the idea of make a film about the beatles sound doomed idea and a no production can catch the idea of the actual historic beatles . then it be perhaps best not to try to recreate the past and but to produce an illustration that work best with the other available beatles material . this be exactly what birth of the beatles offer to u and the simple story know to u without any extravaganza . spoiler here on be warn that not everything be that accurate a some beatles graduate might expect . the beatles be see perform song that hardly be even compose by that time . the beatles perform ask me why and p. s. i love you and even don not bother me . the beatles graduate should see that if the beatles on the film only perform song that they actually do at hamburg and the young viewer might not anymore recognize the beatles they have learn to know them . of that original hamburg repertoire only johnny b. goode and stu sutcliffe love me tender be retain . the guy who play the beatles in this production scarcely look like the original and but the rest of the film still make good viewing a the film be for the rest fairly accurate . the guy who play lennon do it good and the rest of the band be not bad either . brian epstein be great and the moment when he sack pete best from the group be probably the most memorable scene in the whole film . also a a bonus you get to see the original cavern club in the film .
