Filmmaker Peter Jackson has just taken a quick look at the documentary The Beatles Get Back. The video opens with Jackson telling the audience that 56 hours of previously unseen footage is the main source for the documentary.
Jackson clarifies that this is not a trailer or series from the film but a montage that reflects the spirit of the film. The film is based on the “Get Back” audio from the last Beatles album.
For years, the break-up of the band was devastating for the Beatles. But this documentary paints a different picture that reveals that the Fab Four finally had fun making their music and even Lennon and McCartney loved each other’s company. George seems to be having a good time here too.
In the YouTube description, Peter Jackson says, “We wanted to give Beatles fans around the world a holiday opportunity, so we put together this five-minute short photo at the time. our theater film ‘The Beatles: Get Back. ‘We hope it will bring a smile to everyone’s face and much-needed happiness at this difficult time. “
In an earlier interview with AP, Jackson had said that there are “drama moments” but “none of the chaos” to which Let it Be has been associated all those years. It was previously reported that the documentary will also feature the famous concert at the roof of the house, and this was the last time the Beatles played together in public.
The film used by Peter Jackson was previously used by director Michael Lindsay-Hogg for the documentary Let it Be which was released shortly after the band’s breakup and has been seen recently long as a saga of separation.
Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, widows of John Lennon and George Harrison, have teamed up with Peter Jackson for this documentary. In an interview with Radio X in Canada, McCartney said, “I know people have been looking at the (unpublished) pictures. And someone was talking to me the other day and he said, ‘The overall feeling is very happy and very engaging. It’s like a group of guys making music and enjoying it. ‘”
The Beatles will release Get Back in August 2021.
