We're not confusing Let It Be with Lady Madonna, are we?
I can't see the blasphemy in Let It Be, but I can see how Lady Madonna could possibly be blasphemous or anti-life.
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
No, not in the context of the story of the movie, (which does not include Lady Madonna) but it is interesting that you raise that. I never really looked at the Beatles career as a direct assault on Catholicism, since most of it happened at such a young age for me and I had not yet differentiated being Catholic from the outside world. (BTW, roscoe is not interested in this movie, he is just interested in harassing me with a hijack because of my posting against some militant pro-choicers, I have him on ignore)
Anyway, I just gave a listen to the Lady Madonna and it is the blatant attack, but in the context of the movie, which places each Beatles song in it against related events in the fictional characters' lives, it becomes very clear that "Let It Be" was a very effective cut right to the throat of Catholic culture. I remember the arguments of the time, and many of us did not understand the anger some adults had about "Let It Be" because it almost seemed like it was a peaceful motherly kind of sentiment while "Lady Madonna" was blatant and we could understand the anger about that.
Having watched the whole movie, I think it is not at all an attempt to trace the flow of satanism into our lives because it is truly a secular film that is apparently no more than a love story about an English kid and the American girl he meets, but it is the most accurate and encapsulated history of the end of one era and start of the other that I have seen.
It is unintentional truth-telling, often that's the best kind. :wink:
