The documentary we watched in class about The Beatles was a masterpiece. The reason I thought it was so great was because before we watched it, I didn't think much of The Beatles. I thought they had a couple of good songs and were okay. But only after watching the first ten minutes, I had fallen in love with them. Their personalities are so likable, not to mention that Paul McCartney is adorable. They are so funny, especially when they were on the train and George kept dressing up as different things, puffing smoke wherever he went. And when Paul was showing Ringo pictures that were drawn to look like Ringo, the nose was always huge, because lets face it, his nose is the size of the statue of liberty...A lot of people these days think they have to be inappropriate to be funny, and it was nice to see that The Beatles just goofed off and had a good time, not trying to impress everyone they passed.
This documentary also made me appreciate how talented they really were. The way they could blend their voices and create such a great harmony was incredible. Plus their songs are so catchy. When I first heard their first album, I didn't really like it. But now that I have heard it multiple times, I think the songs and sounds are brillant. No it isn't their best work, but for a first album, IT'S AMAZING! Now whenever I listen to any other music from around that same time period, it just doesn't compare. For instance, when we were listening to Smokey Robinson, even though I knew more of the songs, they still weren't as great (to me). And maybe that is just a phase. But for right now, The Beatles have stole my heart.
