>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY.
WE'RE BACK WITH THE DIRECTOR OF THE BEATLES "GET BACK," PETER
JACKSON.
I LOVE THE BEATLES.
I LOVE THE -- I'M A FAN OF PROCESS.
I'M A FAN OF SEEING, YOU KNOW, GREAT ARTISTS IN THE MESSY ACT
OF CREATION, SWIMMING IN ALL THEIR OWN DOUBTS.
IT PULLS THEM OFF THE PEDESTAL A BIT AND MAKES THEM EVEN MORE
BEAUTIFUL IN WAYS.
THIS IS ALL -- THE PROCESS OF CREATING THESE SONGS IS
FANTASTIC.
AS MY WIFE EVIE SAID, OH, MY GOD THERE ARE SO MANY HOURS OF THEM
JUST PLAYING WITH EACH OTHER.
I MEAN, PLAYING LIKE -- LIKE PLAYING A GAME.
LIKE NOT PLAYING THEIR OWN SONGS, BUT PLAYING OTHER
PEOPLE'S SONGS AND IN A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT STYLES, WHILE
THEY'RE WAITING FOR TAPES TO ROLL OR MICS TO BE SET UP, AND
THEN SUDDENLY THEY WILL START WORKING, AND YOU WILL SEE THEM
DISCOVERING THEIR SONG.
AND WE HAVE A MOMENT HERE WHERE GEORGE IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
THE LYRICS TO SOMETHING.
IT'S JUST A NASCENT SONG AT THIS POINT.
JIM?
♪♪ >> WHAT COULD IT BE, PAUL?
SOMETHING IN THE WAY SHE MOVES.
>> WHAT ATTRACTED ME, THAT'S ALL.
>> JUST SAY WHATEVER COMES IN YOUR HEAD AT THE TIME.
>> I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS ONE, LIKE, FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS.
ATTRACTS ME LIKE A -- PROM POMEGRANATE.
THINK OF THAT, ATTRACTS ME LIKE A POMEGRANATE.
( LAUGHTER ) ♪ SOMETHING IN THE WAY SHE
MOVES.
♪ ATTRACTS ME LIKE A POMEGRANATE ♪
♪ SOMETHING IN THE WAY SHE MOVES ME ♪
>> I TELL YOU WHAT, STEPHEN, WHAT SURPRISED ME ABOUT ALL THIS
IS IT'S SUCH AN INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE.
WHEN I'M WATCHING IT THE FIRST TIME, I'M SCREAMING OUT "NO
OTHER LOVER!" YOU'RE TRYING TO GET BEHIND THEM
TO GET THE WORDS.
IT'S WE THE DIRECTOR.
YOU KNOW.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: WHEN THEY'RE
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SWEET LORETTE AT THAT'S LAST NAME
SHOULD BE.
A SWEET LORETTA MARSH, MARY -- I'M GOING IT'S MARDEN, YOU
IDIOT!
>> THEY GIVE JO JO A SURNAME FOR A WHILE, AND FOR A WHILE JO JO
JACKSON.
I THINK, HEY, THAT'S GOOD!
AND A TERRIBLE MOMENT WHERE PAUL AND JOHN SAY JO JO JACKSON,
THAT'S PAID.
AND I'M, LIKE, COME ON, GUYS.
>> Stephen: I LIKE WHEN JOHN QUESTIONS WHETHER TUCSON'S IN
ARIZONA.
>> AND PAUL SAYS, YEAH, IT'S WHERE THE HIGH CHAPPARAL IS
SHOT.
TUCSON WAS THERE BECAUSE THE HIGH CHAPPARAL TEAM WAS THERE.
PAUL SAID, WHAT'S THAT?
HE SAID, HIGH CHAPPARAL IS WHO WE THANK FOR TUCSON, ARIZONA.
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT.
>> Stephen: I ALSO THINK IT WILL CHANGE PEOPLE'S VIEW OF
YOKO OHNO'S ROLE IN THE BEATLES LAST YEARS TOGETHER.
IT MAY HAVE CAUSED FRICTION IN THEIR PROCESS, HARD TO TELL.
CERTAINLY DOESN'T HAPPEN ON CAMERA.
>> YOU'RE DEALING WITH GUYS WHO ARE GETTING OLDER, THEIR
LIFESTYLE CHANGES.
WHEN THEY WERE THE MOPTOPS ON THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW, WOULD IT
HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATE FOR ONE OF THEIR GIRLFRIENDS TO HANG
AROUND?
I DON'T THINK ANY ONE OF THEM WOULD LIKE THAT.
BUT HERE JOHN AND YOKO ARE IN LOVE AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE
APART FROM HER.
WHY'RE IN LOVE, WHY DOESN'T SHE COME ALONG.
SHE SITS BY SIDE HIM BECAUSE THEY'RE IN LOVE.
SHE DOESN'T INTERFERE.
YOU DON'T GET YOKO SUGGESTING TO PAUL HOW THE SOLO SHOULD BE
PLAYED.
YOU KNOW, SHE IS NOT TRYING TO INTERFERE, SHE'S TOTALLY
RESPECTFUL OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
SHE'S KNITTING, READING BOOKS, THEY'RE THERE BECAUSE THEY LOVE
EACH OTHER AND T THE BEATLES ARE GETTING ON WITH IT.
THEY'RE NOT THE KIDS, THE LIFESTYLE IS CHANGING, BUT
THEY'RE STILL THE BEATLES AND YOKO AND JOHN ARE ALLOWED, IT
DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL, I MEAN, YEAH.
>> Stephen: YOU SAY THEY'RE NOT KIDS ANYMORE, BUT ONE OF THE
THINGS YOU'RE REMINDED BECAUSE THIS GETS MENTIONED A COUPLE OF
TIMES BY THE BEATLES IN THE DOCUMENTARY.
THEY'RE BETWEEN 26 AND 28 YEARS OLD.
GEORGE IS 26.
>> GEORGE IS 25, I BELIEVE.
GEORGE IS 25, PAUL IS 26 AND RINGO AND JOHN ARE 28, I
BELIEVE.
27 OR 28, I BELIEVE, YEAH.
>> Stephen: I MEAN, TO ME, THAT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE STILL
KIDS, BUT THEY'RE IN THE LAST YEAR OF THE MOST POP MAKING
BAND.
>> YOU HAVE 25-YEAR-OLD GEORGE HARRISON TOWARDS THE END OF THE
BEATLES CAREER, THEY'RE EIGHT MONTHS FROM BREAKING UP AND HE'S
25 YEARS OLD.
IT'S AMAZING.
EVERYTHING GEORGE ACHIEVED AS A BEATLE HE'S DONE IT UP TO AGE
25.
WHAT AN AMAZING LIFE.
IT'S AMAZING TO THINK BECAUSE THEY'RE YOUNG.
THEY'RE ALMOST KIDS.
THEY JUST -- YEAH.
THAT'S INCREDIBLE, THEIR AGE IS INCREDIBLE.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER BREAK.
BUT STICK AROUND BECAUSE WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE PETER JACKSON.
