Why hasn't there been a biographical movie about the Beatles?

Cast it Sup Forums

You cant. How do you boil down the journey of The Beatles and the effect they had on the world to 90 minutes? Just watch Anthology.

Pretty easy. Group of fags make shit music and take acid, some people are impressed.

Backbeat is great

Yeah no ones impressed that you hate The Beatles, bud.

They are still alive, so royalties are pretty high. Matthew Wiener will make a series about them after Ringo and Faul die. The guy who plays Bran Stark in GOT will be John

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.

nice copypasta fag. now kill yourself

underrated post

The Beatles are overrated trash only respected by stoners and college students trying to seem intelligent.

There is and I watched it years ago. It was about their first years and time in Germany. The actor who played Paul had some fucked up weird face that slightly resembled the real one.

What is backbeat (1994)?

>He's never heard of The Rutles:All You Need is Cash

And George Harrison paid for it!

The Beatles are only hated by self important hipsters who think hating them makes them intelligent and unique.

What makes them trash then, oh enlightened one?

Sure buddy, they're pop trash who caught the ears of people who wallow in filth, take drugs, and act smug. It's total degenerate garbage.

>complains about people acting smug
>acts smug
You're just a self important joyless cunt who spends too much time trying to impress strangers on Sup Forums

They made songs and toured. That’s it. There’s no real narrative there.

Jazz isn’t even music. It’s just random notes being played out of key. It’s post modernist trash. At least the Beatles tried to bring structure back to music.

There will be one and they are gonna cast an Afro-American as Lennon, a Chinese as Ringo, a Hispanic as Harrison & an Indian as Mccartney. I heard it will come out at 2021.

This guy from Sing Street

Personally, I'd rather see their bio pic...

If it's not called "Hey Hey We're the Monkees", whichever studio makes it is run by idiots

I literally can not see an alternative cast.

>people who wallow in filth, take drugs, and act smug
I don't do any of those things. The beatles are not degenerate at all. You don't even know what degenerate means. The Beatles are incredibly tame compared to everything that came out during and after their career.

They should just have a long interview with Pete Best where he has a tantrum and continuously declares his hate for The Beatles and how he got jipped out of fame.
