1970. Depressing as hell. It was clear the group was dead and not coming back.

Last year. I downloaded it from Kazaa, watched the first ten minutes, and then deleted it. I dunno, it was just too depressing. I was afraid it would spoil my image of the band.

I eventually downloaded it again and watched it all through. It was just as depressing as I had first though, though it didn't harm my image of the band too much - I've never been too fond of the LIB period anyway.

It isn't just that the documentary's about something so sad as the breakup, but it's so poorly made as well. No real grasp of things or anything. And to top it all, the version I watched had out-of-synch sound

It has it's few moments, but I don't plan to buy it for meself anytime soon...

Just a few months ago! I loved it. I didn't find it depressing. I loved John and Paul messing around singing Two of Us and taking about the their trip to India. The arguing parts were funny. It's interesting to see them act like normal human beings. Anyone who's together that much bickers. I don't think that's what led to the break up. The whole rooftop concert was cool, and the jamming stuff with Billy Preston was fun to watch. They did do a whole other album after this, so it wasn't the real end. Anyway, I just wasn't depressed by it. What depresses me is the last two videos in the Anthology series. They all start talking about how it fell apart and so on. It's hard to watch.

I want to $#%$%$ kill my computer. I had it on for well over six hours downloading the Let It Be film. Then, when it gets within a half hour of finishing, my computer gets the blue screen of death. I come back to KazaA and the file is nowhere to be found.....and a search on my computer doesn't have it turn up either.....I'm not sure which I hate more, Kazaa's messed up ways and how it has often deleted nearly finished files, or the fact that my computer just doesn't want to work.....ticks me off.

EDIT: Just watched the film a few hours ago......not really sure what to make of it....just lots of sloppy demoish stuff....and then we get the glorious rooftop performance...nothing all that great, I actually liked Help! better....

2003 in january
I was too curious to stop the video... I think it is a kind of depressing but I love the rooftop concert at the end. I've Got A Feeling rocks more than if you just here it if you see the Beatles on TV!

I saw it 2004. I thought it was awesome, I use to watch it almost everyday. I too didn't find it depressing at all, I really don't know why people say its so depressing to watch. I think people take it too seriously when they watch it. How about just watching the movie to watch it and enjoy it instead of thinking of how depressing it is when its not lol.

Never seen it.

That's exactly my own thought: people know too much about the thing that were going on by then and that doesn't allow them to watch the film (or listen to the LP) as they really are ... they're not as sad and depressing as most people like to say ... this is another (wrong) myth, in my opinion ...

... even the guys used to say a lot of rubbish about the sessions but I think that they're only remembering the bad part (that surely existed) and forgeting the good moments (that, of course, existed too) ... there were smiles and laughs and good and great music too ... but the place (Twickhenham, -'cos at The Apple Studios, and with Billy, they enjoyed the sessions once again-) and the month (January) certainly didn't help them ... in other conditions they would have look at the sessions in a different way ... as they really were?

I saw in the seventies. The BBC used to show THE BEATLE films every boxing day morning in order .The last time it was shown must have been 1979 .I was given a video tape of it ,long before i had a video ,and ive still got it. Ive now transfered it on dvd re-write .
Still a brilliant film to this day.

A few years ago ... I was not impressed at all, I admit! :-/
