Part one probably was the most negative one, like the Let it Be movie was. The moment, where Get Back came to Paul, was magical.
it's absolutely unreal to see him pull it out of thin air
I loved how Paul often wondered what people would think of all that was being filmed in fifty years time.
When John mentions his upcoming dinner with Allen Klein I wanted to shout NO JOHN!
The world NEEDS TO KNOW & REALIZE that it is really that f lowlife mercantile Klein who "broke up the Beatles"---he, like other vampire parasites which embedded themselves into the Beatles' lives, was the final one to suck the life out of what they had & had created.
I just finished part 3 and my only major complaint is that the songs recorded after the rooftop should've appear on it's entirety and not incomplete over the credits.
Apple will probably release the entire rooftop concert and associated songs in a separate DVD/Blu ray. Crafty marketing on their part
Part 4? There are only 3 parts.
@@calebgaddi1428 oops haha
"Part 4" lol. Wishful thinking on all our parts!
Part that was not mentioned was the fact that George was having marital problems at the time. Played a major role in George’s state of mind.
The thing about the Beatles, being 72 myself, is being around at the time and witnessing their impact on the world culture in real time on a daily basis, they really changed music and culture itself big time and the world fought it every step of the way! It was truly a feat to behold and witness. Young folks can watch the old videos, listen to the music etc, but never capture and truly understand the Beatles and how they totally changed the world on a global stage.
Well said, sir.
Well put. Thank you for reminding us of this important fact. You get that when Paul reads the "Weirdies" newspaper article from beginning to end. It was the youth and the Beatles against the world. And the world is still angry at us for loving the Beatles and for believing in Love, isn't it?
Totally! I instantly became a fan from Ed Sullivan on. That’s one of the blessings of being old, we experienced the Beatles in real time. Young folks can’t even imagine the impact they had on everything. Magical…
i'm 69 and totally agree Beatles changed music and culture in a global sense. but also i have to say they've had the fortune of get the best producer and the best manager to support, understand, and let them free to create anything the way they would like.
excuse me for my poor english hope you understand me
I'm 70, and I saw them in 1964 when they cane to America. And I like you, saw and went thru and enjoyed them from their beginning to their end. They DIFFENTLY change the world of music.....I still love them, and I saw them in a football field on Florida, and was in the 10 row, and yes I was one of those TEENAGE GIRLS TRYING TO GET ON THE STAGE, SCREAMING...NOT CRYING...NO I SANG ALONG WHEN I COULD HEAR THEM.....WILL Always love them......the FAB FOUR.....ALWAYS
Paul strumming his bass and coming up with ‘Get Back’ in real-time, while Ringo and George sit and watch (and John is still in bed) - seeing the song just spring out of nowhere gave me major chills.
Riveting historical document. Grateful to have it and willing to forgive any visual and audio syncing anomalies. Loved every minute.
Hello David here From Sebring Florida USA 🇺🇸 As a fan and collector of of the Beatles for over fifty years I thought Mr Jackson did a fantastic job with the film! It is a true gift to the Beatles fans! This is as close as we will ever get to know them Remember all you need is love ❤️
And Let it Be ❤️
I so agree DISNEYFAN... I'M IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. I SAW THEM IN 1964 WHEN THEY CAME TO THE JAX. STADIUM. I WAS IN THE 7TH GRADE. AND IT WAS A CONCERT THAT GOT ME INTO ROCK N ROLL. STILL A FAN, LOVE ABBY ROAD, GEORGE WROTE SOME GREAT SONGS. THEY BROUGHT MUSIC TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL....NEVER AGAIN WILL THERE BE ANY ONE LIKE THE FAB FOUR....YUP...ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE....
There were a few reverse reaction takes. Images that were reversed giving the individuals on screen a dismissive expression to what is occurring in the scene. I’m stunned that after all this time the film can be properly colortimed. The luminance is outstanding. The blacks are not crushed and look great. There are instances that appear to be chromatic lens aberrations but there is just something about those moments that leads me to believe it’s due to certain colors fading more than others and the amazing job done to get those colors back comes with a price. We’ve all heard this audio before but not like this. Im floored at the amount of work that Wingnut has done to bring that crappy Nagra up to todays cutting edge standards. I honestly thought that would be impossible.
