As well as its reference to the principal character, the movie’s title also comes from a line in a Dr Seuss book that Sam reads to his daughter incessantly, but it would have been no surprise if there had somehow been a way of calling the film I Am the Walrus. Sam is a Beatles fan who loves their songs and bases his “philosophy” of life on things the Fab Four have said or sung. Not surprisingly, he names his daughter Lucy Diamond and throughout I Am Sam, Beatles allusions abound, stretching to a soundtrack that includes cover versions of a number of Lennon/McCartney classics. Songs like “Two of Us” and “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away” are neatly inserted to complement various stages of the story.
