I started watching Get Back and made it about a third of the way into the second part (it's a three-part thing), when John and Paul are 'secretly' recorded talking in a cafeteria about George having recently quit the band. The recording is made to sound like it's just Lennon/McCartney having a concerned chat. I knew that Get Back was edited down from a huge volume of material, so I paused and looked up the cafeteria recording — the 'Lunchroom Tape' — for further info. I found that the full tape documented John and Paul's conversation as happening in a completely different order, and that the two were further joined at the table by Linda and Yoko. The Get Back reproduction is a dramatic fabrication. I listened some more to the real tape and found that it mostly records Yoko talking about George like he was an infant, and instructing John and Paul about how to "get him back, so easily." A little more research revealed that Peter Jackson, the director, had been legally obliged to run everything past Sauron Yoko, as Lennon's estate's executor, and get her approval before distributing the films. It became clear that the whole thing has a Yezhov-was-never-there vibe. Whether the films were intended by Jackson to rehabilitate Yoko's image or not, Yoko seems to have used them as an opportunity to do so, or at the very least explicitly approved of Jackson doing so. I stopped watching at that point. asmith, that’s interesting, but not surprising to me. I’ve made tons of mistakes; I’m sure we all have; maybe Sauron Yoko is now of a different mindset and has repented; she didn’t want that part evident in Get Back, and she had it changed. That may have not been for the best, but it’s understandable, to me at least. In life many mistakes are made and we who made the mistakes aren’t fond of the world being able to see us making the mistakes. I just want my mistakes to completely disappear and thankfully serve God who totally “forgets” my mistakes after I confess and repent. It a completely freeing moment! I also understand you not approving of the history being changed like that. It’s not good for me too, but if I can ever watch the entire show, I’m going to still try. And, I’ll keep in mind what you’ve said here about Sauron Yoko, asmith. 👍

Pffft! "I'm pretty tired.. think I'll go home, now..."

We're almost to the point where we'll need to rename this thread "Pi Month"
