Perhaps not. But, my opinion is based on a different recollection of
those days. I acquired a bootleg recording of the "Get Back" recording sessions before the album was released, and the process and dialogue
within the group was often unpleasant. It wasn't long after that the
Beatles' breakup began. So, the positive spin that the ads for the movie present strike me as more of a "Paul promotion" than a documentary.

Well, I´d like to watch it, but unfortunately it´s a "Disney+" pay-tv exclusive here and I don´t have access to that. The cinema version seems
to be cancelled.
Well, maybe some day it might become available through other sources,
that are easier accessible...
Anyway, good to know, it´s worth watching.

Yeah, and it wasn't long after hat that they made Abbey Road.
And put more credence in the apparent agenda of the Lindsay-Hogg 'Let It
Be' and the maybe similarly edited bootleg. Or did you get the full
60-odd hours of the session recordings, in order to make such a judgement ?
I take it that you haven't seen it then....

Geoff, I don't know how old you are, or what you were doing back in
those days. I was really there as a rock studio musician even before the Beatles were marketed in the US.
And no, the various bootleg albums from various artists were not a
complete collection of all their recordings. But, they also weren't
heavily edited compilations that connected unrelated events to each
other. Perhaps you should look into how "Abbey Road" and the roof-top
session came to be? There is no need to be snarky about history. It is
what it is.

You want to see how the roof-top gig came to be - watch the docos - that
is one of the significant themes of the whole thing.
Heavily edited, for sure - 60+ hours down to 7 or so how could it not
be. But with an agenda showing more of the overall situation, rather
than the rather negative compilation of the Let It Be movie.
Not being snarky - the doco (movie, if you prefer) would likely be of interest to most here if they are interested in recording, production, song-writing, musicianship, etc of an album (and band) that holds significance to this day.

Was in my early teens when the Beatles had their first hits.
In Australia the first was " Love Me Do".
Everyone liked their songs and their look, it was a phenomenon.
But things changed pretty quick.
I had a copy of "Hey Jude/ Revolution" in the late 60s.
My mom absolutely hated it.
She thought the Beatles were promoting *revolution* and "Jude" was short for " Judy " - code name for a bad girl.
Was decades later before I knew Jude referred to Julian Lennon.
In any case, musicians hear and pass judgment on recordings very differently to non musicians.
But this don't make them right or the majority wrong.
Music is created for the *public* to enjoy - not insiders.
Geoff likes to think he is a blessed insider.
But in truth, he is just another clueless wanker from New Zealand.
To be clear, none of my comments are about the Beatles' music. They
wrote *many* songs that will be loved by generations who have little to
no clue who they were. That is talent!

Don‘t place Albania in this row. More dynamic and friendly and much less backward than perceived by many.
Anyway, Disney+ is available in 53 of 195 countries only. So still enough sh..hole areas to apply one‘s uneducated prejudices on.