I did notice the sync issue you mentioned and I do think it is a necessary evil required to keep a nice flow with the narrative. So establishing group shots may not be the moment these things are said but serve the film as the cut closer to 2 shots and singles. I’ve worked with Tony Richmond and I’m just floored by what he witnessed and captured during this period. I’ve always had the utmost respect for his work and seeing this footage just puts his work in a genius class all its own.
The most eye opening part for me in part one is the tremendous avalanche of creativity pouring into the studio. All the “Let It Be” album, but also parts of “Abby Road”, “All Things Must Pass” and some from John’s solo albums.
Some of Paul's solo stuff in there too!
@@Brkld1867 and George's
@@dimitreze Yeah All Things Must Pass is George's ;)
Fans know their voices. Four of the most famous voices there will ever be.
could feel the tension and tumultuousness as it went along. the ending made me tear up even knowing things have a somewhat happy ending. its weird, i wasn't too crazy about this while watching but it's stuck with me ever since. the beatles are magical.
Best two moments:
1. When Paul and George are just jamming and you can hear Paul coming up with what will become "Get Back." You see the kernel abs creation of a number 1 hit.
2. While the others are talking about places to play, Paul is over at the piano coming up with the chords to "Let It Be" and no one notices. Again, the kernel of a bit song comes just like that.
Saw part 1 tonight (unable to see it yesterday due to Thanksgiving commitments) and I am very glad to see that it has much more balance than the trailers with all of the jump cuts that picked out the goofiest bits - I am glad those bits are shown but frankly glad that Peter Jackson did appear to preserve the truth of the interactions, definitely goofy and definitely contentious. I am catching the overriding mood of wanting to leave the "Beatles phase" behind - they were all still in their 20s and were each so creative and wanted to now explore that. It feels like the enmity around Allen Klein was already primed by wanting to go beyond being summed up as a Beatle. I am 65 and was around for all of it starting with their appearance on Ed Sullivan in 1964 when I was age 7. I am gobsmacked at how Peter Jackson has resurrected their late orbit, and what it felt to have these four as part of daily life. I am overjoyed to be brought into the studio and into their creative process afresh.
FabFourArchivist....a little while, goodness My friend, really glad to see you. The documentary was phenomenal!
The overriding highlight of episode 1 was Paul writing Get Back on the spot, the song emerges virtually from nowhere, just from strums on his Hofner. To witness the creation of one of the Beatles' biggest hits was breathtaking.
It’s a pity we had to wait more than 50 years to be able to see this but I enjoyed every minute of it and part 2 is even better!
For those who predicted - prematurely - that Jackson’s Get Back would be a whitewash and would primarily feature only the sunny, joyful moments, well, you were wrong. I write this after watching the first 2 episodes. This film shows the band at times happy and enthusiastic, alternately disorganized followed by bursts of creativity and incredible musicality. At times funny, other times deadly serious. Fondly reflective and other times frustrated and angry. I wasn’t prepared for the strong emotions, border lining on tears at a certain point. This will require multiple viewings to capture everything.
Well said all around. Re: strong emotions, I feel the same way!
I just wonder when it will be coming to netflix or other, because i'm not paying for disney
Part 3 has a very effective audio trick that had me crying my eyes out seconds after the rooftop session began. Throughout the project the audio, while remarkably clean has been limited. That is to say there is a definite cut off to the highs and lows. This limitation just disappears the moment they perform Get Back on the rooftop. My infrasonic subwoofer kicked in. The back channels opened up and it was truly a cathartic moment. The magic of them performing at their best when their back is against the wall is happening right before you. I broke down at that moment.
The most amazing part was when Paul walked in and started jamming his bass along with George and within minutes came up with the basis for 'Get Back' gobsmackingly brilliant
Good to have you back!!!!!!!!
