Title: Editor with ADHD
Product review: This is a useful movie to show to budding film (especially documentary) editors about how overzealous editing can destroy good footage. The viewer is never given more than a few seconds before it cuts away to another angle, or worse, another audience shot.A particularly egregious example of sophomoric editing is seen during Eleanor Rigby, when the stage is superimposed on endless faces from the audience, presumably "all the lonely people".Every song is followed by interviews with people (some famous, like Bill Clinton, Steve Jobs, and others less so) who endlessly mouth platitudes about how great Paul McCartney is.I fervently hope that at some point in the future someone will use the high-def concert footage with excellent sound quality to put together another more watchable disc.
