A History Lesson Via The Beatles & Julie Taymor
on March 7, 2014
Posted by: theTHXKid
from Chicago Il.
Verified Purchase:Yes
Julie Taymor has created what I think is the most wonderful movie of this short century so far. Thrilling, thought provoking, entertaining, sad, this movie has it all & more. The story of two lovers set in the tumultuous 1960's follows Jude & his chance meeting with Maxwell's sister Lucy (yes, all the characters are names used in Beatles songs). If you have memories of the period you will love this film. If you're a history buff you will love this film. If you like the Beatles you will love this film. If you just want a nice romantic musical you will love this film. I don't want to spoil anything but I will say the rooftop scene (where they recreate the Beatles impromptu live free show atop the Abbey Road Studios) at the end brings me to tears each time I see it. Also the surprise cameos throughout are a true joy. You may recognize some of these kids as there obvious talent has helped their careers since this film. Als, much of the singing was done ive on the set as opposed to the usual ADR after the fact. With the entire of the Beatles music catalog available, director julie Taymor decided early on not to compromise the music for the sake of her story. The script went out the window when a challenge presented itself and the film was modified to fit the song rather than change the music. I love this movie so much I have given multiple copies away to many of my friends. THIS is something you want in YOUR "permanent" collection. Trust me.
My Best Buy number: 0038823343

Store music, photos, files and more with this WD My Passport Ultra 1TB portable hard drive, which features password protection and 256-bit AES encryption to safeguard your data. WD Backup software makes it easy to back up your data to the Cloud.
Can we use this for our Playstation 3?
We'd like to get more memory on our console and would like to know if it is compatible.
I have a PS3 slim model system & it will not recognize this drive. However, my PS3 works well with a smaller WD 160Gb HDD that has only USB 2.0 connectivity so it's likely an issue with the 3.0 backwards compatibility aspect of this newer drive. I would think any traditional 2.0 drive, HDD or USB Flash, should work fine. Please note that you might not be able to transfer games to it. Only game save data, & most videos, music & photos stored on your PS3 that aren't otherwise copy protected.

Is this a solid state external hard drive?
No. It is a classic HDD spinning at 5400 rpm using a USB 3.0 connection to achieve it's best transfer speeds.

I backed up my pics from one computer and when I connect it to the other one to transfer them there is no file saved. I believe it should be able to be used on more than one computer. Right?
This sounds quite odd Steve. I'm no expert, so I would save yet another picture file on it (perhaps even several in a folder & everything) with unique file names & then when it's connected to that other computer & says no file, begin a search of the drive for that unique name. Please note that data may not display if you're using the password function on the first computer but not on the second (but I would think you already know that).

No. it is a classic HDD that spins at 5400 rpm. However it is USB 3.0 & transfers data quite quickly at that rate (a bit slower at USB 2.0 or lower of course).
