Get Back


This is in the words of its director, Peter Jackson, a documentary about a documentary. The Beatles, at the time of the original filming of the documentary, were the most successful recording artists in human history and one of the most culturally influential groups. So this documentary is interesting if you like their music but it does put their personalities on full display. And not all of them were especially nice or mature individuals. It's a good record of the tensions that their style of creating caused within the group and it's a good record of how they eventually came to break up. It's kind of sad to see it end, but in the end they were just a rock band. The documentary concludes with the famous rooftop concert and iconic as it is I can imagine it would have been quite annoying that you are at work and suddenly rock music is blaring at you. So give it a watch if you're a fan of music or the music of The Beatles specifically but if you are neither of those this is not a must see film.