Hey! Glad to see you're back! I guess I'll weigh in on how I feel about Get Back so far. Personally, I am really enjoying the doc (I've watched parts 1 and most of part 2 as of now). I can agree that their humor definitely shines through and I've busted out laughing a good couple of times lol. But I totally see where you're coming from when you mention the lip sync issues with the video for some scenes, and it not quite matching up. In my opinion though, I can look past the issue as I'm more focused on the actual dialogue and narrative, not to mention just admiring the beautifully restored footage, than I am worried about it sometimes not looking quite right, if that makes sense. With that being said, I'll give them a pass because I'm sure Peter and his team tried their hardest to make sure as many scenes as possible could be synced completely, but of course this isn't always the case. Another thing I like is how it does appear to be quite balanced in terms of having bad, tension filled moments, and happy, goofy moments. The doc isn't bumming me out, but it also isn't painting a fairy tale picture of the band. (ex: one moment they're jamming together in funny accents, and another moment we get an intimate discussion at lunchtime between Paul and John about George's departure). I'm also quite invested in the story within the doc, which is funny because well, we all know what happens in the end lol. So I have to hand it to Peter/ the editors for putting together a compelling and captivating doc that leaves me wanting more. All in all though, I am NOT disappointed so far, and I'll be watching part 3 tomorrow! I have to say, I think this was definitely worth the wait.
Listened to this review for about five minutes then realized I really wanted to experience the film in my own way, just like I experienced Sgt. Pepper and the White Album. By myself. In my room.
Welcome back :)
The "lip sync" thing is addressed at the beginning of each episode and you show the slide yourself. "Scenes that contain audio only etc". I understand that the footage is not ever going to match the recorded dialog. So it works like a "dubbed into English" movie. If the camera's were rolling for a few hours a day, there would be plenty of footage to accompany to hours of recorded dialogue.
I thought I was gonna get sick of them playing the same songs over and over... but I've watched the whole of Get Back three times and the show's still holding together
I thought the Intro was a way to say that this is a continuation of Anthologu. Did you notice that it starts with a Waening folloerd by the Beatkes singing, Despite of All the Danger? That hug at the end initiated by John with Paul and Ringo was heart wrenching.
Great to hear from you again :)
Tbh I didn't see the yoko jam as being obnoxious. I think they were all just fooling around and trying to get some more documentary footage for the day, instead of just sitting around being depressed.
I'm not really a Yoko fan, but I like how they portraited both her and Linda as active characters in the narrative, instead of just "the women in the background". Way more interesting to watch.
Ringo being himself shines in part 1, Paul was really trying his best, John helping to keep everyone laughing while the star of the show was definitely George with his songs, talent, style and seemingly the wise one!
They did say some footage would be supplemented if there wasn't available video for some audio, I just attributed the lip sync to that.
I noticed one sync issue while seeing it once. I noticed how Ringo’e face was really smooth (was that just me?)
But this was pure gold to any Beatles fan. Every moment! Watching Paul hammer (lol) put Get Back = amazing. Hearing Paul play Let it Be in the background = priceless.
Beatles...Beatles...Beatles...May I have more please???
Clearly, I felt they rushed into this in January 1969 with not enough thought about the setting or the agenda. That may have been partially because of the director and partially because they couldn't decide between themselves what would be best. What I see is a director who has a limited vision who thinks they have to be planted in a grand location for impact, when he can't see the band is all the impact he needs. He constantly needles them to go to Libya, which is completely pretentious and way to expensive, not to mention a logistic and technical nightmare. They needed a director to step back from grand designs and place them in a place they felt the most comfortable and creative. A place where they felt like themselves, and not rushed, cajoled, and stressed out. That's what part one is all about, that and trying to accept everyone's changes and direction in music and life. George left for a good reason. He was bursting with his own creative direction and in rehearsal he felt snubbed and degraded. Paul, on his part, was just trying to get the sound he was looking for, and he came off as bossy. It was a lousy setting that was not conducive to creativity. Luckily, things changed on part 2.
Haven’t seen pt 2, but happy to know it’s looking up. Seen ep 1 and Lindsey-Hogg is such an unhelpful (yes pretentious is the right word) idiot. Amazing they’re all still in their 20’s and now trying to manage themselves. No wonder the chaos, and incredible the albums they still managed to create.
Nice to see you posting again! I also noticed lip sync issues but it's minor problem. Great overall sound and picture. What struck me about the first episode was 1) how George arrived with a bad attitude and lack of confidence (that is gone by 3rd episode) and was difficult for John and Paul to work with (even more evident here than in original Let It Be), and 2) how Michael Lindsay-Hogg kept badgering Ringo about Tripoli, etc. Not sure if end of E1 or start of E2 where he and the Magic Christian movie director start pushing the AWFUL idea of the QEII - I think it was George, maybe, who quite rightly says that he doesn't want to be trapped for 2 weeks on a boat with a shipload of rabid Beatles fans - can you imagine?
