"Beatles' 64 "by Disney+ tells about how the Beatles visited the United States in 1964, and reveals unique details of their historic visit.
The new documentary about the famous "Liverpool four" goes the same way as Peter Jackson's previous three-part documentary "The Beatles: Get Back". Jackson then used some never-before-seen footage and thus created an unprecedented closeness to the band, which is still revered to this day. The Beatles '64 takes viewers back to the year when John, Paul, George, and Ringo had already conquered Europe and launched an" assault "on the United States. Their performance on The Ed Sullivan Show was watched by 73 million Americans on their televisions. According to newspapers of the time, based on Nielsen's measurements, the broadcast had the highest ratings in New York City television history.
The shaky black-and-white footage shows four pale young men in high spirits making their way through the ecstatic crowd. producer Martin Scorsese and director David Tedeschi restored it in the company of Peter Jackson.
According to Spiegel, the effect is completely different from psychedelic, colorful interior shots.
"Beatles 64" is a great film because it takes you to the very heart of this emotional hurricane, in which a vague sense of liberation was mixed with a pure desire for something unheard of new.
