The Beatles: Parting Ways

it's an okay documentary, covering the post-Beatles years up to 2009, but not always well-researched. As an example, they say that Ringo had three sons, and gives their names, ending with Lee. Um, Lee is his daughter; he has two sons. It's not a huge deal, but it's something that shows how there are gaps in the research. A quote that they give, supposedly from John, putting down Ringo's drumming, was actually from a comedian, years after John's death. Also something that should have been caught. Google is your friend. More problematic is the way they sweep away the fact that John had quit the Beatles months before Paul's announcement, and Paul had only told the press after it was obvious that John wasn't returning. They lump John's permanent walkout with the short, temporary walkouts of George and Ringo, putting the decision to end the Beatles entirely on Paul. Also, they make it seem like Paul was petty for not trusting Allen Klein, neglecting to mention that Klein was later proven to be cheating the Beatles, and Paul was thanked by the others later for getting them out of their contract with Klein. There's a noticeable anti-Paul bias for the section covering the 1970s. Most of the video clips can be found on YouTube. Still, it's a good price.

It is an accurate depiction of how we(as fans who grew up with them) feel about their influence on society...
