When George died in 2001, I was inreal shock. I mustadmit - I was crying at the end of this great, deeply sympathetic,endearing, sincere, sweet eulogy to a great Master, George Harrison,who is not with us for 10 years now.

But one thing does come over: for all his failings, heseems to have been a genuinely loved human being, in a decidedlyunusual way to combine that with the musical legacy of the Beatles isnot such a bad epitaph for a life. And one might question how much of thestory of his later life is really that interesting, or whether hisapparent contradictions were the simple consequence of having too muchmoney and time. It's fair to say the filmis somewhat hagiographic, telling an overwhelming sympathetic story: areference to a period of heavy drug abuse is made, but not directlycommented upon, and no reference is made to the Natural Law Party(whose bizarre platform in the 1992 British general election wasactively supported by Harrison). The man's life is told, through old and newinterviews with himself and his friends, and archive footage (of whichthere is plenty), in Martin Scorcese's film. He was also unusually interested (for a westerner) ineastern mysticism but was not without his attachments to aspects ofthe material world.
