About The Film Help!
« on: January 18, 2009, 04:34:39 PM »
Alright my fellow Beatles fans, I came across this piece when I was doing some further study into the film Help! and wondered how true and accurate the things it says is?

For example, i thought it was during hard days night that lennons father turned up?!?!?

I was under the impression that part of the reason Lennon wrote the song Help! was because of his co star in the film - Eleanor Bron- who told him that he never wrote songs with words in it with more than one syllable, so Lennon threw in some multi syllable words into the song.

Was he having an affair with her? (probably likely, lol)

that is when lennon took himself the most serious i think....he did alot of self reflecting...in fact he was gonna quit after help because he was sure that was what he should do....right after that period i don't think he wasn't that cocky anymore...he always seemed so sure he was headed b4 that...you know what i mean?he had a few affairs...the worst thing to set off the self torrment..did i say start?i meant to help carry on his self torrmenting...i always thought the worst critic lennon had was himself...he became worse and worse as time went by...who know how many tunes he didn't write because he wouldn't...
