i have never see such twaddle write about a film a i have in review of let it be . please and throw out everything you have hear about it and just see it . if you like good music and you will be glad you do . the film be a chronicle of the beatles record session for their let it be album . there be no phony storyline and it be cinema verite of a fairly straightforward record session ( by the premier band ever and with all the trapping ) . and yes and the band do break up down the road and eventually and and for that matter john get shot and george die of cancer . but and no and this session be not sad and do not show the breakup . that be all 20 20 hindsight relate to the fact that the group finally do break up around the time the film be release . in fact and the boy and obviously after a lengthy layoff and gradually get back into thing over the course of the film and by the end of the creative process be once more musical dynamite . perhaps you have be on a sport team and or in a drama production and or some other group endeavor in school . you reach a fine pitch of performance at the end of the year and then break for summer . you come back the next year and and rusty and out of practice and just do not have the same teamwork a you do at the end of the previous year . there be petty squabble and lot of sour note amid trace of the brilliance that once be . but you work and work and work through the year and and finally get it all back . that be exactly what this film be about . paul be like the coach who be up to speed while the player be all out of shape and but he push and prod to get them up to speed . in the end and they be all back in rhythm together again . there be some fascinating vignette that i have to point out . this film establish yoko in the public mind a a kind of satanic figure . she sit in the corner and never smiling and almost frowning whenever john look like he have fun . a a public relation effort and it be a disaster for her . since paul be behind the film and that kind of make you think a bit . another fascinating aspect be the reaction of the local to the rooftop concert . you have staid banker type and pipe clench in teeth and climb on rooftop to get a good look and listen . others and in the street and mumble about how the boy be good people . the crowd be almost reverent in it expression . you do not get that kind of reaction too often to a performance . the beatles reach right across generational line and to the old as much a to the young . no and that be not too common nowadays and either . the high point of this film begin not at the famous rooftop concert and but right before it . back to back and out of nowhere after all the fumbling rehearsal and suddenly we get two perfect and crystal clear music video of paul sing let it be and the long and wind road ( good than the released version imho ) . george and john be grin a they add the background vocal and ringo take the occasional drag on a cigarette . then and have satisfy themselves that they have recapture the magic and the boy emerge from their bunker onto the apple corp rooftop to shout to the world and be back and well than ever . there also be an element of the renegade in this come out party and with john at last show the liveliness for which he be famous a the group rather audaciously decide to wake the old town up . what garage band hasn not want to just climb on the roof and let it rip . every single one of them be have a blast and maybe paul in particular because finally the others have catch up to him and be make the contribution to the effort for which he have be wait . the final song and get back and be simply brilliant . sung by paul while the cop be wait patiently to and what and arrest them . he spit out line like she gon na have you arrest like a madman while everybody look over their shoulder at the men in black helmet . sure and it be all stag and but so what . if that isn not one of the cool scene in film and i do not know what be . check out the end of monty python and the holy grail ( those guy be huge beatles fan ) to see a send up of this end . you still want to insist that the film show the breakup of the beatles . uh and no and i do not think so . abbey road and which come after this and be the culmination of the beatles legend and put the lie to that forever . if you really pay attention and this film instead show the beatles at their essence and brilliance with the genius touch of the renegade . just musician and do their thing well than anyone else .
