Today, let's talk about the British movie "Yesterday's Miracle".
The title of the film is Yesterday / All You Need is Love (2019), and the alias is from Yesterday (Hong Kong) / The King of Songs (Taiwan) / Yesterday / Yesterday / All You Need is Love.
When it comes to the two greatest bands in the UK, one is Queen and the other is The Beatles.
These two bands are the top representatives of the rock industry, and they must be very familiar to people who like rock music, and their songs are familiar to an elderly rock fan like me. It doesn't matter which of the two bands is first or second, because they are the greatest British bands. Some time ago, a "Bohemian Rhapsody" introduced Queen in the form of a biography. This year, it also took advantage of the Oscars to show a small hit in China, which has attracted many non-rock fans.
This "Miracle of Yesterday" uses another way and fans fondly remember the Beatles. Anyone who loves the Beatles will surely appreciate the good intentions of the main creative team in the film.
The biographical film can select several key moments of the band to show the audience the state of the band on and off the stage. The advantage of biopics is that the difficulty of creation is slightly lower, and the materials are basically ready-made. As long as the great legends are presented as they are, they can get good results.
There's just been a biopic about Queen, and it's a little out of place to have a biopic about the Beatles right after. Movies of the same type are easy to be compared, and they will even lead to wars among fans, diluting the effect of the movie.
So "Yesterday's Miracle" chose a way similar to time travel, using comedy language to describe a world without the Beatles.
The male protagonist Jack lives in a coastal town in the UK. He loves music, formed a band when he was in school, and worked in a supermarket as an adult. But he has never forgotten his musical dreams, often writing songs and participating in various music festivals.
And his fans are only Ellie, a childhood sweetheart friend. Ellie has been supporting Jack for more than ten years, going to concerts to perform, and sending "announcements" to relatives and friends. If Jack is the star, Ellie is the agent.
One mysterious night, there is a widespread power outage across the world, and the world is powered back on after a brief outage. When the power goes out, the world is dark, and when the lights go out, Jack, who is riding a bicycle, is hit by a bus.
Jack, who survived the car accident, woke up and found that the world was a little different. It seemed that important cultural symbols such as the Beatles did not exist, and no one in the world knew their songs.
How could the world be without the Beatles? Somewhere, Jack seems to have found his own mission, trying to remember the songs of the Beatles, and carry forward their songs, so that people all over the world can feel the charm of the Beatles.
Seeing such a plot outline, to make an inappropriate analogy, this film is like a happy twist comedy film "Shelot Trouble".
On the surface, it looks like a counterattack of an ordinary Luthor. People who were originally unhappy in life and feelings suddenly gained resources that can affect the world one day. When the status of the protagonist changed dramatically, jokes followed.
But how to make good use of the huge social resources has become the point of divergence in film creation. Compared with the utilitarian intentions written on the faces of the characters in "Charlotte Troubles", "Yesterday's Miracle" is more about fans' love for the Beatles.
True love will not be measured by money and material things, but by caring and caring from the heart. For the sake of fame or for the dissemination of music, this is the difference between the two films.
During the movie viewing, the audience will definitely be in a cold sweat for Jack, for fear that his little secret will be exposed.
It wasn't the billions of people around the world who forgot the Beatles songs during the bizarre blackout, but the very few fans who remembered The Beatles.
The blackout event is like switching on two parallel universes, one Earth with the Beatles and the other without the Beatles.
Jack was not the only one who was smashed into the new universe. There are many people who remember the Beatles who also hoped to reproduce the songs of the Beatles, but lacked the necessary ability and means.
A very important thing is to listen to the song or memorize the lyrics, otherwise you will just stare and worry.
What everyone has in common is that the love for the Beatles hasn't changed in the slightest. Being able to let more people hear and feel the charm of their beloved band is what a true music fan would do.
Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran plays Ed Sheeran in the film, nicknamed "Boss Yellow".
Both a music lover and a singer-songwriter, Boss Huang naturally knows the hardships of the creative road, and he can find the shining points in his works better than ordinary people.
In the creation of the battle, Boss Huang willingly conceded defeat is both level and graceful. People who really love music, when they discover creative geniuses, their first reaction is to discern talent. Boss Huang volunteered to provide Jack with a wider stage, further spreading the charm of the Beatles everywhere. This is a classic charm, and it is also the respect and admiration of the younger generation to the older generation. If put in another environment, the role of Boss Huang will definitely be set as the villain of intrigue and stumbling.
In the film "Yesterday's Miracle", all the more famous British cultural symbols were displayed and displayed. When spreading the charm of the Beatles, they did not forget to enhance the British cultural influence.
Needless to say, Queen, which has been filmed into "Bohemian Rhapsody", also has cultural symbols such as "Harry Potter" in the film. Those who are interested in British culture can find many interesting easter eggs in this film.
If, as depicted in the film, our world really does not have the Beatles, Coca-Cola, or Harry Potter, we will lose a lot of spiritual power invisibly.
Just like people who have never seen the outside world, they always think that everything around them is normal. Only those who have experienced many beautiful things can better discern the truth, goodness and beauty around them.
Let us cherish those beautiful things around us, if you don't have access to these beauty, you will never know what you are missing.
"You made it to 78."
If Lennon is still alive, of course, he is 78 years old as stated in the film.
There are always various crossroads in life, and the parties need to make their own judgments on how to choose. Just like loyalty and filial piety since ancient times cannot have both, fame and fortune and feelings are also full of contradictions. No matter which way, as long as you make a choice, you must go on firmly.
Otherwise, there will be gains and losses, and all kinds of suffering will only be known to you. What if I lose you and win the world?
The main point of the film has always been the Beatles, and the whole story is the Easter eggs of the Beatles.
If the audience is a fan of the Beatles, they will naturally enjoy it. Just as gamers can't help themselves when they see "Ready Player One", so can rock fans burst into tears when they see "Yesterday's Miracle."
Of course, if you are not a music fan and don't understand the story of the Beatles behind the film, passers-by audiences will naturally be unable to understand the emotions conveyed by the film, let alone resonate and move.
Just as "42" is the ultimate answer to the universe, the film says "Why 64?" "Is this still a problem? Of course it's 64."
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,
A world without the Beatles would be so boring.
