Yesterday

[Jung Roe]

I saw the trailer.  Looks fun!  “Hey Dude” cracks me up. ?

A few years ago Paul McCartney said, perhaps jokingly, that some younger fans think that’s actually the name of the song.

The moment in the trailer when the guy looks up “Beatles” on the Internet and finds only “beetles” reminds me of looking up MLT on Wikipedia and finding only, shall we say, crickets.

Not to give anything away, but the Beatles aren’t the only things this alternate earth has never heard of.

Saw the movie earlier tonight… Thumbs Up… Chuckles throughout and definitely was thinking MLT throughout it… A must go see… Highlyvreccomend it… Good casting too!!

Saw the movie, and I really think it’s a must see for anybody, let alone Beatles fans. Though for those that are not Beatles fans, they may be a grouch, so not sure what they’ll enjoy. 🙂

I thought it was great that all the singing was done “live”, meaning that they didn’t record in a studio and then lip-synced. They recorded it all on set. A few takes sure, but it shows Himesh Patel (the lead) is a good singer/performer. Obviously Ed Sheeran is as well. I loved all the actors, Kate McKinnon had me rolling with laughter.

I feel it as a love letter to the Beatles, and not surprisingly the critics trashed it, but it was sweet and wonderful (Magical? Fab?).

On a side note, without spoiling the movie plot, I don’t think that if I were the one to re-write the Beatles songs I could produce more than one or two. Can anyone sit down and write the whole lyrics and the chords to their songs? Can you write down the full lyrics to “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite” by heart? I failed miserably.
