When a moment in time is so perfect that it can't be recreated or revisited, it must be remembered. That's what Mr Jackson has done with "The Beatles: Get Back".
We're all familiar with the finished product, the songs the Beatles gave us. The songs that I've been listening to for almost 60 years now. What we aren't familiar with was the creative process that John, Paul, George, and Ringo went through to create their art. We remember that they broke up, with acrimony implied. What we never witnessed (until now) was how beautifully they complemented each other. As mere mortals, we could never imagine how four individuals could sync and dovetail, imagine and create, to give the world a taste of heaven.
This documentary isn't about "how the sausage is made". It's about how "Michelangelo sculpted David". Every step is in itself beautiful, enchanting, daring, and oftentimes very humorous. We see energy and creativity in action, the give and take. We also know the end result, and knowing that end result makes the process even more fascinating. I for one assumed that the creation of "Let it Be" would be the most interesting. I never suspected "Get Back" would take that honor.
Mr Jackson presents a wonder-full documentary of four young men creating music that is known to generations. The editing is superb as is the restored footage. All with a soundtrack that is truly beauty-full.
Thank you Mr Jackson.
