My dad bought me the documentary for Christmas last year, and I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that this was my first time watching it. I generally watch movies when I'm going to bed, and in that case, I don't normally pick movies I want to really pay attention to because I'm just going to fall asleep anyways. And then, the other times I watch movies tends to be with friends. And it's just not every day that one of my friends says to me, "Hey Rainie, we should totally watch this documentary about the circus!" Although, I really think they should. ;) (to be fair, some would, but not many)
I was really hoping the ENTIRE performance would be on this dvd because, as I said, Vegas just doesn't fit into my budget right now. But I didn't really expect it to (and it wasn't). But the documentary was super interesting. It followed the whole production of the show. And what do I find out while watching this?! That George Harrison was friends with the founder of Cirque du Soleil, Guy Laliberte. AND that it was old Georgie's idea for Cirque du Soleil to create a show using The Beatles' music.
Now George has always been my favorite Beatle. He's kind of mysterious. He's super spiritual. And his songs are just absolutely beautiful. (In fact, I liked him so much that my mom considered letting me take a day off of school in 8th grade to mourn his death.) And now I find out that my favorite Beatle came up with the idea to collaborate with Cirque du Soleil! Another one of my favorite things!
This just completely solidifies my reasoning that George is by far the best Beatle. It is just beautiful. It is love.
