I put on the latest Beatles documentary just to pass some time today. As a documentary itself, it functions just fine. If you have absolutely no knowledge on Beatlemania or anything of the like I can see someone getting something out of it but other than that it's fairly standard. However, what I think really works is just seeing the boys do what they do best: banter and goof around. Their wit was what charmed a lot of people in the first place. I also appreciated the conversations about the teenage girls and how they shape music industries as well as The Beatle's clear admiration for African American musicians. I never heard the Miracle's cover of Yesterday before watching this and I was absolutely mesmerized. That cover and Fiona Apple's Across the Universe sit comfortably as some of my favorite Beatles covers.
What do you guys think?
