Last night, after working with the boys and watch with them, Jonas . I went back home and as a good beatles fan I sat to watch Help!; and I could not stop seeing all the similarities between both of them.
First: Help! the second movie of the beatles is a comedy that show the band trying to scape from a cult. This cult try to kill Ringo after he recive a ring from a fan, this fan is the next victim of the cult. The movie was directed by Richard Lester, same director of the band first film A Hard Day's Night. Help! is a great family movie, funny and with grat music. This movie was inspire in the classic Duck Soup of the Marx Brothers and as a parody of the Bond films.
This movie show the fuuny side of the beatles with a endless number of memorable props and lines. When You see the beatles get down of their car and get into their house you can see the study , the musical instrument came down form the roof, Jonh's bed on the floor, they use crazy and nonsencicle costumes among a lot of other jokes. Between scenes Lester show us crazy stunts of the band, the band playing song of their album, and as the same time you can the band recording their album.
Think about it, tell this to any boy or girl between 9 and fourthteen years old with out saying the name of the band playing on the movie. Yes they gonna tell you they saw most of this things in Jonas and perhaps they gonna ask you where do you that other episode they missed. Without taking the merit to Jonas, I really think kids should knoww the original.
About Jonas, the tv show is pretty clean and and appropiated for the young audiances, the idea of bring back to life a band that can appeal to both young and olds is, I think amazing. If you never had take the time to sit and watch this tv show you had miss a great homage to the 60's humor and perhaps a good laugh. As the same as in Help! and A Hard Day's Night, Jonas is full with a crazy stunts, a little clips of the band being "silly" o "cute" a lot of music. I don't like the music of the Jonas Brothers but I have to accept that their tunes are snaapy, the style is cute, the boys are clean and funny. As I see Jonas is the last of one thousand of the influences of the beatles in the last 40 years.
