Get Back movie
December 21, 2020 by Michael A. Ventrella
The Beatles "Get Back" film looks great!
There were over 50 hours of film recorded during the making of the "Let it Be" album, and the film LET IT BE tended to pick the parts that showed the band arguing instead of having fun with their music. Paul has repeatedly said that the film did not properly represent the group dynamics at the time, and, as someone who has been in a bunch of bands, let me tell you that there are always arguments. That's just part of the process.
It doesn't mean we don't like our fellow band members or that we're about to break up. I mean, I sometimes argue with my wife and I love her — of course I'm going to argue with my fellow band members.
They weren't about to break up at that time. After all, after this was done, they worked together to create what I consider to be their greatest (and last) album ABBEY ROAD. Even then, there are recordings from that session where they were discussing what would be their next album after that!
So anyway, Peter Jackson is now recutting a new film from the old footage and he is making sure to show the fun part of making music as well as the arguments that go into arranging a song and deciding who plays what when and so on.
I'm enthusiastically looking forward to this, because as much as I am a Beatles fan, LET IT BE has never been the kind of film I want to watch over and over again. Maybe this one will be.
