I'm not sure which is worse: the fact that I wasn't aware of this wonderful documentary or that I am so ill equipped to speak with any authority on it.You see, I am surrounded by rabid McCartney fans on every front so I hesitate to even open my mouth without the fear of being eaten alive at the slightest misstep.
Let's start with something I never knew.
On the morning of September 11th, 2001, Paul McCartney was sitting comfortably aboard an airplane in New York City awaiting take off when the unthinkable happened and history changed. His plans foiled but his resolve bolstered, this movie is the story of what happened in the six weeks that followed that catastropic nightmare and what one man was determined to do about it.
We are along for the ride with McCartney and Albert Maysles behind the camera as the legendary musician forms and executes a plan to do something for a wounded New York, a city very different from the one where the Beatles landed in 1964.
