Can you make an update video version of this topic?

"And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you made"

It might be structured like the UK tv series Skins where each member of the gang got at least one episode for themselves while the others played supporting members in those episodes while simultaneously pushing the main narrative for the whole group along in each episode

The Beatles weren't a band, they were a miracle.

9:03 every time I watch it I look for that old man, he looks so mad through the whole thing.

Love this channel! And this is only the second or third video I have seen. Thank you for your art of storytelling.

The idea of these films are pretty cool tho l think people keep forgetting that the films are not going to be split into eras but covering the same events but in different POV of each Beatle, which is probably the best way to do a Beatles biopic

How is it that every new video you release is on a topic that I'm very familiar with and interested in, but you always bring something new that I either didn't know previously or hadn't considered?

Film 1: Road movie/teen sex comedy about their early years  from the point of view of Ringo

Film 2: more traditional music biopic showing them during the heyday of Beatlemania, from the point of view of Paul

Film 3: an erratic, psychedelic, Fear and Loathing esque depiction of the Sgt Peppers days with John as our Hunter S Thompson, unreliably narrating us through the whole thing

Film 4: George takes us through the final few months of the band, the recording of Abbey Road and Let it Be, the rooftop gig and the eventual split. I see this as almost like a divorce drama, think Kramer vs Kramer with George and Ringo in the middle

I really hope that they release extended editions of the films and that each extended edition has their title appended with (The Long One)

I went from "Does Earth Exist in Star Wars" to this.  I'm in love!

Hope it is done WELL and is great.

So… I was thinking about this way too much and this is my take:
1. This should be the band’s bio pic, not exactly of its members. So, we do not need to see them from their infancy; Ringo’s sickly childhood, Paul’s mother dying, etc. All those things can be referenced but we should focus on boys in relation to the band. This would help limit the involvement of secondary characters – easier to keep things tasteful and simple.
2. If they go with each film showing a different ‘era’ but with focus on one band member’s POV (as opposed to a personal story/bio) then I would split it as such (with reasons):
- Dreaming the Dream – John – he must go first as it simply started with John. And since we are focusing on The Beatles as a band, I would start with him meeting Paul. A lot of the early stuff are best shown through their relationship to John – Stu, Hamburg, the Exis, Paul quitting, John observing Paul’s baby boss mode, agreeing to sign up with Brian, crisis with Cynthia just as they were making it big. I would end with The Ed Sullivan show or them receiving news about making number 1 in the USA.
- Living the Dream – the hight of Beatlemania – I would give this POV to George. He was the one who enjoyed the mad fame the least, a lot of people they met ended up most connected to George (like Bob Dylan or Eric Clapton); George was also the one to start trying drugs with John. This was probably the time when his alienation from ‘JohnandPaul’ grew. So, it would be interesting to view this form his perspective? He, along with John, was the main instigator behind quitting touring and I would end this part with that decision (Candlestick Park or newspaper article).
- What is the Dream?/ Dream state of mind -  Ringo – although the bands studio careers began on the good note with rather enjoyable recording of Revolver, they started to flounder a bit later on. Their psychedelic era produced Sergeant Pepper which saw Ringo often sidelined. He also got on the least with the Indian spirituality, music and the trip to India. This is also the time when their personal relationships began to really change. Lack of forced proximity and them living apart and increasingly different lives started to turn them into colleagues.  John practically lived at Cavendish during recording of Pepper, but otherwise tensions began to rise across the board. George hated every minute of it, Paul and John’s competitiveness was losing its good-natured feel. Ringo feels like just being along for a ride, so could be an interesting POV for this wobbly train speeding towards a ravine. I would end with Ringo living during the White Album sessions; or after he agreed to come back, but the feeling in the air is not the same anymore.
- The Dream is over/ The Dream is dead – Paul – he was the one who wanted the band to keep going and took its disintegration the hardest (and was right about Klein). If you want to hit the feels, Paul’s eyes are the ones to view the end through. I would breeze through the Get Back sessions for obvious reasons, but then take it through the Abbey Road, and his home life coming together, John quitting the band, last sessions in January 1970 and then the “announcement” of the band’s breakup. They can even cover him throwing Ringo out of his house and them deciding to sue the others. If they want to end at a sad note, they can end with all 4 of them shutting doors at their respective houses. Or time jump to them signing official ‘divorce papers’ shortly before John and Paul meet again in LA (there’s a hopeful ending if you want one). Or you can even do a few times jumps and end with John’s death, which, arguably, was the final end of the band.

They could be like the Incarnations of Immortality series, where the same characters appear in each other's books but from their perspectives, which changes the context of the story and gives their point of view.  You could also break up their entire run into 4  segments, with each taking those periods of time from their perspective.  Such as John doing the formation of the band and start eras, Paul doing the experimental phase of the band, George doing the creative differences and divisions, and Ringo being the end of the band.  Each would be the main focus, but can flash back and forth to having specific takes on events.

My biggest fear for this is them cutting stuwart suitclif out of the story

Much enjoyed the video. I think the happy ending has to be in their musical legacy living on

Incredible video! Love your channel. Man I hope they get these movies right...

On paper making 4 films makes sense considering how different they all turned out to be as people. Each of them would recount the same facts in another way. Which also brings an issue of Paul and Ringo having much longer to work things over and their current recollection would be coloured differently than historical records from George and especially John. John changed his story a 1000 times throughout the 70s and frankly never got the chance to look back with the same as his longer living friends. How do they reconcile such differences in available material? As for the ending, it doesn't have to be happy or hopeful. They were not happy with each other in 1970 (although John quit in Septemer 1969, so shouldn't that count as the end?). They can very well start with showing them coming together and end with them coming apart;Paul throwing Ringo out of his house, or the 3 of them throwing rocks through Paul's windows, etc. If they structure it right, they can make juxtaposition scenes (like Paul is chosing to room with Ringo to better integrate him into the group and some years later pushes him out of his house; or John and Paul gradually being positioned further and further apart more often and going from John having a battle of wills with Jim over Paul to John throwing a rock through Cavendish and then being shown lookng back separated by a gate a broken window, now seeking to brake the ties). The Graduate has that kind of unsettling ending, when they run away and then sit at the back of a bus unsure what's next. Also, how do you treat people like Jane Asher, who was there for most if the story but never spoke much about her train wreck of a relationship with Paul (and vice a versa). Do you just mention her by name and show a redhead from a distance?

Nicely done. Most people seem to be assuming four films with four Beatle POVs released sequentially over the year, in which case one question that bugs me is "Who gets to go first?" (Anyone placing large bets on it being Ringo? I doubt it) The first film that everybody sees will inevitably control the issues and be seen as the definitive story, of which the remaining three become secondary 'versions' - especially for those who never stick the course until the end of film #4!  Not sure that any running order can be equitable, and if you spread them out over months (say) the first one is the big pilot episode, and unless it's a box-office blockbuster to reassure investors there may never even be another three films after that. On the other hand, a simultaneous worldwide splurge of four major theatrical releases seems impractical, huge money, huge risk on one throw of the dice... The whole thing is a potential nightmare, but I surely wish them well!

The moral of the story is that through making great art, people are transformed, until ultimately they can't get along anymore.  Hmmmmm.  I have to work on that one.  Seriously I think the moral I'd have to pick would be that there is something in the chemistry between people (even when they're in conflict or have very different perspectives) that takes them beyond what they could ever be alone, which would make the films a tragedy, but one that hints at a way forward for a divided culture.  It's all Love, and how hard it can be to maintain.  In terms of each character's story, focusing on moments where the other band members brought something surprising out in the main character of each arc would be fascinating to me.
