“The Fab Four,” “The Mop Tops.” Then, we saw how “the lads” slowly changed from their earliest successes to their greatest triumphs to the end of the group.
After they broke up, John at first worked the hardest to destroy the Beatles mythology. Paul, of all of them, has worked the hardest to cherish, burnish, preserve, and promote their legacy. George seemed to have had the least interest in being an ex-Beatle and Ringo, by the 1970s had a successful career as a recording artist and actor, then, in his touring life, has become the cheerful ambassador of “Peace and Love.”
Regardless of all they accomplished, they never could fully be themselves; they were always seen as ex-Beatles. Sometimes, that frustrated them. Mostly, they learned to live with it. Paul eventually embraced it. John was murdered by a deranged fan. George was assaulted as he slept.
The Final Project
During their time together, the Beatles were the subject of two Cinema Verite documentaries, The Beatles 1st Visit and Let It Be. They made two narrative features, A Hard Days Night and Help. Their self-directed project, Magical Mystery Tour & the animated Yellow Submarine were released while they were still together.
We’ve seen the Beatles live on television, in promotional films, in press conferences, in interviews. Numerous documentaries.
The Beatles Anthology, broadcast in late 1995, was a look back at that time through the Beatles perspective.
Get Back offered an intense view of one month in their lives, very different from what we saw in Let It Be. You’ve heard from Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who directed all of the footage in both projects as well as the interviews with Paul and Ringo when it came out.
