We watched the "Help!" Beatles movie in class, and I was confused to say the least. It was extremely hard to follow (for me anyway) but was funny when I was able to decipher the humor. My favorite part was when Paul shrunk down to a tiny little person and just sat in a bowl as the two mad scientists rampaged their home. It was pretty great. After we addressed the Beatles' fascination with India in class, it became apparent that this movie was made in the primal stages of their interest. The different locations and settings during the movie were varied and kept me attentive. Looking back, I probably would have enjoyed it a little more if someone was there to explain it all to me! Nevertheless I can understand how the movie was a huge influence on the people of that time period, considering the never-ending special effects and multiple changes in scenery.
I really liked this scene where everyone had to serenade the "man eating" tiger with Beethoven's 9th symphony (or something like that) in order to save Ringo's life.
I didn't really follow the skiing scene, but I thought it was funny when someone accidentally won a gold medal.
This website has a lot of cool stills from the movie!
