple and easy going "old man", and adventurous and not sitting on the site of an old man. Having arrived, the boys have to give a concert for television, but the adventure is just beginning here - Granddaddy constantly strives to get to the next adventure, the manager can not raise children who constantly go somewhere and then disappears Ringo, who will be ... in a police station. In short day is not easy, and it's only the beginning.
Now shoot a music film with a well-known musical group or performer has become a matter of course, but the quality of the product does not always live up to satisfactory. In the best case, a large and long-running video. But often overlook opuses like the ones where he plays Mariah Carey, Britney Spears and of "famous" - "Spice World," which many critics has been named the worst movie musical of all time. The trouble singing these fellows is that they are trying to do what they obviously can not - play great actors. And it should not. The best example - the first musical film "The Beatles" - "A Hard Day's Night" - guys do not play, and just sing, play the fool, joke, behave naturally shorter, even without trying to play. So this film and we've got such wonderful. And of course the great hits that are time tested and that can be listened to.
I cannot give a mark for it is not a proper review.
ОтветитьУдалитьIt looks like an impression.
SLIPS:
To escape from the crowds of fans, the vast majority of which ARE young girls, Paul, Ringo, John and George have time to marvel at the train. THE MEANING IS NOT CLEAR.
The company INCLUDES a manager, AN assistant and ... Grandpa Paul.
Grandpa is not a simple and easy going "old man", HE IS AN adventurous MAN not sitting on the site of an old man.
... the manager can not raise children (?) who constantly go somewhere and then RINGO disappears TO BE FOUND LATER in a police station.
In short, THE day is not easy, and it's only the beginning.
ETC
THE REVIEW NEEDS NO RETELLING - A 2-3-SENTENCE SYNOPSIS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH!
