This Is The Essence Of Them.

A boxing stance in that footwear. So Paul.

Just look at those girly sandals Paul’s wearing.

This hits ALL the spots.

Harmony songs are THE Beatles songs for me.

I never say no to a bit of rip-roar McCartney either.

Can you imagine looking at that year after year?

Make it stop.

“John never looked at anyone the way he looked at Paul.” -an actual quote said by Cynthia Powell.

Jesus wept.

The Beatles leaving their suite at the New York Plaza, 7th February 1964

I love the chaos of this scene. Ringo listening to their song on the radio. John calling Neil ‘Nell’. Paul and George being silly boys until John walks out and Paul’s brain grinds to a halt. Paul trying to finish his bit when his brain eventually comes back to life. Ringo strolling out half an hour after everyone else.

Good times.

Slow-mo gif to appreciate the emotional journey that Paul goes on…

the idea of Jim being like “thank god my teenager knocked up his girlfriend because that means he’s not having gay sex with John Lennon”

I knowwwww! The implications of that! No one in the fifties was excited and supportive of teen pregnancy. Most parents, especially of Jim's ilk, would be devastated and furious. You know? There goes the illustrious career you were pushing your son into, supposedly the main reason you didn't like him spending so much time with John Lennon and dedicating too much to a band that should've just been a fun thing on the side. But no, Jim's not even disappointed, he's over here like "the whole family is coming over to celebrate your love! look at this adorable pram i found! you two can move in here together and we'll all be one big happy family!"

I really have to wonder if Paul clued in to that. Like was he just like "yeah my dad loves babies and he loves Dot, of course he's excited." Or did it hit him then that Jim was suspicious of John for more reasons than he'd been forthcoming about? And if that's the case, did it change the way Paul himself looked at his relationship with John, or was he already aware by that point of the sexual aspect of their relationship?

Don’t mince your words there Paul.

He can’t be real.

Same jumper? Were they sharing or did they have one each? In my mind this is George’s and Paul has borrowed it. ❤️
