My iPods collects 128 Beatles songs.

They have cryptic lyrics, but mysteriously beautiful, bringing tears or smiles from the heart. You can’t talk when the music is still playing; and have long buried the moment in your heart when the song ended. When the movie scene starts, they all came back.

Maybe it is a clever musical strung together with Beatles? No, that’s possible only with ABBA. This is Julie Taymor’s interpretations. Nicely done.

She was giddy talking about Paul McCartney at the pre-screening. Oprah joined her like a teenage slumber party girl. “Wow,” I thought. “The power of Beatles.”


我的iPods里有128首批头四的歌.

这些歌的歌词晦涩但又特特迷人,常让人泪上心头或不由心暖一笑.歌放的时候不能讲,放完了就过了。于是那感觉就被深埋心中。电影中唱起来时,又被翻起。

可能编剧心巧的用批头四的歌穿成这音乐剧吗?我想不能,又不是ABBA。Julie Taymor的心血尽在此了。而且是一佳作。

Paul McCartney看预演时就挨着Julie Taymor坐。她说到那时可真是雀跃。Oprah居然也像小女孩到朋友家睡过夜一样的跳。
批头四,真魔力不减。
