but here comes the classic biopic problem. that’s all it does. birth of the beatles makes the same sad mistake so many other music biopics would in its wake: it assumes that, no matter how boring or poorly plotted or characterized the movie is, people are going to care about it because it’s the beatles! !! birth of the beatles forgets that it’s supposed to be a movie - y' know, with interesting characters we can connect with and a plot that we care about. we are given no other reason to care about these characters, other than whoa, we’re witnessing the birth of the beatles! it hurts. it hurts because it’s dull. and a beatles movie shouldn’t be dull !
to conclude, the birth of the beatles is a biopic which is surprisingly accurate, full of energy and the feel - good factor, especially during the song sequences. it has the strongest portrayal of the beatles as a whole with ringo taking an active part, as well as key beatles figures such as george martin and brian epstein. it does, though, frequently feel rushed, and an audience unaware of the beatles story may well feel out of place in certain sequences .

curiously, several beatles songs are heard during the film, although performed not by the group themselves, but by the beatles tribute band group rain – eddie lineberry, chuck coffey, bill connearney, and steve wight 2. this greatly increases the atmosphere, making it seem more realistic. other biopics, due to the restricted nature of getting rights to use beatles songs, have avoided using john, paul and george' s compositions. the recent film nowhere boy only uses one chord from a beatles song during its entire film – the opening chord of a hard day' s night – although the rights to use the john lennon song' mother' were personally granted by yoko ono. birth of the beatles is the film which has used the most beatles' music most widely and realistically in its portrayal of the group. the unauthorised use of beatles songs, none of which are acknowledged in the film' s closing credits, is one of the reasons that has prevented the film' s release on dvd or blu - ray .
birth of the beatles was merely the first in a line of many, many movies made about the beatles’ early years. i am not kidding when i say there are maybe 4 or 5 more movies that cover similar territory. i’ve never seen any of them, and i’m going to watch them all. here’s what i want to see: i want to see some cool exciting rock' n roll. i want to see scenes where john and paul actually interact and seem like creative partners. i want to get a feel for who these people are, or at least who the filmmaker thinks they are. i want a perspective, a voice, a vision. even if it’s stupid! i want it! that’s what defines a good biopic. birth of the beatles doesn’t have it. let’s move along .

pete best. pete best himself served as technical advisor to birth, giving the movie the unusual problem of simultaneously lionizing him and treating him like a nonentity. on the one hand, pete is shown as an excellent drummer in several scenes (including a completely gross one where ringo starr watches pete playing onstage with what can only be described as drooling admiration), and his sacking comes completely out of nowhere. the other guys just decide all of the sudden that they don’t like him and want him out, with no buildup and no explanation. it’s a scene so confusing that even brian epstein doesn’t get it, and - in one of birth ’s most gratuitous fudgeries of actual events - says that emi liked pete’s drumming. it’s also not - so - subtly implied that the other beatles wanted pete out' cause of all the lady attention he was getting .
the film emphasises the liverpool roots of the beatles and their music more than any other film. the film shows that there was a' mersey beat' sound and suggests that the beatles were one of many strong acts from the region. rory storm and the hurricanes accompany the beatles as friendly rivals through much of the early stages of the film, with gerry and the pacemakers, and their hit with the song' how do you do it' that the beatles rejected, also mentioned. there are also several scenes in the cavern and casbah clubs, and brian epstein' s nems music shop is also shown. all this emphasises liverpool' s role in creating the beatles, suggesting that the city was at least equal if not more important an area for the development of the beatles' music than hamburg .
i did. i did, and i was saddened. that so - called best friendship between john and stu? we barely see it. we barely see any of it. stu saying the beatles’ music was “ahead of its time”? we don’t see it. the scene i described above becomes even more bizarre in context, because aren’t many other scenes in the movie like it. it’s a strange outburst of emotion in the middle of a rudimentary, emotionless movie. as much as i had hoped, birth of the beatles doesn’t even have the gumption to be a silly over - the - top dumb biopic. it’s content to be forgotten .

