Let It Be Trailer
This time, in my Beatles class, we watched the 1970 documentary which featured the last time the legendary iconic band The Beatles ever performed together live before any sort of audience- the rooftop concert. This documentary, errrr rockumentary features rehearsal footage of the band while they are preparing to record the songs for their final album "Let It Be." This documentary is especially unique and important because the band rarely, if ever allowed anyone (besides those who absolutely had to be there) to be in the room with them while they were recording, let alone a camera crew and a slew of other people. It was interesting to see them working through the various songs, especially knowing that these moments were some of their last together as a band. It was also fascinating to see the shots of Yoko in the background and her effect on the functions and life of the band. Yes, she may have been in the background, but he presence was certainly known. It was great to see the band so genuinely happy and seeming to be playing for no one but themselves. On top of it all they won an Academy Award for best original score!
