As an MV, as an installation art work, this is a work that is gorgeous enough to be psychedelic and high enough, and it will be very moving when it is put on the stage. The scenery, lighting and post-processing in the film are very delicate. But as a movie, judged, it is not the case. I don't understand why, even when standing behind the camera, Julie Taymour is still obsessed with musicals and the stage. There are too many well-designed mechanisms. It can be seen that there are many considerations for the limited space of the stage, which makes the limited space more. There are many levels, but, this is a movie, the screen is endless. In addition to playing with the space design, the script has passed.
What kind of story is this? The male protagonist is almost picked according to Paul McCartney's face, Jude, Lucy, Prudence, these names are deliberately uncomfortable; allusions to Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, but Just grab the surface. How you interpret The Beatles, how you reminisce about the 1960s, is totally understandable as personal experiences, but why play these word games so simply and literally? Until the end, the scene on the rooftop was supposed to be the finishing touch, all you need is love, from personal talk to the chorus, ruined everything, and even in the end Lucy ran up to the terrace of the opposite building, why let everything in the script be complete What happened to the audience's expectations? In fact, this is a very beautiful play. Lucy in the sky with diamonds... This version of Bono's cover is sung behind the scenes, but it feels boring to death.
What a boring way to interpret the beatles, or anyone's music, literally, mechanically, with images! The gorgeous exterior can't hide the paleness inside.
PS
Bono's cameo appearance in medicine fairy wearing blue octagonal glasses singing i'm the walrus is my favorite segment; the design of the strawberry series is very good and very pop, I also like the design of the psychedelic eatery and the circus; She's so The heavy dance is very good, and it is very worth putting on the stage; the guest stars are quite powerful, please don't miss every passerby haha.
