Backbeat Trailer 1994 - The Beatles

The movie chronicles the early days of The Beatles in Hamburg, Germany, and focuses primarily on the relationship between Stuart Sutcliffe and John Lennon , and also with Sutcliffe's German girlfriend Astrid Kirchherr. This is generally more accurate than the 1979 TV movie Birth of the Beatles, which covers mostly the same period. It also has a darker, more detailed storyline, and The Beatles history as such, is background to the main story.

The film is based on the book The Real Life Story Behind Backbeat - Stuart Sutcliffe: The Lost Beatle by Alan Clayson and Pauline Sutcliffe. The soundtrack features no Beatles songs, but the cover tunes they used to play in Hamburg, written and recorded by other artists.

CAST & CREW: Chris O'Neill, Sheryl Lee, Jennifer Ehle, Gary Bakewell, Wolf Kahler, Scot Williams, Kai Wiesinger, Stephen Dorff, Ian Hart.

Directed by Iain Softley

RUNTIME: 96 minutes RELEASE DATE: January, 1 1994

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

[gamemasterzoomzoomom]

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