Introduction
The primary goal of the essay is to provide the analysis of the movie Yellow Submarine by Beatles, which was filmed in 1968 (The Beatles par. 1). It remains evident that it was inspired by the Beatles’ song Yellow Submarine and their substantial success in the music industry. According to the plot, the Beatles play the role of the heroes and want to help Captain Fred to get rid of Blue Meanies in the Pepperland (The Beatles par. 1). In this instance, Blue Meanies are the music haters and annoy other inhabitants. Nonetheless, in this instance, the movie is analyzed with the assistance of the transversal terms such as “figurative explorations”, “eventualization”, and “subjective territory” while understanding the existence of “post/human” (Zooz 236). It could be assumed that the presence of these elements in the film Yellow Submarine contributes to the understanding of the new roles of the human, as the music industry and human beings are presented as being superheroes. The analysis assists in understanding the value of friendship, different personalities, and changing scenes and challenges in Yellow Submarine.
Analysis
Firstly, the understanding of figurative explorations in the context of the film Yellow Submarine has to be provided. In this instance, the musicians are presented from a different perspective since they are seen in the dissimilar roles of superheroes, who are able to save the world. Nonetheless, their portrayal and introduction in the movie are different. This concept helps to present the personalities of the singers from different perspectives. For instance, after the attack of the Blue Meanies Captain Fred travels and finds Yellow Submarine and convinces Ringo to find his friends and save the world from the music haters (Yellow Submarine). The main heroes appear differently, and Paul is shown as a romantic person since Love You Too is his theme song. In the end, they continue traveling and sing “we all together now” (Yellow Submarine). The figurative explorations discover the post/human nature of the Beatles, as they are depicted in surreal and challenging conditions. In the end, using this figurative audio and visual material assist in understanding the principle of friendship between the group members despite having completely different personalities.
Secondly, eventualization refers to the ability to discover the particular connections between events and see the world from a different perspective. In this instance, the main heroes have to experience a challenging and distant journey before they reach the final destination. For instance, they have to cross the Sea of Time, which implies that the time flies. In this case, they sing the song “when I am sixty-four” (Yellow Submarine). In the other scene, the Yellow Submarine crosses the Sea of Nothing, where the Beatles find Jeremy Hillary Boob, who looks rather funny but is revealed very cleverly (Yellow Submarine). Nonetheless, the Beatles devote the song “Nowhere Man” (Yellow Submarine). This song underlines that it is hard to find the place in life for the creatures like him due to the inability of the society to appreciate them. The eventualization determines the scene and the context of the song, as the film tends to address the major aspect of everyday life. The eventualization in the context of Yellow Submarine reveals the main issues of modern society related to time, recognition of science, and other obstacles.
As for the subjective territory, it could be understood as the particular combination of the range of concepts from which the chosen object perceives and experiences (Zooz 236). Nonetheless, it remains evident that Beatles see the world from a different perspective than the other inhabitants of this imaginary world. Firstly, they are not scared of challenges since they start their adventure and want to protect the rest of the world from the Blue Meanies. However, in the final scene, the Beatles are displayed in the form of real human beings (Yellow Submarine). They were able to stay together, and they sing the song “All Together Now” for their unity and friendship (Yellow Submarine). Nonetheless, each of them returns from the voyage having a souvenir from it. For example, George has the engine of the submarine, as he was the person, who led the group and Captain Fred from the challenges of the magical world (Yellow Submarine). In this instance, the subjective territory underlines the value of friendship among the member of the group and emphasizes the individual characteristics of each member.
Conclusion
In the end, the transversal terms are actively present in the movie Yellow Submarine by Beatles. In this instance, the musicians are portrayed from a different perspective, as they are understood as the potential people, who are able to help Captain Fred to save the world. Analyzing the movie with the assistance of transversal terms such as eventualization, subjective territory, and figurative explorations assist in understanding the complexity of the film’s idea and presence of the perception of the post/human from a different point of view by underlining the key issues related to the flow of time, appreciation, and friendship.