that sounds momentous, yet “birth of the dragon” is a strange film: it huffs and puffs about what a mythic fight this was, yet it bumbles and stumbles when it comes to showing us what happened, and why it mattered. the director, george nolfi (a co - screenwriter of “the bourne ultimatum” and “ocean’s twelve”), treats lee as a coolly stylized character, a kind of laidback elvis - in - chinatown version of the invincible warrior he played on tv and in the movies. but, of course, bruce lee wasn’t that character — he was actually a real person! — and “birth of the dragon, ” which merges a fudged version of the facts with lazy whirling iconography, is neither a compelling biographical drama nor an exciting martial - arts bash. it slips right between the cracks of what a good bruce lee biopic should be .

overall the attention to detail of what the beatles did in the early stages of their career is tremendous. it is true that an old lady who was perfectly happy with the indra club being a strip club later complained about the noise from the beatles' performances, which resulted in the indra club closing and the beatles moving to the posher kaiserkeller club. it is also true that the beatles competed with rory storm and the hurricanes to see who could break the stage at the kaiserkeller. however, in real life it collapsed when rory storm was performing on it, and not, as is portrayed in the film, when the beatles were, although the scene captures the spirit of the moment .

that offer is not bloody likely, but in the 17 years since ringo starr replaced him in the group that revolutionized pop music, best’s closest contact with beatles fame and fortune comes this week. he was the authority consulted for abc’s two - hour movie birth of the beatles, which traces the group in the pre - hysterical years before 1964. “i knew about the instruments, the clothes, the way they moved onstage, the crowd reaction, ” says best, who now earns $ 15, 000 annually as deputy manager of a liverpool unemployment office. “it’s not ‘the pete best story, ’ ” he adds. “it doesn’t take anyone’s side. ” indeed, the $ 140 million suit that the beatles’ apple corps ltd. has filed against the film argues the matter of rights and royalties—not accuracy .
there is no lack of theories as to why the states embraced the beatles with such zeal. a popular one holds that the country, in the aftershock of president john f. kennedy’s assassination, transferred to the beatles all the youthful idealism that had begun cresting under jfk. it’s also plausible that the beatles stood so far above the musical status quo of the early sixties that they gave kids the first credible excuse for mania since presley. finally, of course, the beatles’ campaign was a shrewdly plotted one, involving considerable promotional money and a lot of advance work by managers, press agents and their record company .

i agree with much that you say including about the beatles. my question for you: what do you think happened to the pre - 67 beatles, the real beatles. in 1967 clearly, those were different men pretending to be the beatles. important to note that most theories are just that, theories; however, i do believe what you have written based on other research i have done .
but still: the boys performing “i saw her standing there” on their first night in hamburg? not to mention george singing his first ever song “don’t bother me” shortly after, which he wrote like 3 years later? and - this one was so prominent that it felt like a joke - teens at a record store asking for copies of the beatles’ “my bonnie” single, a single that was sang by and credited to tony sheridan with the beatles only playing backup? yeah. i don’t want to nitpick, but the beatles’ story was the most scrutinized in all of popular music, even by 1979. the music is the most important part of their story, and the fact that birth even gets that wrong is pretty disheartening. did anybody care about this thing ?

curiously for a film with a pete best bias, the important role played by his mother, mona best, in the early days of the beatles is ignored. mona owned the casbah coffee club, one of the beatles' earliest regular venues. when allan williams acted as the beatles' booking agent in their early liverpool days, it was mona who kept the bookings. indeed, some believe that one of the reasons pete best was forced out of the beatles was to stop his mother from interfering and trying to run the group. that the beatles' road manager neil aspinall made mona pregnant in 1961 – their son, roag, was born shortly before pete best left the group – certainly did not help matters either .

