I'm relying on this rotten story, all rely on the Beatles! (And there are many details in tribute to the Beatles) The plot is abruptly cut and messy, only the music is left... There are occasional highlights, of course, at the level of effect production, pictures, and MV arrangement; Joe Anderson is handsome, a piece of Kurt face, but this guy is British, hey hey hey
