About Lennon or McCartney
Lennon or McCartney: A Musical Documentary
In the world of music, few names are as iconic as John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The two former Beatles have left an indelible mark on the industry, and their influence can still be felt today. But what if you had to choose between them? That's the question posed by the 2014 documentary Lennon or McCartney.
Directed by Matt Schichter, the film features interviews with over 70 musicians, actors, and other celebrities, all of whom are asked to weigh in on the debate. Some, like Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Maroon 5's Adam Levine, come down firmly on the side of Lennon. Others, like Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake, prefer McCartney's more melodic style.
But the film isn't just a series of talking heads. Schichter also includes archival footage of both Lennon and McCartney, as well as clips from their solo careers. The result is a fascinating look at two of the most important figures in music history.
Of course, the question of Lennon or McCartney is ultimately a matter of personal preference. As Rolling Stone's David Fricke notes, "It's like asking someone if they prefer chocolate or vanilla ice cream." But the film does offer some insights into the creative process of both men, and how their different approaches helped shape the Beatles' sound.
Overall, Lennon or McCartney is a must-see for any music fan. Whether you're a die-hard Lennonite or a McCartney maniac, there's something here for everyone. As Schichter himself puts it, "It's not about who's better. It's about who you connect with more."
