It's so funny how some people are getting upset about Now and Then being promoted as a "Beatles song" when George didn't want to do it and is no longer here to have a say in it... if anything George not wanting to do it but not getting a say is exactly what makes it a fully authentic Beatles song

bad outcome for beatles biopics: they cast john all wrong and his movie is terrible because they don’t do justice to his personality
good outcome for beatles biopics: john is cast perfectly and his film wins well-deserved awards for portraying him as accurately crazy yet sympathetic and nuanced
best outcome for beatles biopics: same as above, but they hire one of those method actors who refuse to break character and things get super weird when paul comes on set to be an assistant producer

It’s been years, and I’m still trying to figure out how it went from this:
(September 20, 1969 Meeting)
Then we were discussing something in the office with Paul and Paul was saying to do something, and I kept saying, ‘No, no, no’ to everything he said. So it came to a point that I had to say something. So I said, ‘The group’s over, I’m leaving.’ Allen was there, and he was saying, ‘Don’t tell.’ He didn’t want me to tell Paul even. But I couldn’t help it, I couldn’t stop it, it came out.
— John Lennon, Lennon Remembers, 1970
I’d said: ‘I think we should go back to little gigs – I really think we’re a great little band. We should find our basic roots, and then who knows what will happen? We may want to fold after that, or we may really think we’ve still got it.’ John looked at me in the eye and said: ‘Well, I think you’re daft. I wasn’t going to tell you till we signed the Capitol deal’ – Klein was trying to get us to sign a new deal with the record company – ‘but I’m leaving the group!’ We paled visibly and our jaws slackened a bit.
— Paul McCartney, The Beatles Anthology, 2000
So everyone went, “Gulp!” The weight was dropped, our jaws dropped along with it, everyone blanched except John, who coloured a little and said, “It’s rather exciting. It’s like I remember telling Cynthia I wanted a divorce.”
— Paul McCartney, From “Many Years From Now” by Barry Miles, 1997
To this:
Why do you think he [Paul] has lost interest in Apple?
That’s what I want to ask him! We had a heavy scene last year as far as business was concerned and Paul got a bit fed-up with all the effort of business. I think that’s all it is. I hope so.
— John Lennon interviewed by Roy Shipston for Disc and Music Echo (February 28, 1970)
INT: I asked Lee Eastman for his view of the split, and what it was that prompted Paul to file suit to dissolve the Beatles' partnership, and he said it was because John asked for a divorce.
JOHN: Because I asked for a divorce? That's a childish reason for going into court, isn't it?
— John Lennon interviewed by Peter McCabe and Robert Schonfeld at the St. Regis Hotel, September 5, 1971
