Finished ep 3 of Behind the Scenes of “Let It Be”. This doc could have used an editor. I agree w/KB that some other tack, like following the evolution of each song, might have been a more interesting than the chronological format. The calendar constantly turned up the tension, but they could have tried to better underscore when milestones were achieved (like they actually got a successful take / the one we know and love, or someone proposed the rooftop finally!).
Also, the subtitling was inconsistent. I would have preferred it on for all the dialog, and if there were multiple people talking, to anchor each’s subtitles to a different part of the screen.
Other thoughts:
John is a crackup.
Ringo never looks like he’s working hard.
Michael Higgs-Boson or whatever his name is seems like a jerk.
The Bobbies were so patient.
Brits (on the street) are funny.
I want toast with marmalade.
Question: who owns the rights to the songs these days? Did they have to pay to license them?
