Get Back and Let it Be: Peter Jackson Reveals How He Convinced Beatles Paul and Ringo To Let Him Make 'Get Back'

 

Peter Jackson reveals how Paul blanched with worry that the footage from the vault (1969-70) would show the Beatles in a bad light, bickering and nasty to each other. That’s because of the bad experience of their “Let it Be” film and album and that they were in the process of breaking up. In fact they were rather lovely at the time. They got along. I agree. Amid the cigarette smoke and the occasional fall outs.

It’s great achievement. This movie by Jackson. Really great. And they, the Beatles were truly great. Paul was really the driving force. John laid back. Ringo does his job. George tries to please Paul. Yoko sits ams does nothing. In the end they, the Beatles, pleased us all. 

You see the chaos of creativity.

It’s on Disney Plus and worth the price of admission just for this.
