Yellow Submarine and Let it Be

Two films, by the most influential and renowned rock stars, Yellow Submarine a hallucinogenic LSD trip, and Let it Be a documentary. Yellow Submarine takes you on a journey to a place where music has been banned and the towns people are still and blue. Let it Be takes you through an everyday rehearsal with the superstars.

In Let it Be even the most inattentive viewers can notice the tension between all the artists. Which is said to be the most likely reason for the split, creative differences. This brief documentarian film takes you through the creative process, by filming an everyday secession of the four practicing, then ending with the legendary rooftop concert. The ending truly is a gem to see as you listen to them play at their best, and view the smiling faces of the neighboring people, who have just realized The Beatles are playing outside, for their amusement.

Yellow Submarine is an animated, and very different styled type of film. Many possible drug references are said, some obvious and others only sly remarks. Having difficulty following can be common, because the film takes you one way, then goes a different direction, and continues to do so confusing several, but maybe not members of the mushroom kingdom.
