I think I got through half or maybe the first 20 to 30 mins (I can't remember) before giving up on it.

You made the right choice.  a-hard-days-night-george-10

They annoy me soo much when they´re not accurate. Mind you, John does have Irish in his family (like most liverpudlians), so I suppose that´s not too bad.

I havent seen the film and have no interest in doing so. I dislike and get annoyed with films that take the truth and spin it into whatever the Director thinks happened and what s/he wants to say.

I totally agree.  I much prefer fact to fiction.

In the early days in Liverpool all Beatles were able to have a laugh with the audience and say a friendly hi in the streets.

Anyway, the film's okay but Lennon's actor just annoys me to no end. He makes John seem like this pissed off, bored with his life type of guy who's rude to his fans( although he is said to have been rude to just about anyone else, he was polite with his fans. At least that's what I've been told), and of course he doesn't look the least bit like John and certainly does not sound like him

Of course there are fanctual inaccuracies, and that rooftop scene may be unrealistically emotional- but I think the actors are just stunning. Its uncanny how good both their impersonations are, but I think Aidan Quinn as McCartney is probably slightly better.

If I was doing a film like that I'd have them running into each others arms and belting out All My Loving together and being best friends again, but I like Two Of Us because its awkward and tense, and there are grudges and wives and memories and unsaid things which come between ...]]> Sat, 29 Dec 2012 09:03:48 +0000 goodbyehello on Two Of Us http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/beatles-films-television-radio/two-of-us/#p58698 Beatles films, television and radio http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/beatles-films-television-radio/two-of-us/#p58698 I thought so too, but his accent and mannerism was a little off- but interestingly enough by the end of the movie he started looking a little more like Lennon to me.  Not the kind of reaction I had to the kid who played Paul in "Nowhere Boy"-lol!  I just couldn't get into him as Paul at all! a-hard-days-night-paul-7 Aidan Quinn was alright as Paul, imo.

It was a fun little movie, I would watch it again!

"MAD MEN"!) would do a better job than Aidan Quinn (an American after all, unlike Harris.)

I don´t really go for these type of films where there are actors imitating Paul or John or whatever. I´ll check it out though.

It basically paints a picture of what could have happened if McCartney and Lennon got back together and reconciled(which I believe they did, according to both of them- remember the famed SNL incident where they almost went down to the studios to take Lorne Michaels up on his offer for $3000 for a Beatles reunion?) ...]]> Sun, 30 Sep 2012 19:13:34 +0100