They should have made the 7 hour version for the super fan and made the 1.5 hour edit for the casual fan.
I absolutely loved the docu series. Its definetelly missing a few context points here and there and i wish songs were shown more in full while they were being taped, i also wish "Wailing japanese/my imagination" thing after george had left had been longer like in the bootlegs. Overral i love love love this depiction of the get back era.
A biography of the Fab Four after they die, one book per member, with each chapter taking place at the same time throughout their lives, would be fascinating. You could read the first chapter of each book to get a complete story, and as the biography moves on, their lives split apart.
Do it!
I was hoping you would make a video for this!!
In part 3 there's out of focus material left in. This was all blown up from 16mm to 35mm and digitally reprocessed to be HD, so a lot of visual information is blown up far more than would usually be done. Jackson did the best job he could, and he reprocessed all the mono camera sound to multitrack stereo. I hear what you're saying about the lip sync and all, but it's much better than it ever could have been before. Also, it's a documentary, so I don't mind it being rough around the edges. BTW my hot take is that you can skip parts one and two which are depressing and just watch part 3, which has everything from the first two in it but better.
16mm and 35mm are both natively HD. 35mm is actually super HD and what you see in a theater is usually scaled down - this is why 4K UHD editions of old movies are possible. The weird murky look of this film is 100% caused by Jackson using a digital grain remover (16mm and even some 35mm film stocks are very grainy) and then using a digitally placed artificial grain layer of the footage, ostensibly to make the image look sharper and more natural after the grain remover has softened lines and removed detail - sadly it doesn't work. I'm also pretty sure Jackson used AI to sharpen faces when he's digitally zoomed in too far on a shot or used an out of focus shot. For a project that took nearly half a decade, the results are surprisingly sloppy.
George pushes back against Paul's ramblings during the development of "Get Back", that always seems to contradict what he's doing. When George suggests they, "...need Eric Clapton...", both John and Paul retort, "no we need George Harrison", and George walks. Defining moment.
I'm 10 years old again. Like it was yesterday
One of the sad things about the release date is that Billy Henshe of Dino Desi and Billy, and Dennis Wilsons later version of the Beach Boys, who I KNOW would have loved to see this documentary , passed away only days before it was released.
Loved part 1. Thought the syncing issues were to simply show the person talking even if they didn’t have a close up of them talking at the time. Found it a little jarring but I was okay with it. Overall really loved it and especially the Third Man jam by John’
I do wish they'd used stills or even just some kind of botification when it was audio only instead of trying to blend it with other footage because it'll end up with people ascribing intent to lines because of visual cues from looks on faces etc when it wasn't footage that was really connected to that conversation.
Other than that I loved it.
Oh, and there are multiple times where they only show part of a song that infuriated me. Like I get it, we got those songs A LOT, but I love seeing the buildup/fallout on a take. Makes me want that 18 hour rough cut that Jackson started with after going through it all. XD
Subtitles: Yoko (wailing)
Sums that up pretty well.
The dubbing issue you reference half way through your video is commented on at the beginning of each episode.
Did anyone else notice that when they were showing the history of the band at the beginning of part one they said Ringo joined in 61, before Brian started managing them?
Yeah that really set off alarm bells for me. I thought if they could make an error that major and blatant in the prologue it could be a bad sign for the whole project. Thankfully everything else I’ve seen in Parts 1 and 2 have been great without glaring errors.
I'll have to go back and re-watch that part. Did it say he joined or that they met him in '61? Because wasn't he playing in Hamburg at the same time they were?
On their first trip to Hamburg Ringo was there drumming for “Rory Storm and the Hurricanes”. Because they were playing eight hours a day in shifts…Ringo sat in for Pete Best a few times. In many interviews Paul has said that’s when he noticed how they “could” sound with a competent drummer.
Notorious mistake
@@buddyneher9359 They said he joined the group in 61, right after that they say Brian becomes their manager.
Really enjoyed it so far - one thing that I guess everyone has noticed; in that 10 minute intro, the introduction of Ringo to the band is out of chronological order. Basic error! Seeing Paul making the band persevere with Maxwell’s Silver Hammer is a bit embarrassing, knowing how much the rest of the band hated the song. And seeing Yoko take the mic and start smiling and screeching at the end of the day that George leaves is just plain obnoxious- her self-belief and importance knows no bounds. Maureen Starkey’s disbelieving stare says everything you need to know.
