Beatles Help!

I found this certain music kinetic typography interesting mainly because I am a Beatles fan. But other than that I believe this video shows a truthful story. As people, American's in particular, we believe we can be self-sufficient through anything we do and we should never ask for help. Just listening to this song one may not see the whole meaning, but shown through kinetic typography it shows that the source is asking for help. When he was younger he never needed it but now that he is older he realizes that he doesn't know everything and needs outside help. As a society, we tend to think that being independent is completely necessary but in most jobs and situations people are in groups or committees and help each other. I also found it interesting at the end of the video that the little robot that was flying around was looking up at the person, as if for help, but ironically the human just looked down on him, poked him, and flicked him away, which then almost defeated the purpose to the entire song/video.
