The Beatles Help: The Song Of The Beatles

The Help tells the story of a young, white woman trying to write a novel to expose the reality that black women face in the south. Though the film highlights some important parts of the Civil Rights struggle, it downplays the extent of the issues. Though it perfectly portrays the terrorizing reign of whites over blacks, overall The Help is historically inaccurate by stereotyping characters, telling a good vibes only story, and making an unrealistic case to hit a target

This '65 Beatles album, with U.S. advanced sales of $1 million, was transitional, featuring film songs and other recordings, more introspective lyrics, and the influence of Dylan and Folk Rock. It is...

One of the most influential groups of the 20th Century—the Beatles revolutionized rock and roll into what we know it as today. Not only were they great musicians, they wrote and composed each of their songs. The band proved to be popular and exciting causing mass hysteria at each of their public performances. The “Fab Four’s” talent was so great that the phenomenon was termed “Beatlemania” in Britain and eventually erupted in the United States being called the British Invasion of the Beatles (Britannica Online, 2005).

The first passage I chose from the book that I think goes along with the theme of help was in part two when Norman went to pick up his brother from Jail. On his way back to Helena Norman went to pick up Paul from jail after he was arrested

There have been many people, known as artists, who have tried to change the world through their art. “Art” can be paintings, music, dances, sculptures, literature, or photography. There are many ways to communicate and express ones feelings but The Beatles did it through their popular music. Although they didn’t focus on changing the world of politics or try to protest through their music they have songs that focus on those exact two things.

The Help is an inspiring movie, centralized on themes of showing courage in the midst of adversity and racial desegregation. The selection of actors with specific attributes, lighting/camera angles, and music, allows the movie to entertain in detail, and highlight the prime issues of the 1960s. With the movie being directed with these specifities in mind, the author, Kathryn Stockett, is able to successfully relay her message in the screenplay.

Two feature films, A Hard Day’s Night (1964) and Help! (1965), followed. However, by the end of 1965, the influence of Bob Dylan and the accelerating popularity among pop musicians of marijuana made the international pop scene to advance from the straightforward energy and good humor of "beat music" towards a greater formal and emotional complexity. Aware that they needed to regenerate themselves stylistically, the Beatles toyed uncertainly with "comedy songs" and idiosyncratic variations on soul music in their transitional album Rubber Soul (Parlophone, 1965). Only in early 1966, with the appearance of

In the refrain there is direct repetition unlike some songs that have different lyrics in each refrain. There is also the repletion of “can’t take the noise” at the end of the song. All the repetition gives a sense of insistency and urgency. When listening

The song used metaphors, similes, and allusions to enhance the message: To live life to the fullest. “Young Homie” uses metaphors to convey the artist’s message. “let the music heal like an overture” to compare music to healing. This enhances the message by showing you that music helps you feel better. This connects to the overall message: to live life to the fullest because feeling good helps with living life to the fullest.

Also, The Beatles is the only singer band/singer active that I know of in 20th century(except Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, but I don’t like them much), so that’s another reason that I picked this song. This song was written and recorded in 1968. It was written by The Beatles, a singer group that consists of four people - John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison. But only Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are alive today.

The title of the book, The Help, is an example of metonymy. Stockett uses that title to refer to the black maids who work for the whites. This is particularly about the services they render to white households, which demonstrates the subordinate role of the black maids. They are valuable only for "the help" that they offer for the white women, but they are like slaves; they are inferior than others and they have no rights. This way of behaviour towards the black maids has led to their anger, frustration and rebellion.

The movie The Help by Tate Taylor on the importance of the 1960’s society. In Taylor’s work he often portrays the struggle and difficulties of black women. The pain and frustration that those women who were oppressed by the white society, are contributed in the movie. The Help, a movie about race and class relation in Jackson, Mississippi in the early 1960’s. Has profound the historical importance because the impact it had on Africa American women during that time period. The movie is noteworthy for its aesthetic scene in the film. Lastly it has moral significance because it portrays the racism going on during that time period.