I kind of wish they was put the Jam Paul Ringo John and Yoko perform on the Let It be reissue or even as a standalone single as a new Beatles track
Hammer (“and anvil” from George) was a reference (sneer) at Maxwell’s Silver Hammer me thinks…
I agree the reusing angles and and the video and audio not always the same is a little funky at first. Understand how they're trying to keep the storylines and keep the video rolling vs starting to use just ken burns photos. I feel like they should've subtitled the whole thing though, or make it easier to tell who is talking by putting text near the person maybe.
That’s a nice beard you got there man
Part one made me really feel for Paul. He didn’t want to be the bad guy but you could see that only he really had the want to continue with the band itself
Apologies for stating the obvious:
When the audio track is saying something (for instance, George having a moan) DON'T SHOW George with his lips not moving - or his lips moving but obviously saying something else entirely.
Peter Jackson is trying, sometimes, to show us a scene for which he has no visuals, only audio.
The Get Back film is great - but often it's a bit clunky, visually; some brief parts are akin to a badly dubbed Italian Spaghetti Western.
This has happened because they had a lot more audio than they had visual material to play with. But they wanted to create a new thing, a new story film, distinct from the original Get Back film. Hence digitally engineered 'cropped' close-ups that were never intended by the original cinematographers; two-shot talking heads conversations that were never filmed; jarring mismatches between one shot and another, or between sound and vision generally, etc etc.
Paul is crouching
IN FRONT of an amp , 4:52 ,
while Yoko sings ?
Your Southern accent breaks through on occasion. Where does that originate from ?
David here From Sebring Florida USA 🇺🇸 I have been a Beatles Fan for over fifty years, I just saw Get Back on Disney Plus I thought it was fantastic!
I have a question for the Fans
Do you think it is a little sad that the band could not kept it together just a little longer to do a tv special it could’ve just been in an old theater or television studio the way they did all you need is love or did you think the rooftop concert what is the best place to leave their last live performance please leave your thoughts here thanks and remember all you need is love 😎🇺🇸
You gave me a Headache
Brought back just how much fun they were as a group , , even the negative parts were bringing back things I was doing when I listened to my Beatle Albums Paul is the leader and he and John are amazing together . Ringo just funny and hitting those drums ... Got a whole different view of George . 1969 I had been listening for years , I just got furious at Mark David Chapman for killing John Lennon ... I got a view of their Ladies and they contributed a lot .
Lance, the group's music was paramount, of course. However, they had a radical reaction in the youth movement, as well. Their insouciance to their elders' world had a galvanizing effect on teen's perception. They also changed social styles of dress and culture. As they progressed, these four lads had a profound importance on music and society at large.
OH MY GOD, YOU'RE ALIVE! I didn't want to bother you on Twitter, and I hope everything is going well in your life. Carry on... 🙏💪🏻
Id give anything to talk to you about this because only you would understand my take on this I took watching this so seriously since many of my family didn't live to see it so much so I took notes like in college and I've learned quite a bit on things I thought I've known for years looking at events from a different angle
Hey Michael! I just sent you a FB message, and then I noticed your comment on here. Funny timing.
Yeah, I'm watching this pretty seriously, as well. This is a big deal in my world. I'm trying to just chill and enjoy it, but I can't help but analyze the "new" info through the perspective of everything else we know about the band.
Good to hear from you. Always happy to connect here.
Imo the intro is supposed to establish the situation the Beatles find themselves in and their history before these sessions more than to focus on the music. This film isn’t about that music, it’s about the Get Back sessions.
You mentioned lip syncing, there was a couple of occasions where George was playing the ‘wrong’ chords for the audio. But did it bother me? Nah.
Do not have cable tv, how can i watch?
Hey Gary. It's on Disney Plus - no cable required. I think it's $8/mo. here in the US. Not free as some wish, but one month is cheaper than a movie ticket. (And well worth it for this series alone.)
Monotony broke up The Beatles.
4:53 Yoko Ono gets her wish
After finishing the series, my overall thoughts was that it was very good and I thoroughly enjoyed it but there are a few things I thought about it.
