Only those who ignored almost everything about the Beatles can write "you never knew their complete story until now", otherwise Jackson proposes to us for 468 minutes very little that was not already known to scholars and music lovers. If "Let It Be" is the twelfth and last studio album of the Fab Four, there will be a reason: it is the worst record of a band now in disarray, which will also have been able to find the alchemy to compose, arrange and produce in the first 3 or 4 weeks of '69 a mountain of tracks, but those that ended up in the album are barely 12 and show an undermined capacity for songwriting. During the London concert from the rooftop of their Apple Corps headquarters in Savile Row, a passerby admits that he adores the Beatles, but not those who were playing, what they had become. So it must be recognized that the director could have synthesized their sunset and the sunset of an era of rock in the standard time of a film, otherwise this TV miniseries is dripping with details useful just for fan(atic)s. Jackson deserves credit for trying to handle such an overwhelming material and teaching newbies something. However, leaving out the reasons for the dissolution, despite having almost 5 hours to explain the title of the disco, he preferred to omit such an essential information and choose for his work the misleading title of another song, energetic, amused and funny, while the tone that McCartney expresses with "Let It Be" is crepuscular, that of the full awareness of having reached the end of the line, separated at home/studio and ready for the inevitable divorce. And in fact, at every pause of the recordings, the 4 compete to already plan their future as soloists, like Lennon who tries "Child of Nature", the future "Jealous Guy", in general indifference. With time the group's positive superadditivity had turned into negative, it is sufficient to look at the album cover with them 4 well divided and separated. Does anyone remember the similar bitter conclusion of The Police with "Synchronicity" in 1983? Historical revisionism, cunning attempt, shrewd operation for affecting as little as possible the persistent idolatrous Beatlemania? There is something out of tune, a lot.… Expand
