The Beatles

I loved Yesterday!

[ladyboy]

There's some kids' show that has Beatles songs in it, introducing them to the next generation too. Unfortunately the songs are redone in a cartoony way, so they become a bit crap, but still better than much of the dreck on the kids' channels.

Yesterday was a fun movie.

Could have sworn I had already posted that I thought Yesterday was a great little fun film , I might give it another watch soon.

Off Topic: The produces of Yesterday created an awesome film featuring the music of "The Boss", Bruce Springsteen called Blinded by the Light. I highly recommend, even if one isn't a big fan of the man from Jersey.

On Topic: I prefer The Beatles' members solo music to their collaborative efforts. I think they all grew as artists once they were no longer tethered together as icons.

I’ll give a second recommendation for Blinded by The Light, another gem of a film.

That film is hella underrated.
I’m not even a big fan of Bruce Springsteen, but I thought it was done incredibly well.

I was intrigued by the concept, but I think the film Yesterday really fell flat on its promise. It was much more focused on the romance, which is uninteresting. The central character is incredibly uncharismatic to me, and the female love interest is a lovesick doormat. It’s also a movie that undermines its own premise: it seems that barring some few arbitrary changes (no Coca-Cola or cigarettes?), the music world is still the pretty much the same without the Beatles existing (Radiohead, Coldplay, cameo appearance by Ed Sheeran, the bloody Rolling Stones!). I’m not even a big Oasis fan, but I thought the erasure of their existence was a credible cheap joke considering how much of the Britpop invasion of the 1990s were heavily reliant on referencing the Beatles (Chemical Brothers, etc.).

Thank you. It’s on Netflix so adding it to my queue!
