Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

D P Help! is the unloved Beatles movie. It's not as witty as A Hard Day's Night or as cute and dazzling as Yellow Submarine. Magical Mystery Tour has developed an IMHO unearned reputation as an "experimental" classic, and even the dour Let It Be is seen as a bracing look at the "real" Beatles. Help!, however, is ed as the movie where the Beatles got really stoned and didn't seem to care how the movie turned out. This is a rare occasion where the Beatles were wrong in their assessment of their own work. The plot, while a tad manic, isn't the disted mess people claim it is, but a fairly standard MAD magazine-style parody of James Bond movies in which our heroes are chased around various exotic locales. The musical numbers are full of the quick non sequitur cuts that would become the stock-and-trade of The Monkees the following year, while the action parodies would influence both Get Smart and Batman. The Beatles complained that they felt like extras in their own movie, but if so the ing cast carried the weight just fine. Leo McKern (who would soon play an equally bizarre antagonist in The Prisoner) is hilarious as the high priest of Kali (a character played seriously in Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom) and the gorgeous Eleanor Bron is charming as Ahme. Even better is Victor Spinetti, seen briefly in A Hard Day's Night and here given full reign as a mad scientist. It's a shame that the Beatles, all lovers of comedy, never made another dramatic feature, as they might have suggested working with the likes of Spike Milligan or even Monty Python.How are the Beatles themselves? Not bad, actually. The scenes where they were high out of their minds must have been relegated to the cutting room floor, because while slightly heavy-lidded they nonetheless deliver their lines with wit. What raises Help! above the other Beatle movies other than A Hard Day's Night, however, is the movie's visual style. Art director Ray Simms creates a mod look for the group's wonderful shared house, and cinematographer David Watkin makes sure the audience knows the movie is in COLOUR. The Beatles may have never *looked* better than they do in the recording session scene for "You're Going To Lose That Girl."(Note: the one aspect of the movie that has not aged well is the use of "brownface" for Indian characters. It's especially troubling considering George's later embrace of Indian spirituality. However, in both a very funny scene involving "experts" and the later scenes in the Bahamas the writers do get a few digs at colonial British prejudices. Still, these scenes may be troubling to modern audiences)

miss-so The British musical film HELP ! Is a good movie for the Beatles fans because there is a wide choice of music, however I have absolutely not understood the story of this film I found that she did not really make sense and I prefer movies with a concrete history because I find it more difficult to dive into the movie and to be interested by the film when the story is 'absurd' if can say it like that. I find even though the characters were well integrated in their role and that some age of the film was funny. I think this movie can be a enjoyable to looking with friends or family, but especially the ideal film to watch if you are a big fan of the Beatles!

eve-63311 Please leave your brain at home before you go to the movies if you're planning to watch "Help!". The plot, if it's worth saying there's one, is downright nonsense. It looks like the scriptwriter wrote random actions and places on a few pieces of paper and wrote the whole story according to the order he picked them out. Thereby, you'll enjoy watching the Beatles being chased from England to the Bahamas, ing by the Alps, by the fanatic of a mysterious and ridiculous sect, trying to rob Ringo's sacrificial ring. And yet, if until here the storyline doesn't seem to overwhelm logic, the end helps. Because even though logic was somehow maintained through the Fab Four's adventures, even if it swayed a lot, it collapses with the final scene, when every single character, probably guided by a drunk scriptwriter, meets at the beach and tries to obtain what one wants by stabbing whoever one sees. And whatever you may think after you read this, I liked it! Because it was really relaxing to see it. I had a good laugh, thanks to its fantastic British sense of humor. I see it as a feel-good movie.About the film itself, I'd say the image looks quite modern because its very colorful, that's another good thing, and the music is, of course, the work of talented artists, though I don't like the Beatles style of music (please don't murder me).As a conclusion, on a scale of 0 to 10, I give this movie a seven, because it's funny and relaxing, but it can't be considered a masterpiece. Go watch it with friends or with your family, have fun! But please don't watch it on a date, it'll be awkward.

lilolo-85030 « Help » is a British musical film, directed b Richard Lester in 1965, in featuring with the Beatles. The story is about a sect who lost a ring. This ring is very important to do a sacrifice, has been sent at Ringo Starr by a fan and during the totally film, this sect. Try to get it back. The movie has many scenes which see taking place happening all around the word (Buckingham Palace, in beach) and that is good. This is a comedy and a fiction movie, it's not based on a true story.. The plot is absolutely crazy but the story and the script are confusing. The music is sung by the Beatles and seven songs are into their 5th album who that title is Help. On a scale of the 0 to 10 , I give this film a 4 , because The Beatles are in it and it's a good point for the movie but the story is very confusing. Only Watch this film if you have some time to spare. But the Beatles fans night be happy because their actors' fame is very good.Elodie PEREZ, Lycée ALbert Camus, Nîmes, Pl1
