Quote from: 483

Queen is/was a magazine for the well off 'upper classes'. So it could be a reference to the class divide between them and someone who comes from a 'working class' background. Also Grandad had earlier mentioned 'sissies' and 'powdered gewgaws', meaning gay men. The word 'Queen' is a popular way to describe gay men in Briton.

Thank you, I think I get it right now. :)

AHDN is my all time favorite movie, Beatle one too.  I agree with the person starting this thread.  AHDN was the Beatles being "Beatles"...........

They actually used the transporter, PaulieBear. But since Star Trek had not been invented yet, Dick Lester was unable to show the transporter effect on screen.

My favorite part was, or one of them is when Paul is in the dressing room with everyone and he says
"...that this too too solid flesh would melt, ZAP"
I LOVE IT

I forgot that part of the movie, what did that mean? Sounds Shakespearean, was there some special relevance to the scene?

It's Shakespeare, from Hamlet:

O, that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew.

Thanks  :) I wonder if it was total Beatle's irrelevance, or if there was something in the movie scene that was connected to that Hamlet scene ... ?

Like was he drinking a Mountain Dew  ? ;)

AHDN is a great film in all respects! It is made with such good, perfect taste. It lacks nothing, but I wish the individual scenes with each of the Beatles hadn`t been excluded. As far as i remember some of the scenes were excluded to make the guys appear equal time. For example, Paul`s episode. And the film Help was shot in line with the then fashion of evil men running after good men. It seems a bit stupid now but has anybody said they claim it to be a philosophical piece of art? Its amusing and again in line with The Batman and the like films of those days. And appeals to children.
