They always make Lennon with almost black hair, he was the blonde Beatle, obviously he wasn't light blonde, but he had dark and reddish blonde hair, copper color.

[@PC4USE1]

I'm 68 and had a very similar color back in the day. Dad was a red head.

[@bananajr9915]

Yeah Paul was the one with almost black hair

[@warrenduff1611]

Also their Lennon looks half a foot smaller.

[@PiotrSiedlecki-qv2cd]

Sometimes he had black hair and sometimes he was a walrus. Do walruses have black hair? Its only a northern song.

[@makofett7404]

Yep!

[@MrJunk78]

Had no idea this movie existed. Thanks for making this. Will definitely be looking for it now.

[@dimitreze]

it's a good movie! it lacks a bigger budget but it tells the story well of Brian

[@mcarp555]

It just came out this year.

[@Pwerdna]

Its a decent movie, just don't go in expecting a huge Beatles presence (or even good Beatles actors) it's the Brian show through and through

[@capitangorila4899]

John has Brown Hair , Brown Light color like for example Harrison Ford or Kevin Costner. Not Blond Blond Hair was Brian Jones , David Bowie , Keith Relft , Sting 👍

[@condor-man]

The hair color they gave Harrison had to be John Lennon's.

[@siray3232]

I really liked the group interview, Paul especially got the cadence down

[@nonnel64]

I understand that it is difficult to find actors who are truly similar and who also know how to play and therefore mimic the movements of the musicians.I know that the important thing is the narrative, but every time there are notable discrepancies: here John is shorter than Ringo. The hairstyles (wigs) are very approximate; probably the general public does not notice it, but the fans do notice all these details and turn up their noses.

[@dimitreze]

@@nonnel64 John been the shortest was the worst thing for me

[@P0LGARIS]

While the actor does his character well in my opinion, for me, he looks like a kid amongst the other, which takes a bit away from the experience. I have seen the film, and read critics about it beforehand, so my expectations were not too high. I believe it tries to much and uses a certain way of telling the story (throws in some high level facts in certain places to set up the context). Of course it focuses on Brian, maybe I know the story too well, so it left me quite disengaged. My etalon in terms of biopics is still Backbeat (1994). Still I'll be interested to see the films about the Beatles themselves.

[@makeitsonumberone1358]

The films about sausage, and the beatles take a back seat.

[@All.You.Need.Is.Gloves]

Sadly all I read is people trashing the film, complaining about the hair, the height, the voice..... I personally loved that movie. The actors were brilliant, and finally I feel like we have an honest and unpretentious biopic about what the boys were like before they became legends...... just four young lads from Liverpool living their best lives doing what they loved most, not having a clue that their music was about to change the world forever. Of all movies about the Fab Four, this is my favourite. But it's mostly about Brian Epstein really, which makes it even more interesting.

[@MrDukeSilverr]

Im just glad they didnt cast thirtysomethings like they usually do

[@All.You.Need.Is.Gloves]

​@@MrDukeSilverr Tell me about it! Nothing could be less convincing than a fat 20 year old John Lennon with a bad wig.

[@Big_LHH]

Biopics don’t try to find the lookalikes, they try to find the good actors who kind of look like who they’re playing to tell the story.

[@invisibleray6987]

😂😂😂😂 tiny Lennon (the budget was so small they got a 30% discount on the actor 😂😂😂)

[@nickbrownUK]

I couldn't watch i on that basis......also....in the bits I saw John came over like Ringo's daft cousin...;

[@juju.artbook]

People constantly wonder why is so hard to make a movie about the Beatles and why most of the ones that are made don't have a lot of the boys. Well, when you read some comments it's clear why. People will neatpick every fucking detail. Yes, the actor who plays John is shorter, but DAMN the kid nailed the voice and everything else. I think we all know by know that movies and actors are not the real people and events will be changed for the benefit of the narrative. So, CHILL OUT! Why everyone bought Rami Malek and his tiny body frame but a pocket-size John is a big deal? I actually loved it, like a dream come true, tbf. I really liked this movie, reminded me of "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help!" . I loved seing the boys just being boys, honestly! Not to mention Brian finally has more recognition in their story, his struggles and genious do deserve more light. I think things got a little bit rushed by the end, but overall, I know I'll watch it again many times. Edit: Great job with the video, btw!

[@dimitreze]

@@juju.artbook thanks!

[@dylanmckee4642]

Exactly! Some Beatles fans are just way too critical! I think they looked great, I’d love to watch the full movie!

[@michaelhelmkamp6286]

I haven’t seen it yet but I can’t wait! I’m waiting for the movie to be released in the US! The only thing is I would’ve loved to seen the actors perform Twist and Shout instead of Money. I don’t know why the director decided to do that.

[@olivebluegarden]

idc about the cast or anything if its a beatles movie i love them all

[@Maxwell3115]

When The Beatles are playing for the Queen and John say "for the last number I like to..." the correct song that he introduce is "Twist and shout" no "Money". One more time changing The History!

@@TheDRMISTERY thanks!

[@MoeSchavezstein79]

Great editing! I think it's unforgivable that the actor they chose to portray Lennon looked like Howard Wolowitz and that his closeness with Brian (and I'm not exclusively referring to that blurry episode in Spain) wasn't explored. That "Lennon" even was childish and had a lack of leadership and bravado of the early days. There's a film, "The Birth of the Beatles" that you can find in KZbin which shows a more believable and truthful approach of this, even though that film encompasses a different historical period (late 50s to 1962). I know "Midas Man" is not a film about The Beatles, but the band is inherently part of Brian's personal history! Brian made them worldwide famous, and by 1966 he was terrified they wouldn't need him any longer (The film should've explore this a bit more). The actor who portrayed Brian did a great job (his manierisms!), although I originally expected someone who resembles Brian a bit more. Other notable casting: George Martin and Paul.

[@invisibleray6987]

😂😂😂😂 tiny Lennon (the budget was so small they got a 30% discount on the actor 😂😂😂)

[@mcarp555]

_Birth Of The Beatles_ was a Dick Clark production and used Pete Best for information. So of course Pete comes off really well in that movie.

[@SMPandanic]

huh.. playing money instead of Twist and Shout.. odd choice

[@owlgang01]

I bet they couldn’t afford the rights to the song

[@Bottled-Soap]

Metaphor for Brian. Beatles wanted to make people feel good, he wanted money

[@kimeojin1234]

Maybe they couldn't handle the song itself? John Lennon himself said that the song screwed up his throat, perhaps the actors couldn't sing it properly.

[@junca77]

Note that it is a copyright issue. There are no songs by Lennon and McCartney in the film, although Twist and Shout is not a song by the duo, but it is clear that the fact of marking Money instead of Twist and Shout was a copyright issue. I believe they gave preference to music that fell under the public domain law.

[@dimitreze]

@@junca77 I think it was just to fit the story better since Brian was talking about getting the Beatles to the USA

[@idontwant2beasoldiermama241]

You're very blessed to have witnessed the evolution of The Beatles and the world with it

[@idontwant2beasoldiermama241]

I don't care about shortness or any other physical thing that much as much as the performance itself, the Lennon actor IS miles away from portraying a vulnerable but confident Lennon, he was insecure but had a strong aura around him at that time, you can see his arrogance through his movements, he knew he was a genius but at the same time he felt small and comfused.
