Analyzing The Movie 'Yellow Submarine'
Analysis of Yellow Submarine
The film, Yellow Submarine, produced by the Beatles is a fantasy film in which the presence of colors and music guide the characters through their magical world. Pepperland is a colorful place filled with joyful citizens and a winter free world. No one is lonely because they are all happy and always full of life.
The major theme in this movie is the idea of freedom and happiness. Freedom is an idea thought by many to be a right, but in this film it is something that is easily taken away from the citizens of Pepperland. This happy place is attacked by the Blue Meanies. They despise color, music, beauty, and happinessbut most of all freedom. The Blue Meanies represent a dictatorshipthey quickly take over and force the citizens to obey them. They freeze all of the people making them colorless, turning Pepperland into a plain and boring place. The people are turned into what looks like lifeless, flat, grey drawings. Everything surrounding them is drab and also lacking color. The people of Pepperland are clearly upset by this take over because you can see tears running down their faces as their frozen in place.
The Beatles represent a sort of knights in shining armor for the people of Pepperland. The one man that escapes the Blue Meanies goes off in search of help in his yellow submarine. When he …show more content…
stumbles across the Beatles (Ringo, John, Paul, and George), who are more than happy to help fend off the evil meanies. The Meanies are people who love war and like an army try to control people by violence and fear. The Beatles hop into the submarine and head back to play their, what seems like magic, music to stop the Meanines from hurting the people of Pepperland.
On their quest to overcome the Meanies, the Beatles help people along the way as they can. Through the course of the yellow submarine's travels, they get sucked up into a black hole. It is here that they meet the nowhere man. The only things he knows are books and words. He is a very lonely and unhappy individual who knows all, except where he fits in.
Through this idea of freedom comes the idea of respecting others as well. Respecting people for who they no matter what their differences. Through freedom, the freedom to be yourself, all people were created and should be treated equally. The songs within this film are all antiviolence, suggesting that change should be brought about by love, not violence.
.I believe that music has a significant role through out this film.
It is through music that the Pepperlanders are brought "back to life". At the end of the film, the song "All you need is love", is played. The Beatles sing their songs not to hurt the Blue Meanies, but to change them with love and music, not force. When the Beatles sing their songs, the Blue Meanies don't know what to do; they forget how to fight and for the first time feel happiness. All from one set of lyrics, "love is all you need", the Blue Meanies love life, which allows for the people of Pepperland to return to their state of happiness with vibrant colors and
music.
The song "yellow submarine" symbolizes the ideal society and suggests that we are all riding in the yellow submarine of life on the planet earth. "And our friends are all aboard. Many more of them live next door And we live a life of ease. Everyone of us has all we need. Sky of blue and sea of green. In our yellow submarine." It is in a way symbolizing the idea of saving the earth and living in harmony with the inhabitants of the world. A prominent observation throughout the film is the depiction of certain things throughout the film. It is a very brightly colored film and there are many vividly displayed colors. These colors have deep meaning, and the most important of them all are blue and yellow.
Blue is used within the film to show the emotion of sadness. It can be seen multiple times throughout the course of the film, but most prominent when the people of Pepperland are frozen and their freedoms are taken away from them. Yellow is shown in the film as a color of happiness. The idea that the submarine is itself yellow represents that it brings happiness where ever it travels.
In this film, it is seen that with love, anything is in fact is possible. Freedom and one's right to happiness conquers all.
