Offline Watched this earlier today.
I can understand why Paul thinks he looks bad, but I thought it would be a lot worse than it actually is (or at least appears to me). He does come across as being quite commanding and a bit bossy, but if you have any idea about the Beatles and their split at all (which you probably do if you’re watching this in the first place), then I think you will understand why. Dunno why, after all this time, he’s still so hung up about it and dead set against its release.
The ending more than makes up for the rest of it anyway.

I remember introducing it to Miss Best Friend, one minute she’s jumpy and dancing to it all insane-o, then the next minute, collapsed on the floor wailing “beatles is over”.
I think I love the film for many reasons.

And of course I literally have to leave the room because i keep making gaping “AWWWWWW” noises when I Me Mine is being played and John and Yoko are waltzing to it. Typical me.

Yeah. Another trip to Sardinia, perhaps?
Seriously though, he does look exhausted. They all do, actually.

Offline I thought Ringo looked bored senseless, fed up, and needed and wanted to be anywhere else. Didn’t look anywhere near as bored and fed-up anywhere else except the ’66 Budokan concerts.

Offline I think all of them except Paul look like they are over the whole Beatle thing – which makes the rooftop show and their enthusiasm there even more telling – maybe Paul was right and a tour would have energized them. The whole thing also makes Abbey Road even more amazing considering it all came after this.
I used to blame Paul for a large part of the breakup, nowadays it seems to me that he was only trying to keep them working, but maybe his way of going about it just didn’t work in the situation.
Still, we have a Rutles blu ray on the way so I’m still hoping to see Let it Be on disc within a year or so.

Bottom line: the group became too restrictive an outlet for 3 very talented, very diverse and very headstrong creative forces. John’s and George’s shifting in personalities didn’t help, either (coincidentally, both also grew weary of the music industry during their solo years). Then there was George’s increasing resentment over John and Paul still largely dismissing most of his songs, despite the fact that he had now nearly caught up with them. Paul had good intentions in his ‘cheerleading,’ but he didn’t really go about it in the best way.
Also, I still can’t figure out why the group had to personally accommodate the film crew’s working hours instead of the other way around. Union rules or what? I’m sure this added to the tension and general lethargy as well. Anyway, these are what seem to be the guys’ mindsets throughout the film:
John: “Yoko, Yoko, Yoko.”
Paul: “Come on, guys. Let’s play like we used to… except, play like this.” [does demonstration] 
George: “I’m a songwriter, too, you glory-hogging b******s.” 
Ringo: “Whatever.”

Offline ^ spot on. Maybe adding a bit for John being drug-addled for much of the time as well.

Actually, if you’ve never seen it at all, the whole thing was viewable on youtube as recently as (I think) May…although it was flipped sideways to make it pretty hard to watch.
Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Offline Fortunately, I got to see this on YouTube BEFORE it was being turned on its side… though it was broken into 9 segments. It might’ve been more interesting if everyone involved was genuinely interested in the project. As it is, it’s the weakest of their 5 films.
