A
HARD DAY'S NIGHT 1963
It's the Beatles' first feature film, a sort of documentary combined
with music and comedy. The band have to use their ruse and wit to
avoid the pursuig fans and press to reach their television performance.
this is spite of Paul's troublemaking grandfather (played by Wilfred
Bramfell) and Ringo's arrest. The Director used a documentary style
of filming to capture the claustrophobia of beatlemania. Actually,
the story is a musical-fantasy version of the Beatles'relationship
to real-life fame at the time. We could see them as a spectacular
vision of youth and freedom. |