The main one is the effects they added to the footage, I don't care for it and think it hurts the quality of the visuals. There are some points, especially in Twickenham in some of the darker areas, where people look really waxy and unnatural. I wished they had kept enhancement to a minimum and kept the film as having its grain.
Another thing I though about it is that I feel the feature-length run time for each of the episodes was pretty long. I think it would have been better like Anthology where it's seven or eight 1-hour parts cause 3-hours is quite a long time.
I still enjoyed it despite the few negatives I have to say about it and will definitely buy any special edition they release of it.
The great thing about streaming services is you can watch as much or as little in one go, and return to it when you like..
@@AlanPrior It makes the experience much lesser stopping and starting than if you were to watch all the way through each part. it's also not the way it was intended to be seen which also detracts from the experience.
pause and then watch when you are not tired
@@dimitreze Being tired isn't the problem. The is hours of runtime with not a lot happening is.
I enjoyed it, but there were certainly choices made in the editing. There's too much editing. Too many unnecesary cutaways when somone was talking or playing. Way too many cover up shots and way way too many shots of trying to sync up dialogue with bits of unrelated video.
Basically, this was like watching 2 hours of the Lady Madonna video where the Beatles are singing and performing Hey Bulldog. Love Lady Madonna, but that's not what the Beatles are playing.
And how annoying was Michael Lindsay Hogg? No one ever listened to a word he said.
My biggest problem with get back is that Disney promise this in the movie theaters and then they back out like cowards
I want a bluray or dvd copy!
It's *got* to be coming, right? No official word yet, but I can't imagine them ignoring old school fans who want a tangible good in their hands.
@@FabFourArchivist Especially for those of us who does not support Disney
When George left they talked like it was nothing but w/o all four became agitated and discombobulated-
I think any video about part one less than 2.5 hours is going to make too many cuts
1:09 Across the globe? In Poland we don't have the chance to watch it.
Bummer. VPN?
@@FabFourArchivist I don't know how it works. Is it legal?
I think the main things I took from Episode 1 were:
How unprepared they were for such a significant challenge of writing, recording and performing a brand new album in 20 days!
The bands admission that Paul has been "boss" since Mr Epstein's death.
George being at times enthusiastic then negative, whilst Paul was trying to coral them to focus and get through. John and Ringo were just there...
Mentions of how they enjoyed the White Album.
And Ringo was everyone's favourite.
Paul was significant in shaping Don't Let Me Down and Gimme Some Truth, it was also good to see input to lyrics and arrangements from the likes of Glyn Johns and Mal Evans to the likes of Let It Be and Long and Winding Road.
Mal being lyric note taker and copier...
Seeing the shaping of new songs like Get Back from Paul jamming himself and Ringo and George joining in.
Michael Lindsay Hogg knocking his head against a brick wall with his amphitheatre idea whilst Ringo and George were completely against it and Paul knew a foreign trip was out.
It's actually amazing they managed to create so many classic songs in the circumstances Let It Be, Get Back, Long and Winding Road and Don't Let Me Down. Although they were mainly all Paul's.
Then even more astonishingly, they took a short break and then recorded their swansong and masterpiece Abbey Road.
Just a magnificent review of part 1. I can't wait for your review of part 2
Thank you so much 🖖
@@MrMuzikProductions Thanks Nick, it was just a brain dump. Hopefully manage a decent update on Ep2, but now u see pressure 😂
Anywhere I can watch this for free I’m broke
I think D+ has a 7 day free trial. No other options I can think of. Good news is, just one paid month would be cheaper than going to see this in the movie theater.
I learned that Paul was a dictator and Billy Preston saved the day and the album - and made everybody happy when he showed up! He probably never knew they were disgusted and dying before he showed up - and totally disorganized.
I thought part one was good,, I think it showed the each had different things going on but they were still Beatles,,
That growing frustration,, and some arguments happen but I think it also showed that they were friends.
I am very upset that u can NOT see The Beatles Get Back Documentary in theaters. ONLY ON DISNEY+. I Do NOT have that channel. I have to pay an extra fee to get it for a whole year. That SUCKS. Sorry to say it that way.
Why not subscribe for one month and then cancel, like I did? £7.99 for a month of Disney+ is about half the price of a cinema ticket.
