The Beatles that are not old, the feelings and classics that will not go away

I am very happy that a film related to the Beatles has been released in China. Although the popularity is very low and the attendance rate is not high, the whole viewing experience is quite good.

First, let me talk about some of my favorite points: 1. I still like the voice of the male protagonist very much. It has the feeling of mixing the voices of Lennon and Paul, plus a little sense of youth.

2. When Lennon came out, he really wanted to cry. When he saw the classic Lennon with white hair, medium-length hair, and round-rimmed glasses, it was really.... Live to seventy-eight years old" or something, some people in the movie theater are laughing, maybe most of them sound like a curse, but I know that it is a long-cherished wish of all fans, including the male lead and me. The reality is that his life is forever fixed on an evening in the 1980s.

3. Boss Huang's cameo & self-deprecating is very interesting. It is neither overwhelming nor boring, and it is quite terrifying. Boss Huang said in the play that he finally met someone more talented than himself, that's for sure, after all, the Beatles are the ultimate senior of Boss Huang! In reality, Boss Huang has great respect for the Beatles (the two who are still alive).

4. In the beginning, the part where the male protagonist plays his new song yesterday for his parents at home is too real. While the elders are listening to your performance, all kinds of little things keep going.... It's really frustrating when this happens so often.

5. The small details are very restored, and I pay tribute. It can be seen that the filmmaker has studied it (or maybe he already loves it), for example, the picture of the male protagonist getting out of the car and being chased by a group of female fans after becoming famous is basically the same as In a hard day night, the scene of four people being chased by female fans on the streets of New York is the same; there is also the scene where the male protagonist plays on the roof of the hotel at the end, paying tribute to the last open-air concert on the rooftop of let it be.

Then, let’s talk about what I don’t like: 1. The emotional scene is stinky and long, and it’s boring. I originally wanted to comment on “it has little effect on the plot”, but I thought of the scene where the male protagonist sees Lennon and the final Wembley Stadium. , um.... it still seems to work a bit? But I still think it's pretty much... cut out so many emotional scenes, or take a little less, and that's fine. The key is that the filming is not good. The boy with Gavin or whatever name is too miserable. First of all, he was with the heroine, and the hero immediately dumped him after expressing his feelings to the heroine? ? Come on, what's the meaning of this man's existence, it's just a prop to advance the plot...

Second, the second point is related to the first point, even if the male protagonist is a little bit good-looking, it's nothing to watch as a romantic movie! ! It's not what I said, the male protagonist's appearance is really.... Maybe I can't accept it, anyway, it's the kind of person who can find ten people on the street, and the female protagonist's kiss part, the skin color is poor, it's simply .....Why did you choose such a person to be the male lead?

3. It may be because the previous Bohemian Rhapsody was so good that I didn't realize that this is a film related to the Beatles, not their biographical film. Many times I just listen to a few lines of lyrics and then stop abruptly, instead of what I expected, a full version of a few songs, or a full first paragraph....Well, it's very uncomfortable in short (and My favorite while my guitar gently weeps is just one sentence, resentment)

In short, it's pretty good for those who like the Beatles to watch it. Listening to rock and roll in the cinema is really enough to make people teary-eyed; for those who don't like the Beatles.... There are so few films in this film, and it is also There won't be passers-by to see it, right? Ha ha ha ha

pay tribute

forever great beatles

    Richard Curtis's works after the peak of his life have always had good sentences and no good chapters, and the tune is just that. It looks comfortable, but it is not unforgettable.

    In a world without the Beatles, Oasis, Coca-Cola, cigarettes and Harry Potter, John Lennon lived to be 78 years old. Curtis, unfortunately, he is just as perfunctory as director Danny Boyle. It feels like he just pats it casually, and he doesn't want to do anything similar to [Pirate Radio] or [True Love Supreme]. There is a good skin. and an old soul. The Beatles have so many classic songs, and they didn't sing a few popular classics. As for this sloppy story, I couldn't read it from the second half. Commodities in the assembly line. But even if Danny Boyle pats it casually and uses 10% of his directing skills, it's still better than a joke film made by a blind JB like [Charlotte Annoyance].

Yesterday quotes

  • Jack Malik: Do I have to have an image?

    Debra Hammer: Well, if you don't have an image, then the lack of image becomes an image.

  • Leo (Russian Stranger): Okay, here's the plan. We're gonna take the five best songs, we'll put them online, right? No visuals, just the music. The enigma of Jack Malik. And then, we wait until we've fixed all of this, and we release an astonishing, era-defining double album that changes popular music forever.
