That is a sensational poster. Makes up for the last one, which I didn’t really like.

  

It always amazaed me that there are only 7 years between both shots. I love how the poster pays tribute the whole history of the band. I really really love this artwork!

While this looks amazing and shows the camaraderie, I do hope they re-release the original movie as well. I enjoy the original because it shows more of the dynamic where everyone was getting sick to death of Paul. This movie could be another of Paul’s attempts to rewrite history. 

Of course, if the movie shows the same footage in a wider context, it could show that the problem was with the original narrative. But I find that hard to believe since they did seem to be divided 3 to 1 against Paul in their business affairs.

  

Peter Jackson as director doesnt rewrite history. And from the original movie and books about the session you could tell that there were many problems with Johns and Georeges attitude too. In fact John and George had a major fallout.

I recommend the Youtube Channel “Pop goes the 60’s”. They guy has analyzed and commented on the actual recording tapes:

The problem of the Beatles wasnt Paul alone. In fact he was the guy who tried to hold them together. It was by all means all of them beeing fed up and tired by the dynamics and routines and of course the fact that they wanted to go in other directions in terms of music, art and creativity. I dont get why there is a need to give all the crap to Paul when its told by the actual lads that it was in fact all 4 of them (maybe Ringo not so much) who contributed to the fallout, George and John as much as Paul. 

Concerning Allen Klein one could say that Paul was right about everything. 

  

@KyleKartan have you read You Never Give Me Your Money ? Just curious.

  

I have not. I don’t know what’s written there and if Paul gets all the blame. For me its clear and apparent from conversations and the sheer fact what happend after the break up that everybody of the 4 lads had their contribution to the break up. Was it John alone? No…it eighter wasnt Paul alone too. It was bunch of things combined from all 4 of them leading to them beeing fed up with each other plus things that came from the outside.

One thing you can be also sure of, the other three couldn’t stand that Paul was right about everything with Klein.

  

  

Thats certain for sure too. Iam postive that they really had a hard time admitting that.

True. I think the differences between the three were smaller than their shared difference with Paul.

The three of them worked together soon after the breakup but no one worked with Paul until 1973 I think.

  

Because in 1973 they came around and saw reason for why Paul acted the way he did with Klein…

The poster looks fabulous. I prefer it to the last one as well. I hope to get a copy and frame it.

  

Would be cool if we’d all could gather in Liverpool or London and watch the whole docu

  

I’d be up for it, but can’t leave the country. I’ll be with you all in spirit though. 

  

Same here. Iam in Germany and will think of you all watching this.

I was already excited for this, but this trailer is just next level

  

I think this John Lennon guy will be my favourite ‘character’ in the movie.

  

He could indeed be a good one.

Another thing, from the trailer, that i don’t get is why are there pictures of the young Beatles? I mean… are we gonna have , as they did with Eight Days A Week , another review of their early days, à la Anthology? I just hope they don’t waste a minute of those glorious six hours in putting people in context.

I think there will be a small amount of context, certainly to the rooftop since it was 2 1/2 (not three, that bugs me) years since their last performance. There is also a lot of memories caught on the tapes which might allow for pictures of the four younger (John singing the opening lines from ‘Help !’ would fit for example). I’m not advocating it, just seeing how it could work. 

If it spends twenty minutes going thru the early years I’d rather a message came on screen saying “for all those who don’t know previous stuff go and watch ‘EDAY”.

Ringo messing about with Heather on the drums is up there in the seriously adorable tier with John and Nicola on the ‘MMT’ bus. I’m sure a little is in the original movie as it looks familiar. 

Do we know how the parts are broken down, is it 1: Twickenham, 2: Apple, 3 Rooftop?

  

That could have been only for the trailer too. Sometimes filmtrailers work with pics and scenes of past stuff to make the circle complete (STAR WARS Episode III teaser, Indy 4 teaser). But I guess there will be a short retrospect to how they did get where they are in the docu. But I hope its a very small segment too, we so much stuff from their early years because of them touring and giving press conferences and so on. I really want this to focus on the Get Back sessions as much as possible.

About the parts: I dont think there was an overview about what part contains what. From what we can see in the trailer though is that Jackson builds up a narrative which seems to end with the big climax: the rooftop.

When you’re at the end your mind goes back to the start. It’s a film making technique for emotion.

  

Correct. Throw some pics and clips in to get the full picture and make a full circle.

If you haven’t seen it what Jackson does in They Shall Not Grow Old with originally silent, 13fps b&w 100 year-old hand cranked footage is both truly amazing and completely sobering, he is a natural choice to resurrect moldering footage and re-frame it for current standards and this trailer shows why.   

  

Totally. The picture quality is just mind blowing. Iam sure the sound will be amazing too!
