A Hard Day's Night - Blog Posts

I must say, I have no idea why I decided this had to be done. ( Oh wait, I do. I haven't drawn it yet. )

I wonder if you could tell what movie this references. ( Hint: it's a band one, probably their best. Answer is in the tags.)

why is every beatles movie just a journey where ringo is being pursued by a strange man who seems untrustworthy (pauls grandfather, the cult leader, the scientists, old fred, jeremy, michael lindsay hogg)

an assortment of polish beatles-related posters i could find!

A Hard Day’s Night, Waldemar Swierzy (1965) / A Hard Day’s Night, Unknown, (1965, as it looks to be a poster used by polish movie theatres to dictate individual showtimes) / Help!, Eryk Lipinski (1967) / Yellow Submarine, Zygmunt Bobrowski (1970) / Unknown, Waldemar Swierzy (1978) / Yellow Submarine, Waldemar Swierzy (2009)

BONUS: VERY STRANGE poster from 1985 by Waldemar Swierzy. i wish i knew the context.

Fun Movie Facts: In this scene, George winks at a woman who Ringo had been interested in, subtly foreshadowing the fact that he is going to sleep with Ringo's wife.

John Lennon in every Beatles movies

Unfortunately, my grandma is the only person irl who shares my love of the Beatles, so we had a movie night and watched a Hard Day's Night and it was a blast! Here are some of my thoughts and comments on the film and some of my favorite parts/quotes (sorry if it's out of order):

• the opening is obviously iconic, I love how George and Ringo fall and almost get fucking trampled and we aren't even a minute in yet

• also the way John just laughs at them took me tf out, I love it

• "he's very c l e a n"

• Paul's grandfather was fucking helarious

• my grandma was singing all of the songs so loudly that I couldn't hear any of them 💀

• "Tell me, how did you find America?" "Turn left to Greenland"

• "What do you call that hairstyle you are wearing?" "Arthur"

• the entire part where George is mistaken for a teen model had me cackling

• "do not breathe on me, Adrian"

• "grotty" should be used more

• I love how the manager was basically just like a babysitter trying to take care of four out of control children

• I did not appreciate the Ringo's nose slander, his nose is beautiful

• Ringo's wack ass dancing was so amusing to me

• "Do I snore, John?" "Yeah, you're a window-rattler, son."

• John randomly oinking like a pig caught me off guard tbh

• Ringo being protective of his drums is literally me with my guitar

• "Put yer tongue away, it looks disgustin hangin out, all pink and naked."

• all of the songs were bangers, ofc

• all of the John in the bath scenes give me pure serotonin, I love his goofy ass

• me and my grandma sang a duet of And I Love Her when it came on and it was so fun and sweet

• I'm so sad that they didn't add "You Can't Do That" into the film since it's my favorite song on the album

• since I watched Nowhere Boy directly before this and almost cried, this line tore out my heart

• the scenes of Ringo with the kid were so random but also so wholesome

• the whole mistaken identity scene with John and the lady had me laughing and blushing, oh my God

• since my grandma is a George girl, she was simping hardcore during his song, it was so cute

• she literally yelled "I've got dibs on George!"

• my grandma also doesn't laugh when she thinks stuff is funny for some reason, so it was basically just me cackling in the otherwise silent living room the whole time

• she kept looking over to me throughout the film and finally said, "man, you're all over John the whole movie, huh?" 😭

• please, she can't talk, this women literally ran up to the TV and touched George's face 🤣

• okay, I know I'm going to sound delusional as fuck but just hear me out-

During this exact particular scene:

I swear to God, for a second I thought I could smell John through the screen. So, the whole room just smelled like nothing basically, but when the camera was on John straight ahead in this scene after he's talking to the lady in the hall, my senses just exploded basically. I suddenly smelled strong tobacco and cigarette smoke, along with a clean sweet smell and citrus. It's like when someone walks by you with a lot of cologne or something and you are hit by it? It was like that with the sudden angle change when it went to this shot of John. It was the weirdest shit. I know it sounds dramatic and like I'm making it up, but weirdly enough it's happened to both me and another family member a few times with other movies, but idk why lol. Then when John went up the stairs it faded away and didn't come back. No one smokes in their house either and there was no smell like any of that in the room before, so it was really weird but also oddly comforting. Anyways, I'm probably just going insaine.

So I ended up watching a Hard Days Night, Nowhere Boy (which I've already seen) and Backbeat all in the same day since I went full Beatles binge mode yesterday and it was amazing! Needless to say, John is rotting my brain, as he should. I'll post my thoughts on a Hard Day's Night in the next post!

So I bought A Hard Days Night yesterday, which I've never seen before and imma watch it later today, I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED!!!!