@@cuchulainx3125 I did not know i could do that. Thank you so much for that information.
Disney + is not a channel, but a streming service
you should seek info before just saying anything
@@dimitreze Unfortunately I do not have the resources u think I may have. I am sorry if I offended u. Enjoy your day.
First takes from most of ep 1. It’s pretty clear Lindsey-Hogg somehow thought he knew the Beatles were breaking up in the near future (he actually says in part 1 it’s to be their last tv show, and Ringo says basically & rightly WTF man) and that colored his take. So sad he entirely missed the complex truth of the situation, and it’s great to know more now. (Tbh Lindsey-Hogg comes off very poorly, he’s super annoying, & even cloying.) Seems truly the worst thing that happened to the Beatles was Brian Epstein’s untimely death. Completely tragic. They needed management, and John was taking heroin at the time as we know. Paul steps up & unfortunately makes George super understandably annoyed. It bothered me that Yoko was always in the circle, yet not part of the group, that feels very weird, like an energy drain in any circle. But, she is very clearly not the main issue. The dynamics are so interesting… Omg, it’s all so long ago though.
Thought it could go straight into the Let it Be recordings. Every fan knows the back story.
This was such a missed opportunity for MLH. So sad he was too busy fanboying.
As Elliot Roberts says on his video, this completely changes how we see this period. Just providing context for each scene makes a huge difference.
Part 2 is exceptional and we get to see more of Paul losing himself on avant garde music! Among so many other things that yeah I think are spoilers, because the docuseries just keeps surprising.
But sure, the editing is questionable at parts. Some bits are very fast paced to the point of being confusing and some are way too slow and could have been trimmed. I think embracing the lack of material during conversation would've led to better results than their attempts to mask it.
Yeah I’m watching it and laughing like hell when Billy Preston showed up like Jesus Christ to save them and their album! He probably never knew that they were dying frustrated and angry when he showed up - and totally unorganized.😂 Lmao Ringo ran to hug him and he was kidnapped by the Beatles within 2 minutes! The doc was boring before Billy Preston showed up - nothing was happening…..
WHERE YOU SHOULD GO. Prog-rock piece melodically inspired by Dear Prudence: ruclips.net/video/pk9W0uHCqUY/видео.html
Finished Part 2 last night and I'm honestly a little disappointed. A lot of this series could have been left on the cutting room floor. It drags a lot. Also, the weird murky look of this film is 100% caused by Jackson using a digital grain remover (16mm and even some 35mm film stocks are very grainy) and then digitally placing an artificial grain layer over the footage, ostensibly to make the image look sharper and more natural after the grain remover has softened lines and removed detail - sadly it doesn't work, in my opinion. I'm also pretty sure Jackson used AI to sharpen faces when he's digitally zoomed in too far on a shot or used an out of focus shot. For a project that took nearly half a decade, the results are surprisingly sloppy. I understand the cameras weren't always running when the audio was, but instead of trying to force similar shots into slightly matching the audio, they should have just cut to B-roll footage - there was 52 hours of footage that went unused in this, so there should have been more than enough. Hoping Part 3 is better.
John Lennon was really not a good person, and at this point in the band’s history, he was not a very good songwriter or player. Paul McCartney is left to try and keep Lennon engaged, just so they can simply finish something. Lennon behaves like a bored, annoying 13 year old boy.
I don’t understand why John Lennon gets the credit he does and avoids the criticism he deserves. Or maybe I do understand it.
A lot of John’s problemat this point was not Yoko as some may think, He was strung out on heroin at the time and was probably damn lucky to even be able to wake up every day let alone have any kind of input. One thing I think we could have done without and this is my opinion, is Yoko’s miserable screeching.
Boring, boring, boring.....exception admirable/excellent rooftop show !!!
I must interject that the reason that they made the Anthology was because George was broke at the time. He lost a lot of money with his movie company Handmade Films. The Beatles were helping to get him out of debt with releasing the Anthology. That’s probably why you see a lot of George’s commentary and input in the documentary. I would say they reached their objective on that one. It made a lot of money. I’ve read that Pete Best finally became a millionaire because of it. Neil Aspinall was key to that one. It aired on (ABC) National Television for “ALL” to see. Everything they do now is pure greed. No way am I subscribing to Disney + to see this. Disney!!!! Come on now! Cut me a break.
