72 | ma nova verzija filma. „To je kao vremeplov koji nas prevozi do 1969. godine. Sedimo u studiju i gledamo kako ova četvorica prijatelja zajedno prave odličnu muziku“, izjavio je režiser. Snimci grupe koja stvara album prvobitno su snimljene za televizijski dokumentarac, ali je projekt evoluirao u dugometražni film koji je nakratko prikazan u bioskopima pre nego što je nestao i postao redak kolekcionarski snimak na VHS-u. „Posle pregledanja svih snimaka koje je Majkl Lindsi Hog napravio 18 meseci pre nego što su se razišli, to je jednostavno neverovatna istorijska riznica“, primetio je oskarovac Piter Džekson i najavio da će film biti smešan, uzbudljiv i iznenađujuće intiman. Biće to film kom se već sada raduju svi koji su ikada voleli Bitlse, i to iz mnogo razloga. Pre svega, taj projekat je bio izgubljen, nikada nije bio dostupan ni u jednoj tehnologiji nastaloj posle VHS-a. Nećete ga naći ni na DVD-u niti na Netfliksu, kao da su ga preživeli članovi benda pustili da izbledi i prepustili ga zaboravu. Nije ni čudo, jer je svedočanstvo o njihovim najgorim danima, sadrži svađe Harisona i Makartnija, koji je snimanje nazvao paklenim i najnesrećnijim na svetu. Naravno, to se sve nije našlo u originalnoj verziji, pa će biti uzbudljivo gledati njihove prave odnose. Osim ako Makartni ne nagovori Džeksona da to ipak ne prikaže i da se koncentriše na izvođenje forenzičke studije o procesu muzičkog stvaranja. I jedno i drugo biće fascinantno, zar ne? Osim toga, još nismo videli pola koncerta na krovu! Poslednja svirka Bitlsa jedna je od najlegendarnijih izvedbi uživo ikad, ali je od 42 minuta originalni film sadržao tek 21. Džeksonov film morao bi da obuhvati svaki sekund snimka, od kada zakorače na krov do trenutka kad ih policija sa njega skida silom! Legendarno. Kao da sve to već nije dovoljno da jedva čekamo novi Let it be, postoji mogućnost da u filmu čujemo Lenona kako peva I Lost My Little Girl , prvu pesmu koju je Makartni ikada napisao, kada mu je bilo samo 14. Još jedan do sada izgubljeni snimak. Ima li boljeg načina da proslavimo 50. godišnjicu? Neka bude! greatest bands of all time. It was recorded at London’s TwickenhamFilmStudio in January 1969 as part of a documentary on The Beatles. Legend has it that it was cold in the studio due to poor heating, but also frosty relationships. The song found itself, in a slightly modi ed version, on their 12th studio album of the same name. The album was supposed to convey a completely di erent message from the outset. The idea was for it to be called‘Get Back’andrecordedliveinfrontofatelevision audience. It was supposed to beThe Beatles returning to their roots andperforming raw, livemusic insteadof tormentingthemselves in a studio as they’d done when recording theWhiteAlbum. Soon, though, it was clear that nothingwouldcomeof that, and George Harrison abandoned lming. When he returned, they’d given up on live gigs and decided to use the TV recording as their last lm.

The lm material is rich with the passionate creative enthusiasm of the musicians and spontaneous jokes during hours of creating and socialising, but even theeditingcouldn’t conceal their deeper divisions.Thestory,whichwas directedbyMichael Lindsay-Hogg, also includes their famous concert on the rooftop of the Apple Studio in London on 30th January 1969. It is inscribed as one of the best ever rock‘n’ roll moments, and remains remembered as the last joint performance of The Beatles, which was interrupted by the police after 42 minutes. The initial idea was for the lm to be broadcast as aTVdocumentarywithwhich theywouldannouncea campaign for their concerts. After the members snapped the last clapperboard on the group, instead of a promotional lm about upcoming performances, the lm remained as a record of their nal creative period.