the beatles’ dominion was carried to new heights by the july release of their first movie, a hard day’s night — the village voice called it “the citizen kane of jukebox musicals” — and the august kickoff of their first american tour. the merchandising of the beatles, whose names and likenesses adorned everything from lunch boxes to inflatable dolls, accounted for an estimated $ 50 million in retail business in 1964 alone. the beatles had become britain’s leading cultural export, and the trail they blazed to the colonies quickly became a well - trampled one .

the beatles continued to reign supreme in the second half of the sixties, although the british invasion, in the sense the term is commonly understood, had pretty much run its course by 1967. it was still the beatles everyone tried to emulate or top, though the music, the audience and the rules of the game had changed markedly. the simmering down of beatlemania after 1965 reflected the group’s loss of appetite for celebrity more than any waning of interest on the part of the public. with the release of rubber soul (december 1965) and revolver (august 1966) and their decision to stop touring (they performed their last concert in san francisco on august 29th, 1966), the beatles moved into another phase. they were turning inward, and their music was greeted not with screams but with a more mature appreciation of the new places the beatles were taking their audience .

on the other hand… well, it’s the same problem as the rest of birth: we barely ever see pete best. ever. we see him audition for the group early in the movie, and we see him hanging around with the other guys here and there, and then - after maybe, i dunno, 30 minutes of not seeing him - he gets sacked, and we’re supposed to be sad about it. we aren’t, because we barely remember who he is. pete comes across as some doof the beatles hired to be their drummer for a couple of years, but then ringo replaced him and who cares ?
june 12 beatles begin australian tour at adelaide. during this tour, an adelaide crowd of 300, 000 lines up along the motorcade route and watches the band drive by. on june 14, ringo would reunite with the beatles in melbourne after recovering temporarily from tonsillitis .
rhythmically, ringo helped transform the beatles into modern - day legends. in fact, the smithereens' dennis diken praises ringo' s
style
or
feel
as the essence of what made the beatles great. this is due, in part, to ringo' s steady drumsticks. he was never offbeat. the band only had to stop recording sessions because of a mistake ringo made a handful of times. a steady rhythm is the heartbeat of any piece of music, and without a competent drummer, the beatles' tracks would have unraveled .
neil aspinall (head of apple records) :
this is a very sad day for apple and for all beatles fans worldwide .
his claim is backed up by dr. yury pelyushonok, a canadian based doctor of soviet studies in medicine and author of
strings for a beatle bass
who grew up in the former ussr in the 1960s :
the beatles had this tremendous impact on soviet kids. the soviet authorities thought of the beatles as a secret cold war weapon ,
he said .
in an article from launch. com, they report that :
the negotiation process has been slow moving due to the complexity of the beatles' business affairs. others involved in the talks include yoko ono, on john lennon' s behalf, and michael jackson, who co - owns many of the copyrights to the beatles' songs .
book your tour online now and enjoy the unique experience of a visit to the childhood homes of john lennon and sir paul mccartney. this is your only opportunity to see inside the places where the beatles met, composed and rehearsed many of their earliest songs .
two years after help! , the beatles would push the boundaries of male attire and masculine possibilities still further, frolicking in the psychedelic foliage of magical mystery tour. but the initial thrust of change is nowhere better depicted than in help! , a film that encouraged nothing less than the re - imagination of the englishman .
tony barrow (beatles press officer from 1962 - 68) :
george was certainly the friendliest beatle from the very beginning .
sutcliffe did not last long. during the beatles' 1960 hamburg stint (they returned in 1961 and 1962), he fell in love with astrid kirchherr, a young german photographer whose portraits of the early beatles are now classics. when the beatles returned to liverpool, sutcliffe remained with astrid and resumed his art studies. he died of a brain hemorrhage at 21, on april 10, 1962, just a few months before the first rumblings of beatlemania .
david munns of emi recorded music said :
we are really pleased to be releasing' the beatles anthology,' which tells the story of their lives and careers in the medium of dvd. this was always a great series and the special features disc will be a huge addition to the collection of any music lover and beatles fan - - it provides an intimate and fascinating chapter to the story that continues to captivate the world .
rohan silva: incredible research. another example of that is the incredible insight you have that the beatles doing a cover of please mr. postman was responsible for the first time the british public had ever heard a motown record .
it can be said that the beatles created a musical genre that has thus far remained unmatched and unsurpassed. their compositions have become
timeless
for music aficionados, or, as derek taylor once pined that the beatles
were the twentieth century' s greatest romance .
if, for example, the recent sales figures of beatles
1
is any indication, that beatles romance which derek described has now carried on into the twenty - first century .

