The Beatles: Get Back

He took an exceptional insight into the world's most influential group and completely sanitized it. Yes, the Lindsay-Hogg movie was sad but it also portrayed life and relationships as they were at the time. Now that's what documentaries are supposed to do. Shame on Jackson. Why was the development of tensions city from how it really was? It's critically important to understand how and why the relationship between John and Paul fell apart. It's equally important to see how other relationships were affected. Paul was a control freak. Even his influence on Ringo was damaged. George was an extremely talented musician and just outgrew Paul. Why is that edited out of the original? It's also very important to provide the context of Ono's ever growing relationship with John. Much of the documentary hinges on watching that develop.

It was one of the best hour in my life. It was so great to see that band again with incredible sound that IMAX theatres offers. The funny thing was that I'm 22 and when I entered the theatre there was a group of some older men and they said "God it's great to see some young people enjoy their music like we did" 😊

By an OLD Beatle fan, I mean- you 1st saw The Beatles on Ed Sullivan and watched them evolve both personally and musically. We all kind of grew up together. You remember the songs, the girl friends, marriages, divorces, new songs, old songs, concerts- all of it. You will also see and wonder about Yoko's weird presence in the recording sessions: really weird and why is she there? Probably to control John. What I found particularly interesting is how they composed songs- FASCINATING! All playing off each other- all a tune to one another and could feel what was needed to make the song work--and watch a song grow. That in itself if interesting for any Beatle fan!

The most unforgettable 'one-hour plus' live-concert that took us back to The Beatles' era. Peter Jackson used split-screen effectively to capture natural reactions from seemingly random audience. Each members lit up the screen with their own persona.

....it ended too soon!!! I would have gladly sat through another hour of concert footage. Especially loved the short historical intro to the band and how their career led to this moment.
