Anyone who knows me will know that I dislike biopics. Ever since I saw The Doors in the 1990s, I have had a dislike for this popular genre of film. Very, very few Beatles biopics interest me, and I really doubt I will see those four upcoming ones about the Beatles.
But this particular film, Midas Man, about Brian Epstein, has grabbed my attention. I am such a fan of Brian, and I think any attention given to his life is a wonderful thing. I am so happy that in the past decade, Brian has started to get the recognition he deserves. Having a film made about him and his life is a huge step forward. And while I haven't had a chance to see this film yet, I have heard really good things about it from other fans who have, and I think I will give it a chance.
Midas Man is currently showing, and I know a lot of fans really like bio pics, so I didn't want anyone to miss out on seeing this one. Here is the official announcement and link. If you get a chance to see it -- let me know what you think!

He was the essential ingredient for their success...truly the 5th Beatle imo
ReplyDeleteWhile I give George Martin a lot of credit for the Beatles success -- they wouldn't have even gotten to Martin if it wasn't for Brian. Brian is the 5th Beatle in my eyes as well.
DeleteAnd in Ringo's eyes, too.
DeleteYou know that you are going to see those four movies, if, for no other reason, than to count the mistakes. 😂
ReplyDeleteThat is true -- it could be a fun game -- find the mistakes.
