Peter Jackson reviewed 130 hours of audio and 57 hours of long-hidden video to create “The Beatles: Get Back.” Peter Jackson is quick to tell you he doesn’t have a favorite Beatle.

By the end of watching 468 minutes of John, Paul, George and Ringo goof off, snipe at each other, create and perform beautiful music, I felt wrung out and also like I had created my own masterpiece. Just watching Macca pull out ‘Get Back’ out of thin air is worth the eight-hour slog, and also McCartney’s headmaster-like domination of the …
