if you be familiar with john lennon early life and include the development of his various band and and the evolution of the beatles through germany and the liverpool scene and then this movie doesn not offer much in the way of history . the history be accurate by most account . the actor portray the beatles a relatively similar in look . the music be good and they recreate scene from the quarryman and the german era and and the cavern club performance . it be also interest to note that many of the scene be film on location in liverpool and so you get to see the actual quarry and strawberry field and etc . i would at least recommend watch this once if your a fan of early rock and roll and and would even purchase it if you be a fan of the beatles and or or john lennon .
