The Beatles seemed to
come out of nowhere in the 1960’s.
This film features interviews with Paul and Ringo plus archival
interviews and footage of their concerts from 1963 to 1966. Beatlemania began to wear on them and
they needed to escape from their fans in order to grow from young boys to men. Some fans turned their backs on them
when their music began to change.
I would’ve liked more
in depth interviews with McCartney and Starr about their history over the
years. How much longer will they
be around to relate their stories?
It is interesting to see the changes in the group over the years. Many of their fans didn’t want them to
change in appearance or their style of writing and singing. Many people can relate to the first
time they listened or saw the Beatles.
They are a part of history.
