Well, I just got done watching Anthology over the last few days.
It's fun, but for me, Paul's attitude ruins a lot of it. It probably isn't intentional of him, but I really dislike the way he always has to take credit for absolutely everything he did. Like if they are talking about one tiny part in a song, he just
has to say, "oh, that was one of my ideas." They could be talking about anything and he just comes out with how he came up with a certain idea...
I mean, obviously, the Beatles are excellent along with everything they have done but does he really need to go on about how much he contributed so much? Does he really have to prove himself to anyone? He reminds me of George Martin!
George or Ringo don't do that, they just remember it all with fond memories which I like.
Also, I don't like that he says that during the recording of Real Love, he felt like he was acting as a sideman to John because the song was complete. The guy is dead! Do you think that stems from when John said that Ringo, George and himself were acting as sidemen to Paul during the end of the Beatles' career?
Besides that, I think it's excellent. I think they incorporated John into the thing very well. It would've been nice if they included interviews with certain Beatles 'people' (Linda McCartney, Yoko Ono, Julian Lennon, Sean Lennon, Cynthia Lennon, so on...) but then again, the point of Anthology was the Beatles' story as told by the Beatles, so nevermind
.
So what are your thoughts guys? What did you like and dislike?
PS - the Real Love video really is great.
