It's all in the mind, you know


Hello my reader! Today the topic is free, so I’m going to talk about my favourite movie: Yellow Submarine (1968) by George Dunning. This movie was released in the middle of the psychedelic pop culture of the 1960s with the very special design by Heinz Edelmann and the incredible songs by The Beatles.




Basically, the plot of the movie consists in that The Beatles must save a place called Pepperland and to restore the order with music and love. The Beatles must “fight” with the Blue Meanies –they’re music-hating-, who come over the land under a surprise attack. The Blue Meanies make the inhabitants immobile like statues throwing big green apples upon them and take away the colours of Pepperland. A character called Old Fred is sent to seek help, for which he travels in the yellow submarine until to arrive to London. In London, he meets with The Beatles and the five characters travel back to Pepperland going across different seas: Sea of Time, Sea of Science, Sea of Monsters, Sea of Nothing –here, The Beatles meet a singular character called Jeremy-, Foothills of the Headlands and finally the Sea of Holes until to arrive to Pepperland. The Beatles must supplant to the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and to fight –in a particular way- with the Blue Meanies. If I continue telling this story, it’ll lose its magic. I invite you to watch this movie if you want to know what happen in detail and of course, to appreciate the special magic that it has (design and music specially)
  

If you want a motivation, this movie (animated musical film) is unique in its kind because all the ohter animated movies are similar, but Yellow Submarine is different. Briefly, this movie is highly recommended. The songs that appear are: Yellow Submarine, Eleanor Rigby, All Together Now, When I’m Sixty-Four, Only a Northern Song, Nowhere Man, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, All You Need Is Love, Hey Bulldog and other songs. If you want to watch this movie but you haven’t the movie, there’re pages in Internet that allow you to watch this movie online or download it.
