you never knew the full story until now

Warning: Spoilers
The 1970 documentary has been known as the story of the Beatles' breakup. As it turns out, that documentary skewed things. Peter Jackson's new documentary "The Beatles: Get Back" incorporates approximately eight hours of footage from the making of the album and shows a completely unknown story behind it. For example, Yoko often gets blamed for breaking up the band, but all the members brought people (Paul brought Linda, Ringo brought Maureen, and George brought Hare Krishnas); at times, Paul could be irksome, often interrupting the other members. What was particularly neat was to see the guys writing songs on the fly.

It's an experience like no other, especially the performance on the roof. It must've been one of the greatest things of all time to witness that performance. I also didn't know that the guys had used the recording sessions to come up with songs that they later released solo.

Anyway, it's a documentary that you gotta see. You won't be disappointed.
