Just saw "Yesterday". What a great movie!

[bif]

We got it from our library and it's streaming on Amazon Prime. It's about a world where the Beatles suddenly have never existed. A young singer, who remembers their music, decides to start performing the songs and he becomes a major star. It's a Danny Boyle film well worth watching. And if you love the Beatles, it's a must see! .

1. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Himesh Patel is quite engaging, and the idea of a world (mostly) without The Beatles is done quite well.

(Semi-related: I recently read 150 Glimpses Of The Beatles, and one of the penultimate chapters spins a world where Gerry and the Pacemakers were the world-changing band.)

2. Loved it.

The sound was really good.

I cracked up when Paul and Ringo show up and one is barefooted.

10. Two different Yesterday movies on Amazon Prime

There are two different Yesterday Movies on Amazon Prime. The one staring Himesh Patel and Lily James you can buy for $9.99. The other one staring Ali Orokzai and Eva Diana Diaz is included with Prime.

I don't know anything about either one of them but I will have to watch the later one.

7. Loved it too. Just thought the insert of that couple

who "knew" was absurd. You?

16. It was necessary for the hero's awakening to his quest

The movie follows the hero's cycle: he sacrifices a tooth. Why? Because any allegory of the hero's journey requires sacrifice, like Luke Skywalker losing his hand. It is only in this awakening that the hero discovers the extent of his powers and what he must do to transform the world into a safer place. From an allegorical perspective it makes perfect sense; it is the logic of myth and dreams.

9. We loved it!!

11. Actually saw it in the theater.

Remember those places?

I loved the movie. A friend who went with me had already seen it once, and she kept her mouth shut. She didn't spoil a thing for me. Anyone who's seen it knows what I'm talking about.

12. I really appreciated how good ...

the lyrics were.

Makes you think twice to hear just how good the Beatles music is.

13. It was a fun movie!

I caught it late at night on cable when staying at my sister's house (I don't have cable, myself).

(SPOILER ALERT!)

What I found quite astounding was how much the actor playing the hermit looked so exactly like how John Lennon would have looked had he lived to grow older.

15. That "hermit" scene blew me away

14. I'm sorry. I know I'm a bit slow. But could you let me know...

...what was the name of the cool movie about the Beatles that you saw yesterday?

Thanks and keep having fun!
