[QUOTE="Seaviewer, post: 241677, member: 57"] Let It Be (1970) Ironically, the Beatles ended up making a third film after all when it was decided to give a theatrical release to what had originally been planned as a TV documentary to be called [I]The Beatles Get Back[/I]. It has been said that [I]Let It Be[/I] documents the group's disintegration but that was not apparent to me when I first saw it. Even the much-remarked confrontation when George says that he will play whatever Paul wants, or not at all if that's what he wants, I initially took to be a joke. In my opinion it's only hindsight that casts a pall on proceedings. My main criticism would be the close-ups on the backs of people's heads and other strange camera placements rather than focusing on who is speaking or singing. Perhaps it was considered 'arty'. Reportedly, Peter Jackson has been given access to the hundreds of hours of unused footage and is planning a new take on the project. It will be interesting to see what (if any) fresh perspectives (literally and figuratively) may emerge. [/QUOTE]
