Movie Reviews of Two of Us
Movie Review: An Interesting "What-If" Movie!!---Spectres Of What Might've Been??
Summary: 5 Stars
I think Aidan Quinn (Paul McCartney), who I've appreciated in many different roles
down through the years, and Jared Harris (looks and acts like Lennon so much that
it's spooky at times!), did a wonderful job in this "what-if" movie that's supposedly
based on an actual impromptu meeting between ex-Beatles / musical partners / friends
Paul McCartney and John Lennon in NYC in 1976.
In this movie, the Beatles have been broken up since 1970, and it wasn't
a nice clean break either!---Many hurt feelings and bruised egos.
After not speaking for six years and throwing barbs at each other in
interviews (well, John at least!), Paul, who is at the peak of his WINGS period,
is in NYC for 4 sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden when he decides to pay his
old friend / nemesis John Lennon at visit at The Dakota.
John has been basically out of the music game (with exceptions) since
the early 70's, and has moved to New York with Yoko Ono and they have a
small child together..Sean Lennon, who John is more than happy to dote on and
be the father and husband that he could never be back in his youth when oldest son
Julian was born and his first wife, Cynthia were together.
He basically likes hanging out and living the life that he wants to live,
free of being controlled by the madness of Beatlemania in the 60's, and he and Yoko's
protest period in the early 70's. He could give two hoots about the record business
at this point, and works only when he wants to.
Paul, on the other hand, loves being who he is and making music, which John chides
every chance he gets as "Silly Love Songs" and "Nursery Rhymes", much to Paul's chagrin.
These two start off cautious and cool towards each other....Paul more warm than John.
Slowly the ice begins to melt as they reminisce and re-connect.
They laugh and joke and play music and sing songs one minute, then are
in heated verbal fights the next, running the gamut of emotions you might
(ehh-hem!) imagine (forgive the pun!) them to feel after seeing each other for
the first time in six years. (-:
They even go out on the town incognito, dressed in ridiculous derby hats and moustaches.
John, ever caustic and sardonic, really reams out a fan or two who recognize the two
in a restuarant and come over with Beatles-talk and making ridiculous demands.
The scene is hilarious, and seems like something that John may have actually done.
Overall, this is a great little flight of creative fancy which gives us an glimpse
of what might have really happened in this alleged and fateful reunion.
I found it to be engrossing, humorous in places, and very charming.
If you're into The Beatles, Paul McCartney and John Lennon, you'll love this!
