This is just my 2 cents, but I think the way Get Back is framed as Paul being the only one who cared is incorrect.

It's not that George didn't care. He was in good spirits at the start, offered songs, offered suggestions to make the songs as good as they could be, etc. The others weren't interested.

At one point George mentions Magical Mystery Tour, and I think that's significant. George decided to stay silent and let things play out when MMT was being filmed, and it turned out to be a bit of a disaster. It was like he could see Get Back was going to end the same way unless he spoke up. He was determined to prevent The Beatles from repeating a mistake.

To me, that's the opposite of not caring.

And look what happened as a result. The Beatles did change course, and the Get Back sessions became monumentally better.

Paul said once that George was the one who always got them out of doing things none of them actually wanted to do because he wasn't afraid to put his foot down, and this was one of those cases imo. It might not make him the most popular with fans, but George saved the band a lot of grief by being that person.

“When Julian went to George’s concert the next day, Neil Aspinall, John, and I went to talk with Lee Eastman, Linda’s father. While there, Julian called with a message from George: “All’s forgiven, George loves you and he wants you to come to his party tonight.” We did go the party at the Hippopotamus Club, where George, John, and Paul hugged. John, Julian, and I left New York the following day to spend Christmas in West Palm Beach, Florida.

On December 29, 1974, the voluminous documents were brought down to John in Florida by one of Apple’s lawyers. “Take out your camera, Linda,” he joked to me. Then he called Harold Seider to go over some final points.

When John hung up the phone, he looked wistfully out the window. I could almost see him replaying the entire Beatles experience in his mind.

He finally picked up his pen and, in the unlikely backdrop of Disney World, at the Polynesian Village Hotel, officially ended the greatest rock ’n’ roll band in history by simply scrawling John Lennon at the bottom of the page.”

“George,” John whines from the couch.

George can only roll his eyes, this is the fourth time in the past five minutes that John has called out for his boyfriend.

He knows exactly what John wants.

“Geo—“ John starts but is immediately interrupted by George.

“John—Please be quiet for just one moment,” he takes a deep breath, “I’m trying to focus on something.”

“Writing songs can wait, George. I can’t believe you would let the love of your life sit over here and waste away without so much as a kiss or a hug?” John asks incredulously.

George picks his head up from his guitar, “You are far from attention deprived, John. And even if you were, I think you would survive.”

John lets out another whine, “But George,” he pauses for a moment to attract his lover’s eye contact, “I could just drop dead right now and you’d just have to live with the fact that you wouldn’t give me any affection.”

George sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, “You are insufferable,” he states plainly as he sets his guitar down and closes his notebook.

John grins as George’s figure appears in view, “Well hello there handsome,” John purrs as George settles beside him.

George rolls his eyes once again as John climbs into his lap and places his arms around George’s neck.

“Oh don’t act so unamused,” John teases, “I know you are just as needy as I am.”

George fights the urge to roll his eyes for a third time as his hands settle at John’s waist, “Y’know, John, I love you. I really do, but sometimes I’d like to just shut that pretty little mouth of yours.”

John lets out a gasp of (fake) surprise, “You love me? I had no idea!”

This time George does roll his eyes for a third time before pulling John forward to press a kiss to his lips.

“I like you better when you shut your mouth,” George whispers as they pull away.

John’s smugness can be seen from a mile away, “I always knew you did.”

"I think a good song or a good film or a good book, they don't work because they're making you feel the pain of the characters, they work because they're tricking you into feeling your own. Somehow when you relate to a character in a song or a book or a film, and that character's suddenly having a hard time or something horrible is happening to them or they die, it's pulling emotion out of you that's really just you allowing yourself to feel your own pain. There's something about that I just think is really powerful and amazing. " – Chris Cornell
