Yakking With F @YakkingWithTitanic 10/11/2024 i loved the documentary on disney+ with my dad we watched like 100 times now i have it on dvd and blu ray Blu Ray Edition DVD Edition And the movie poster from amazon canada Best Beatles Series Ever i give get back a 10 10 awesome documentary from peter jackson awesome if you are a beatles fan watch it on disney+ or buy it on dvd See more Serch M 06/15/2024 Absolute perfection!!! See more Simon T @Bucksplit 11/11/2023 Yes, it's far far too long. Almost as if Peter Jackson had edited it in real time. But it's also true that it improves as the truncated roof top gig approaches. And it's fascinating to hear the beginnings of famous songs being minted in the small basement recording studio at Apple HQ, among the mugs of tea and daily plates of toast. Inevitably there's poignancy in what we know is to come, but it's also there in the Scouse humour, the clear affection all the Beatles had for each other, and the hair and fashions of the late-sixties. And technically, the footage has been cleaned up so expertly it could have been shot this afternoon. See more Patrick F 03/31/2023 In this terrific documentary, Peter Jackson expertly recut the footage shot in January of 1969 that produced the film "Let It Be." The result is nearly eight hours of amazing behind the scenes Beatles storytelling. The film reveals the truth behind the final days of the greatest band there ever was. The band was still essentially happy playing together. Yoko did not "break up the Beatles." Paul's witty and foretelling comment in the film about her presence says it all: "It's going to be such an incredible sort of comical thing, like, in fifty years' time, you know: 'They broke up 'cause Yoko sat on an amp'." While the band played nicely together still, the documentary lays bare a series of smoldering hurt feelings and misunderstandings. We see the drama of George quitting the band and having to be coaxed back in by his friends. We see George almost submissively asking for permission to do a solo album apart from the group. We get a real up close look at a band of superstars that decided years earlier not to have a manager try and manage song writing, a live album, and a documentary. The only downside of the film is that it is a little long in the tooth. Casual Beatles fans may get bored here and there. But big fans of the Beatles will just eat it all up. Great film. See more Aidan M @AMM52 02/24/2023 Could be considered boring to some, but music fans will love to see how the most famous band ever wrote their last album together and played one last time.
