'You don’t watch Get Back so much as hang out with it and let it wash over you.' chaneyj writes on why the three-part Disney+ docuseries is too long — and why it needs to be
Photo: Courtesy of Apple Corps Ltd. The Beatles: Get Back, the three-part Disney+ docuseries that embeds viewers with the Beatles during their famously contentious recording sessions in January 1969, is long. Like, long long.
At the same time, it would not have made sense to edit Get Back and reduce it to a two-, three-, or even four-hour version. One of the many things Get Back does really well is to provide a sense of what it was like to float in the orbit of John, Paul, George, and Ringo at a moment when the Beatles as a unit were beginning to disintegrate. A lot of that time seems frustrating, tense, and uncomfortable.
There is extensive footage like this in Get Back, sparks of ideas that lead to the kneading of melodic and lyrical dough. Ringo Starr plays a bit of “Octopus’s Garden,” and George Harrison starts suggesting different lyrics. McCartney or Lennon vocalizes constantly when he’s got a melody for a tune but not all the actual words yet. One could argue that seeing so much of this play out drags down the docuseries.
