Pesty
Tele-Meister
I'm not sure if this movie got much of a wide reception. But last weekend, I saw this movie with a couple friends, and it positively blew my mind. I wasn't around in the Beetles era, but my dad used to play beetles music a lot when I was a kid, but being the rebelious kid, I rejected it as "old guy" music.
Wow was I wrong.
The storyline of the movie tells the history of that era, through the eyes of Jude, a guy from liverpool who jumps ship into America, and his girlfriend, who becomes an anti-war protester. The visuals are just amazing, and the renditions of the Beetle's songs are amazing. I know it may be heresy, but Joe Crocker singing Come together, and Martin Luther McCoy's rendition of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, (played on a double bound sunburst tele of course) are both in my mind better than the originals. I bought the soundtrack the next day, and I've been listening to it continually since.
If you even remotely like the beetles, find a way to see this movie, it's amazing.
