Movies We Watch

A documentary on Cirque du Soleil putting together the Beatles Love performance. It took a long time. It was expensive. The surviving Beatles are much mellower about their music than are the widows of the Beatles we have lost.

Looks like it would be an interesting show. But being not near Vegas, not wealthy and just a Beatles appreciator, I don’t believe I will ever see it. This is as close as I get, and I am ok with that.

They shared some odd stories from the cast that seemed a bit out of place in this doc like the guy playing Sgt. Pepper talking about his dying father and having his father die before the show opened. Just seemed out of place. Or why they concentrated on the guy from South Africa that had never heard of the Beatles. It didn’t add to the film and seemed to actually slow down the progression of the rehersal footage for me.

An ok documentary. If you love the Beatles or Cirque you will most likely appreciate this.
