I really enjoyed Paul in this movie... Gary Bakewell, the boy who played him, was really like him! I enjoyed the movie too, it's very nice to see the Beatles before all that fame.

[newallthestars100]

I wanted to know more about Stuart, so that's why I watched this. I do think Nowhere Boy is better if you want to see a movie about John. R.I.P Stu.

[DoubleS0312]

THIS IS NOT RIGHT... THEY MADE THE BEATLES SOUND LIKE A HARD ROCK BAND, AND NOT THE CLASSIC SOUNDING BAND THEY WERE... YOU WANNA SEE GREAT ACTING OF THE BEATLES WATCH NOWHERE BOY... NOW THAT'S AN AWESOME DISPLAY OF TRUE BEATLE MUSIC (EVEN THOU IT IS THE QUARRYMEN) BUT IT STILL THE BEATLES

[xEnZoProDucTioNz]

Guys this film is SHITE , im watching it now nothing like John lennons personality , made him look like a MUG.. Like this so people dont waste there money

[lanroze]

j ai adoré ce film

[gamemasterzoomzoomom]

I hated this movie and Paul did too. Nowhere Boy is the best illrustation of John's life and the Early Beatles.

[miramarachan]

This film is so cool!! It illustrates the pre-Beatles period very well! And I love Stuart's story although it's very sad. A very exciting film!

[WiltatKansas]

Stuart Sutcliffe was John's best friend, but i think Paul was a better influence to John.

[bondurango]

@bobyoung53

Yes, it was unfair of me to say that because he was on hiatus for five years until he wrote "Starting Over" in 1980. But by 1975, "Stand By Me" had been his last single. Despite his success with the single, "Imagine", critics were tepid toward the album (Rolling Stone bit the hand that once fed them by accusing him of posturing). He co-wrote Bowie's "Fame", but if he wasn't being eclipsed, he was receding. He was a living icon & for a lot of people icons are never washed up.

[wisesatyr72]

this movie was really about stu sutcliff and his influence on the group, and it shows a very close relationship between him and john..

[ROSECROIX21]

the best!

[4yules]

great and haunting movie

[1365225]

you need to read cynthia lennon book and you find out the true reason why they broke up

[Bickaa8012]

An underrated movie about an underrated guy, Stuart Sutcliffe.

[joshjhutton]

Rated 'R' becaus theres boobies

[leatherfaze03]

@joshjhutton it's rated r because The Beatles were extremely involved with drugs and sex with people they've only met for 90 seconds, just like jim morrison!

[joshjhutton]

And Boobies

[ChokeslamKing]

i saw the live action performance of this film. it was pretty good.

[tarff26]

i went to see it last night, really didn't think it was much cop

[skacaulkie]

if u watch the movie, it kinda hints that stu would have been kicked out regardless of if he met astrid or not. paul reckoned he was a better bass player than stu, and he didnt want to be in a band with 3 guitarists

[rendersen23]

Hey guys, for those of you who is looking for Backbeat the movie, it's been posted on youtube.

[yeslauren]

The trailer seems better than the actual movie. I've only seen a few parts of it and I don't think I would like it if I watched the whole thing :/

[mrwelbourn]

people jus tend tto think. OH the beatles a nice little pop rock band :).......nah! ;)

[Gary320]

I think that's not the same anymore. People know the problems Beatles had or about the acid trips or how some of their songs were written when they were stoned.

[mrwelbourn]

meh.. i spose ahah :)

[pikopikochuu]

the casting is really great. :D

[ellendean]

Check out my vids of The Backbeat Beatles. You will spot Chris O'Neill.

[ledzep896]

This is one of my favorite movies of all time!!!!!!!!

[Eleanorigby1]

I don't understand why crap like Birth of the Beatles is on here in full but this masterpiece isn't.

makes no sense.

[BeatleLover4243]

This movie is being shown on VH1 Classics tonight!

[AlicelieThe5thEsq]

I watched it!!!!! The movie was sooooooooooooooooo sad that I nearly cried. It's a movie that I love to hate, hate to love, hate to hate and love to love. Only because Stuart died in the end. I always get paranoid at the end that I'll have an aneurism. Yeah, scary stuff. OH, btw, send any comments to ILoveLiverpuddlians. I'm on my friend's youtube.

[1Beatlemaniac1]

waaa This film its great!

[Beatles4ever63]

i just finished watching this movie and i cried

[jackwc2]

Why... the fuck... would someone make a movie about Stuart Sutcliffe? Whats next, a movie about Tim Staffell?

[trinitymike]

Wasn't JUST about him....

[Raneem13]

Yeh, i saw this movie

it was amazing but i think they had to call it "Stuart Sutcliffe ", because it was focusing on Stu's life more than the beatles ... and Stephen Dorff gave an outstanding performance

[tarkothegreat123]

please post the full movie!!!!

[aghmpa]

i didnt know stuart but i didnt like him in the movie

[bobgrantsbus]

Great film on the early part of The Beatles career in Hamburg. All the cast did a fantastic job especially Ian Hart and Stephen Dorff as Lennon and Sutcliffe.

The music, the clothes and the attitude are all inspiring..

[MannequinSkywalker]

Yeah, Paul said he thought it wasn't a good film, but he did say that the actor playing him gave a good performance.

