This from apple.com/trailers...
A Moulin Rouge-esque film is soon to be released that features, a la I Am Sam, a soundtrack consisting entirely of Beatles covers. Were that not enough, the story seems to float upon the buoyancy of the songs as well. Set in the 60s, it follows a group of college kis reliving turbulent times of social unrest, all the while relying on "the music, man" to help them cope. One can bet that they're social activists in only the most superficial of ways, in that they spend more time getting ready for the protest than they do protesting.
I'm tired of the Beatles being appropriated in this manner. It irritates me.
Anyway, check out the trailer.

While the trailer looks pretty cliche. I don't see anything wrong with the appropriation of the music. If anything, it might expose people to the wonder of their discography and make a few new people fans of this genre of music.
To each their own. Cheers.
