Unfortunately, the world we see has nothing to do with the Beatles&#8217; real world.&#8221; He accurately notes that the &#8220;best moments are when they sing: &#8216;Help!&#8217;, &#8216;You&#8217;ve Got to Hide Your Love Away&#8217;, &#8216;I Need You&#8217;, and &#8216;You&#8217;re Gonna Lose That Girl'&#8221;; and he points out that &#8220;the staging of numbers, particularly those set outside, is effective&#8221; &#8212; with &#8220;the &#8216;Ticket to Ride&#8217; sequence&#8221;, showing &#8220;the boys frolicking in the snow&#8221;, particularly suited to making &#8220;a great video&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not nearly as taken with this follow-up film as Peary is; it&#8217;s clearly meant to build on the enormous cult success of <em>A Hard Day&#8217;s Night<\/em> but most of the magic is gone (despite &#8212; or perhaps <em>because<\/em> of &#8212; attempts to insert <em>literal<\/em> magic into the proceedings). The plot seems silly simply for the sake of silliness, and the boys&#8217; later admission to being stoned through most of the filming shows: they look loopy and slightly dazed rather than jubilant. The exception, as noted above, are their musical performances &#8212; I do love all the creativity put into filming &#8220;Ticket to Ride&#8221; in the snow, including the presence of musical notes on the screen at one point (apparently added to cover up power lines in the footage).
