The Paul nose scratch is dead on. But so is John's hand on his hip @ 6:47. You'll see plenty of pix of him standing around like that. I like Aidan Quinn and Jared Harris (lately of Mad Men). Neither look much like Paul and John, but if you can get pasy it, I think they do a credible job in their portrayals. I feel the same way about Aaron Johnson in Nowhere Boy. And Ian Hart looks more like Julian than John, but still closer to John than most of the other actors who've portrayed him.
This did actually happen. Paul McCartney paid several visits to the Dakota in 1977/78. The two men seemed have have gotten on well after such a bitter split in 1970. It is rumoured that John was astounded by Paul's success with his group 'Wings', personal wealth and latest record deal ($ 24.4 million) that he set Yoko a task of trying to equal it (to varying degrees of success)
Sadly, after these visits, the two men were destined never to meet again.
@Marie15017 If you read the few beginning screens, it basically says this is a wild guess at what could have happened if Paul had visited John, as a rumor said he did.
@TheBSxperience Oh yeah,so I guess Beatles songs would be inappropriate. Well,it is titled "Two Of Us" which is itself a Beatles song. They shouldn't have titled it that because as you said it's NOT a Beatles movie? If they could've aquired the rights there would've been Beatles songs included.
Haha, they gave Paul's actor the bracelet too! Perfect! And I like the whole nose scratching thing. I've noticed in interviews that he does that. It's so cute!
I really don't like how they potrayed John in this movie.. Paul is ok and the actor is really good with how Paul movie and his nose-scratching XD but the actor who plays John makes me HATE him, I dunno why, I just really HATE HIM! :P And I don't hate John, I love him! RIP ♥
Ian Hart as John lennon is overrated(I thought he was good, just not amazing). The guy who played John in Birth of the Beatles was fantastic(although that movie had many inaccuracies). The guy here does a pretty good job but he's nothing special. I'm still waiting for that perfect John actor
I didn't really like the guy who played Paul...his voice and look was off but everything else was great...his mannerisms and the speaking structure was great....but the voice was a mix between paul and a ringo impression
I think that they could have found people that resembled them more, but the guy who plays Paul did a good job with his voice, I'll give him credit for that. I'll watch the movie and see how I feel about it.
@rikadew You are referring to a BBC's tv movie of 1997;really lovely with two finals.The one You can find on the web is the original one with an happy end.

I disagree with the criticisms of Aidan Quinn. He's a good actor. It's sort of like Anthony Hopkins playing Nixon: he looks and sounds little like Paul, but has a skillful way of inhabiting the part so that after a while he's sold you on the IDEA of Paul. Can't say the other guy is quite so convincing. The accent is certainly wrong.
I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not I like this movie. The actors are certainly great- they even got John's way of crossing his arms and Paul's way of scratching his nose perfectly. But the parts with John being so rude to his fans have made me dislike it; sure, he resented being famous, but he wasn't a jerk.
@tyandshell79 Yes, it's a shame isn't it. I guess if people give you licence to act like a jerk though, you're bound to. Doesn't stop him being one of the three greatest songwriters ever (in my humble opinion)...Come to think of it the other two are kind of dicks too...
But one thing they did get right was when Paul visited John, they never talked about the Beatles. At all. They talked about their kids and Paul caught John up on the latest gossip about British rock stars, which John loved.
A couple of historical inaccuracies. Paul did visit John several times in the 1970's, but always had Linda with him. Linda loved John (she called him "Ducky") and always pushed Paul to keep in touch with him. Also, John was never rude to fans. It was easier for him to smile, sign an autograph and move on. When asked about the Beatles, he'd always say "You never know."
Wow. Aidan Quinn's depiction of Paul is god-awful. I'm a 23-year-old girl, and I'm pretty sure I could do a better job mimicking his voice and mannerisms.
The part where John syas "Shite a Pig its Paul" has some truth to it.When John heard Comming Up on the raido for the first time in 1980 he said "Fuck a Pig its Paul".
He doesn't look like Lennon at all....why couldn't they have gotten Ian Hart from the movie "Backbeat"?? Hart is the spitting image of Lennon, and sounds like him too.
Re. Paul. Yeah I thought that too! I remember seeing him in interviews like when he did Anthology, and thought "OK, that's obviously a Paul thing to do." Then when I saw Aidan do it in the film I thought "They've definately done their homework!" LOL!
The only Beatles movie I've seen that wasn't laughable or cringable was Nowhere Boy.
