Visual words of wisdom.

Let It Be tends to be a sad ending to the Beatles movie career. At a time when the band was going through business struggles, their attempt to film their recording process led to them bickering on camera and leaving their fans with a melancholy feeling once they called it quits a few months later.

After multiple decades of separation, Lord of the Rings master Peter Jackson has been called in to make a second version of the documentary, which would show a different side of the band. With many Fab fans eager to see their favorite musicians on screen again, it's a bit of a mystery what this new project would entail.

For as much dirty laundry that was thrown into the original, there are many other elements in the band's world that would be interesting to see happening along with the music. Sure, not everything was sunshine and roses with the band during this time, but this update of the film might show that things were a bit more chipper than people may have expected. Here are just a few things that could be shown to tell the audience that the band put their best foot forward instead of ending their 60's run on a sour note.

10. More Joking Around

One thing that none of the Beatles have lost during their lifetimes is their great wit. From their earliest interviews to now, the Fabs were always a captivating presence whose interviews made for some of the funniest banter a rock band had ever indulged in. In the original Let It Be movie though, that type of rapport was a bit few and far between.

Throughout much of the original film, the band seem tired, dissatisfied with their material, and unwilling to communicate with their fellow band members about the creative process. It even led to verbal spats between band members, with George Harrison famously leaving midway through the session to go work on his material alone.

Where were the four lovable rockers that the world fell in love with back in the early 60's? Sure there were disagreements, but it's nearly impossible for a band to be this salty towards each other without one of them cracking a joke. Regardless of how it begins, a good amount of humor could be brought to give a bit of silver lining to the band's darkest days. The sessions may have been pained, but seeing the more mellow side of the band will help ease the tension of the band's eventual dissolution.