His reasons consisted of the artistic license taken, John being shown singing Long Tall Sally, etc....

Hopefully a real biopic will get made someday.

[turbotime1964]

I havent seen this movie since it was first released but I loved it!  The characters of Lennon, Astrid, and Sutcliff were well played. Great storyline, you forget that this was about the greatest rock band in history. In fact the name "Beatles" was only mentioned once (in the dialog in this trailer).

[andantinowithaswager]

the guy who did lennon sounded like him.

[niceguy2106]

I think this is a good british film. the director now makes movies in Hollywood and what more can I say about Ian Hart! I filmed an interview with one of the film's producers Nik powell. take a look at my channel

[SulioBretz]

In one of millions leyends about the beatles, it´ told about the "sexual favor" of lennon from epstein. Everyone knows about the homosexualy of beatles´s manager. In this leyend, lennon acces to brian touch him, (nothing more) just like a price for the exit of the beatles. Ín the movie exploited that ambivalency of john. in my opinion john was not a gay (perhaps bisexual). why? in the seventies nobody talks about any scandal homsexual in that john´s involucred.

[klugerhans]

jaja, capullo, aprende inglés! " involucred"? leyend? LOOOOOOOOOOOL

[e8412561]

I think you'll find, that when it states 'Rolling Stone says....' it's referring to the american music magazine & not the rock group.

[Stiletto92]

HAHAHAHA

[ScousersRule7]

Okay, I have seen part 1 of this on YouTube but when I went to go and watch it today all there was was the video diaries. What the hell???? Does anyone know why this is?????

[1Beatlemaniac1]

OMG

[whathoney73]

so wheres part 2?

[bondurango]

This movie gives us the real answer to John & Yoko. Lennon idealized the relationship between Stuart Sutcliffe & Astrid Kircher. They had been bohemian artists who adored each other & John couldn't have that kind of relationship with Cynthia. Stuart quit the Beatles to pursue the loves of his life - painting & Astrid - and the two didn't compete for his attention. On the contrary, it all seemed to merge together in a very natural way that made Stuart a transcendant figure in John's mind.

[livefortoday17]

Woah. I think you just blew my mind with that. I never thought of it that way.

Seriously, I've been wondering for a long time why I think of John and Yoko's relationship as completely right and completely wrong at the same time. You gave me something to think about, for sure XD

[libjen]

Very well put. I hadn't thought of it in that way, but it would make sense.

John was said to always keep his close friends at hand, and his loss no-doubt affected John more deeply than he ever expressed, except perhaps in song.

In the movie, the lighthouse conversation between John and Astrid (rum) struck me as having a John and Yoko-esque quality in a what if? sort of way.

Astrid, is certainly a fascinatingly integral part of Beatle lore, and worthy of her own biography.

[bondurango]

Once Brian Epstein died, The Beatles started breaking up & so John was ready to do a Stuart on the other Beatles. I think he'd always felt a great deal of ambivalence toward Stuart & Astrid. But I think he was bitter & resentful toward the others failure to empathize with him. Stuart was no big deal for them, but for John that event was deeply personal & meaningful. But the terrible irony is that no one could ever have imagined the similar fate that awaited him with his own early death.

[Yeaahright]

@bondurango gasp, that is one hell of a realization.

[bondurango]

@Yeaahright Suffice it to say that John failed to imitate Stu. The Beatles started unraveling the minute Brian Epstein died & it was Paul, not John, who filled his shoes & succeeded with Sgt. Peppers. By mimicking Stu, John found the perfect way to express his resentment but he paid the price because audiences wouldn't indulge his conceit. Yoko was ruinous to John as an artist & when he died, he was on the brink of being washed up. Gasp!

[Yeaahright]

@bondurango well music wasn't enough for John, he was a real artist. While the others Beatles longed to go back to their families and settle down, he on the contrary left his wife and child, and Yoko did the same, to be a real artists. One of his only redeeming quality is that at least he was a real artist. I even forgive him for bad mouthing Paul and even his music with the Beatles. Only a real artist (not a businessman) can be as critical and not self-indulgent and content and smug.

[JustAdelaide]

@Yeaahright

You are basically saying that being an artist is better than taking care of your family?

[ivan6194life]

@JustAdelaide is it not??

[swegirl1000]

@bondurango Hhahahahahah, u don't know any thing. This movie was so wrong on so many parts. Specially around cynthia and john !

[DizzyMissRomi]

i love this movie...that's really great...and astrid is so similar...

[AnnaCill]

Are you kidding? Of course it's rated R, there's alot of sex in it. It was a pretty good movie. The man who played John Lennon actually looked like Julian Lennon lol.

[libjen]

Interesting observation. I just saw this movie the other day and didnt realize it was so old (1994). Some actors looked ok, but the writers weighed story over looks.

John) Ian Hart looked ok and the voice, and Stephen Dorff as Stu looked great, but I too thought that the (John) actor gave off too much of a Julian vibe.

I think it was the eyebrows! The actors were too small, and not full like Johns. Overall an entertaining movie if youre not too stingy on bio-accuracy.

[AeroBeatlesDoorsLed]

i didnt know backbeat was rated r
