Movie Reviews of Beatles: From Liverpool to San Francisco
Movie Review: Love It! Very Interesting!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is wonderful.Filled with footage of interviews,press conferences, etc.Some of them pretty rare.Some are included in Anthology but they were edited down.Here they are shown more complete ,maybe even in thier entirety.The video is excellent.Great preservation job.The only disappoinment is,and others have said this,that there is no Beatles music or concert footage.Guess they had problems with getting permission.Instead you hear this generic,psuedo-rock,muzak throughout.The footage makes up for that however.An interesting addition is the Feb.1964 Heathrow Airport press conference when the boys returned from America.Unlike Anthology, here is shown a much longer,uncut version.Not very good for Paul because he seems to either fart or burp(you can't tell which)while answering a question.Very surprising and funny.The best part that stands out in my mind,is a very long expose' on the Jesus controversy.A British reporter is seen in America interviewing southern,teenagers in a record store.One can't decide whether she likes the group anymore because she's just so hurt by what they said,and another can't wait to start burning all of his Beatle records.Strange and riveting stuff. He goes on to interview the record shop owner then the DJ who started the controversy.During the interview the DJ says three times that he doesn't know if "they" (The Beatles)are black or white.So I guess in addition to being an incredibly cranky,creep of a stuffed shirt,he is also... NEAR SIGHTED.The British reporter finishes his expose' with a lengthy interview in what looks like a bathroom of all places,with the Beatles.John and Paul dominate with their views.It's interesting to note the change in the boys from 1964 to 1966.The biggest change is in Paul.In 1964 he is very much a young boy excited by fame,giddy almost,and charmingly unsophisticated.By 1966,he has turned into a serious,somewhat jaded,seasoned celebrity.Actually they all undergo this change but it's very obvious in Paul.This video actually covers their entire career from 1963 to 1970 with a voice over telling the story.Having been a fan for 37 years,I mentally blocked out the voice over but even if you know nothing about the fabs,you probably don't need it.You should just read the Anthology and buy the accompanying DVD boxed set and you're good to go.Then buy this DVD.
