MeloManiac Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I'm currently watching episode one, and all the time, I was stunned in a positive way. Then I started asking myself, what on earth is Yoko Ono doing there all the time... She's knitting, sewing, reading the newspaper, taking notes, never speaking at all... No expression on her face. Not communicating with anyone, not even to John. But then, one day, she's was absent. And in her absence, a discussion arose between George and Paul, which never seemed to end... Then she got back, and they started making music again... Women! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 She speaks and “sings” in episode 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wish there will be a Blu Ra release of this as well as a release of “Let It Be” which is a more accurate story of this dark time in BEATles history.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Watching the first episode right now. Really cool seeing some of their hits being born. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, she 'sings' at the very end of episode 1 and the result is that George walks out and 'leaves the Beatles'... Of course, I suspect Peter Jackson is editing it like that on purpose...

You can get the gist of it by watching The BEATles Anthology and listening to CDII of Let It Be Naked.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I enjoyed watching their fashion, I mean clothes, and the now retro gear, that was then state of the art. The sections in which they discussed and read the tabloids was an eye-opener too. And Billy Preston... What a great guy and talent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Billy Preston... What a great guy and talent! Yeah it had bright segments. Some nice editing could have made it less boring and still told the story. Could have really been good for two, maybe three hours.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Noises Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Like others have pointed out, this doc is too long. I got an hour into it and asked my wife if anything was going to happen, or are we going to be watching the Beatles smoke, drink, and tune their guitars for 8 more hours. I watched it on recommendation from a musician friend of mine who raved about it. I appreciate the Beatles and their music, and the impact they had on music, but I guess I just don’t need to watch how the sausage is made. For people like me, a much condensed version would have been great. I thought it was neat seeing the actual footage of the way everyone interacted, but my attention span ran out of steam a little early on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 No it wasn't too long. It is amazing. People like to blame Yoko but even according to Ringo George and Paul The Beatles were having issues before she showed up. Yoko was just a strong women John needed. The most touching part of their relationship was when John got shot and George and Paul showed up to help Yoko. Those are true friends and family. I'm of the opinion The Beatles were underated. I have studied The Beatle throughout my life. They are the epitomy of a band as seperatley they were good but together they were unstopable. I'd like to see a fwe more of these studying each phase of their development. The most interesting would be their time in Germany where they became The Beatles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
