An interesting read.

One of the original filmer's of the footage remarked:

"Every time I see the Beatles film I am reshooting it in my head," Maysles says. "I am moving with every single moment. I must say that as I am reshooting it, my choices are not any different, and that is more satisfying than anything else. We were, and I still am, just so intent on getting everything that's going to help, selecting every moment and looking for the next. When the camera has a perceptive eye, there are things it catches that become obviously necessary for the story. Every moment is significant. Every one."

The producer brother of the pair, Maysles, also says:

Al and David Maysles, like friend and co-conspirator D.A. Pennebaker in his 1967 Bob Dylan documentary Dont Look Back, got as close to ascending legends as their own skin; you would never again see John Lennon or Paul McCartney so silly, so at ease, so approachable...and so recognizably human.

Really?!

I wonder why that might be, hmmm

There are hints everywhere. Can you imagine a book laying every single piece of evidence? It would take years to put together and it would be enormous!

On the other hand can you imagine a court case, "exhibit one m'lud", "exhibit thirteen thousand nine hundred" etc