wrote the daily post on october 9 of this year .
crucially there has been a huge surge in the number of teenagers and young adults who have bought it. prior to the release 18 percent of beatles buyers were 24 or under. but for beatles 1 the number soared to 32 percent. those aged 40 and upwards remained the same at just under 40 percent. but for beatles 1 the number soared to 32. 7 percent .
the daily post also reported that beatles

has sold more than 25 millions copies around the world. with enormous success of

, it is anticipated that
let it be... naked
should scale to the top of the music charts around the world and become another million - seller for the beatles !
after a lengthy illness, bob wooler, the man who introduced the beatles nearly 400 times between 1961 and 1963 in the cavern club, passes away at the age of 76 in the royal liverpool hospital .
that’s a weird angle to take, isn’t it? i know that john was the leader of the group in the early days, but paul was his creative equal from day one. the creative and personal rivalry between john and paul is probably the most compelling aspect of the beatles’ entire story, let alone the early days. i don’t think that’s an exaggeration! it’s that john / paul tension that not only made the beatles were great in their prime, but also splintered them apart. man, people love the lennon / mccartney rivalry so fucking much they’ll sit down and listen to an hour of coked - up superstars jamming just ‘cause it was the last recorded instance of john and paul playing together. it’s a classic rivalry just begging to be mythologized, and it’s probably the main reason someone would watch birth of the beatles. and they do nothing with it. at all. it’s baffling. instead, it tries to further the silly (but, sadly, still popular) belief that john was the only important member of the group, and the rest were prattle .
4 in the' free as a bird' music video it is children wearing pig masks skipping down the alley, not the beatles themselves .
hooray! here’s the first review for my new biopic blog the wrong kid died, covering the first beatles biopic ever made... .

june 4 brian epstein and beatles officially sign record deal with parlophone / e. m. i .
george martin, beatles record producer :
those of us who were lucky enough to be present at a live beatle concert - be it in liverpool, london, new york, washington, los angeles, tokyo, sydney or wherever - will know how amazing, how unique those performances were. it was just not the voice of the beatles; it was expression of the young people of the world .

tour fact: larry kane, author of
ticket to ride
and who was one of the reporters designated to accompany the beatles during these tour dates, states in his book that when the beatles landed in houston texas by plane, the fans managed to swarm the tarmac while the propellers on the plane were still running. this was a dangerous scene not only for the fans but also for the beatles. not only did they swarm the tarmac but when the engines of the planes were finally turned off, some of the older fans managed to climb onto the wings of the plane with lit cigarettes in their hands waving to the entourage inside. fortunately for all concerned, the situation did not end in a tragic explosion !
pete best' s group the black jacks split in 1960. he joined the beatles on 12 august 1960, the day before their first trip to hamburg, at the invitation of paul mccartney .
“ the rolling stones were mastered by a order of malta member by the name of prince rupert loewenstein who sponsored the ‘ sympathy for the devil ‘ track back in 1968. this prince was also a member of the very powerful sacred military constantinian order of st george which is close in power to the equestrian order of the holy sepulchre of jerusalem, both being higher than the order of malta. (the order of malta, smom, is the military arm of the vatican here )
