Get Back turns a filmmaker loose in one of music’s most illustrious vaults and peers into a period that sometimes gets overlooked. Photo: Courtesy of Apple Corps Ltd. The story of the Beatles stretches out across a vast range of human experiences, touching on spirituality, politics, friendship, drugs, arrests, marriages, breakups, and even murder.
Really, Get Back is a show about process and compromise, and the mercurial nature of creativity and the value of an edifying work-life balance. Sometimes — often — great work takes time, and inspiration won’t show face until the distractions in your periphery are sufficiently quieted. There is just no predicting what will happen when you sit down to create, no telling what you’re in for. Watching the Beatles work is very illuminating.
As fun as it is to watch the Beatles and their wives and friends catch up after the 1968 holiday and repair their frayed bonds as friends and musical collaborators, it’s just as much of a blast seeing them interact with current events. The spontaneous “Commonwealth” jam that springs forth from an article detailing the anti-immigrant stances of longtime British Parliament conservative Enoch Powell is a delight, as is Lennon’s admiration of the poetic timing of Martin Luther King Jr.
