Customer Reviews

Fills a niche
This is NOT a well-rounded documentary as claimed, but it fills a niche in the ever-expanding library of Beatles material. It focuses on the "dark" side of the Beatles story, leaving out the joy, generosity and, most of all, the music. But no doubt most of it is true, and it has its place in balancing the bigger picture.

Accompany
I got this CD when I got the book 'Shout' and it is basically the accompanying DVD. Funny thing is that the book did not talk a lot about the music, and neither does this DVD. In fact it seems that they didn't have the rights to the music so you don't hear even one snippet of Beatles music, just people talking, which is nice but not like it should be.

This is valueless
Terrible. If you've ever read ANY book on the Beatles or have done even the slightest research, you'll already know 99.999999%++++ of this. I'm no novice when it comes to the Beatles. I've been a slightly ( :D ) obsessed fan for years. I only reviewed this in the hopes that the film might have been helpful to newer Beatles fans. Nope. It isn't. You KNOW a film is valueless when it starts out talking about the Beatles recreational drug use as if it was a secret. Hopefully you all know, Paul McCartney admitted to taking LSD as early as 1967. This movie was basically a way to release 45+ year old material, pawn it off as new, pad it with a few interviews which contain absoulutely no insight, make some artwork that the company stole from a Google image search, stick a $20 price sticker on it, find some gullible fans and make a profit. If your really a newbie who needs information, make better use of your money and buy some used copies of Mark Lewisohn excellent "The Beatles: Recording Sessions: The Official Abbey Road Studio Session Notes, 1962-1970", or basically, well, anything. Anything has to be better than this. But, this does have a use. Take the paper out from beneath the plastic on the cover, and recycle it. Be eco friendly. Then make a Christmas tree ornament out of the disc, but, be sure to scratch the hell out of it, to spare future generations from this horrible film, and, use the remainder of the cover to put a much better disc in. Yeah, it's a horrible movie.
