This should be our attitude towards the bad world now: be beautiful, kind, not hypocritical, optimistic, and brave

I watched the refreshing video "Miracle of Yesterday" and I really liked it.

At the beginning, I thought it was a story of a small British town. I thought to myself that the director handled the small British town too beautifully, but later moved to Moscow and Los Angeles and found that the shots were very beautiful. The director wanted to show the warm world full of love in the Beatles song. Especially at the moment, in this real fragmented world, reading all kinds of heartbreaking news, I instantly feel that the world described in this small film is so beautiful and so healing.

This film has a certain threshold. If you don't understand European and American pop culture, you can hardly get all kinds of humor. For example, the setting of this film is a world without "classic", so there is no Beatles and Oasis at all, but there is Coldplay, haha, it really blows them up. The most funny thing is that the actor wants Coca Cola. As a result, people in this world don't know what Coca-Cola is, only Pepsi, and then gave a close-up of Pepsi-I really don't know whether this implantation of Pepsi is a joy or a worry.

Like Coldplay’s Fix You stalk, Boss Huang’s cell phone ringtones, Moscow people’s attitude towards nightclubs, Lady Gaga’s jokes, and the cheap, fake and funny work style of the Los Angeles agent, Hey Jude becomes Hey Dude. Let It Be becomes Leave It Be, these are all jokes-but people who don’t understand European and American pop culture will not experience it at all, not to mention the actor’s search for Oasis and the Wall, and Rose Garden and Abbey Street. , The small details of the yellow submarine.

I’m not a Beatle fan. I’ve never heard many of the songs in the movie, but when "Let It Be" came out, it seemed to be drawn back to college time. I remembered that Sister Xiaolan taught us to sing in the listening class. Tell us what Mother Mary's allusion looks like. It seems to be in Yesterday, it's so simple and beautiful.

This is also the main theme of this story: to build a simple, beautiful, and loving world. Then it is intertwined with the hero's bravery, honesty, and sincerity, as well as his simple and beautiful love with the heroine, which corroborates the scenes in the Beatles. The most touching thing is that in this world, John Lennon did not die. He lived to be 76 years old. The male protagonist found him and described his ideal world to him.

Another touching place is that two other people in the world who remember the Beatles did everything possible to find the male protagonist. The protagonist was very guilty, but the eldest sister said to him: "We want to thank you. We miss the Beatles. But we can't sing. You sing it so that we don't forget the Beatles."

"The world with the Beatles' songs is the beautiful world," she said. Seeing here is almost in tears. No matter how bad the world is, some people still want it to be better.

My favorite is the ending of this film. It didn't make the male pig's feet hit by a bus again, and hit back into this normal world. There is still no Beatles in his world, there is still no Coca-Cola, and there is still no Harry Potter, but he happily continues to live in this world without classics.

This should also be our attitude towards the current bad world: being beautiful, kind, not hypocritical, optimistic, and courageous.
