Uma ótimo argumento transformado em um amontoado de clichês narrativos sem qualquer inspiração estética.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie has an unbelievable boring story. It's just the normal "successless musicians stuck with a **** job trying to get known and dreaminf about playing the biggest gigs in history" with the name "the beatles" attached to it.

The charakters are wirtten pretty bad, there's no depth to them. His best friends are sometimes there and say a couple of sentences ( it was mostly the same bad running gag) and the girl he loves comes by, says he loves him but blablabla and goes away again. This repeats 4 or 5 times and thats it.

Also the plot has a lot of holes?! Why do the beatles disappar? Maybe some of you are fine that it doesnt get explained but i think it would be important.
Why do things barely related to the beatles disappear, even though they existed before the beatles and why do other things which relate to them more directly dont disappear?

Well would watch it again and i would recommend it to anyone, exept your a super big beatler fan. But i also dont think its the movie ever beatles fan dremt of all the time.

*Spoiler*

The movie has some scene which feel like they were just added to it because it might be good and why not? I talk about the russian guy and the blond british lady. I was actually hoping that there comes some sort of conflict or they would at least explain what happened during the black out but the scene after the concert was just a big disappointment and completely irrelevant.… Expand

Probably the worst script of movie history. Boyle confirms his incapacity to understand if he's doing something good or wrong. An amateur.
One of the worst movies of my life. You have the Beatles music in your movie, and you write this? My god.

Extremely bad script built, a great idea worse executed and in the end looks more like a movie about Ed Sheeran.

Yesterday (2019)

Sinopsis:

Jack Malik es un cantautor británico que sueña con la fama y cuenta con el apoyo incondicional de su amiga Ellie. Tras un accidente, Jack se da cuenta que es la única persona que puede recordar a los Beatles.

Opinión:

De partida no quería ver esta película porque la trama me parecía absurda y un poco infantil, pero me empezó a picar el gusanito y decidí arriesgarme, lo cual resultó en un error fatal.
Para mi fue una completa basura, debo mencionar que no me gustan The Beatles, pero reconozco su trayectoria e impacto cultural y encontré de muy mal gusto que usaran su nombre en una historia tan ridícula, ya sea, un mundo donde obviamente todos conocen a la banda y al otro día solo el protagonista los conoce y canta sus canciones haciéndose famoso, sinceramente mi mente solo sabía procesar rechazo y mas rechazo, además la dupla principal tampoco ayuda a que la experiencia sea amena por lo menos, el tipo que ni recuerdo su nombre es tan buen actor como yo un buen dibujante (no se dibujar) y la amiga del mismo, una tal Lily James tiene el carisma y simpatía de un insecticida sin mencionar que ella misma no se la pudo siendo Cenicienta en la película homónima tal cual tampoco Emma Watson en La Bella y la Bestia.

Entre Cats y Yesterday, prefiero que me viole un hámster.

Conversations in the movie are interrupted about twenty times by a phone ringing or someone walking in to the room by accident. It became hilarious how often this happened. Yesterday is the kind of movie that is so poorly written and triteConversations in the movie are interrupted about twenty times by a phone ringing or someone walking in to the room by accident. It became hilarious how often this happened. Yesterday is the kind of movie that is so poorly written and trite that it takes an act of will to make it through. The only reason plot lines aren't sewn up quickly is because the main character is made to stutter when trying to express himself. If he, or anyone else, is about to say something meaningful they're interrupted. Yesterday takes the easy, predictable route at every turn. This was a concept in the ledger of a corporate studio exec, thrown out to a group of staff writers who cranked it out never daring to touch a risk, introspection, or explain much of anything.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I always had the intention of hate-watching this movie. From the first time I saw the trailer months ago, it seemed clear that someone in some business room in New York had written down a hipster trash madlib five minutes before their pitch-meeting and this was the outcome. Beatles music slash quirky actors slash scenario in which everyone gets to act like they’re discovering said Beatles music for the first time in 2019 seems like some pretty obvious chummed water for thirsty clout-chasers (thanks teenager who taught me that term last week) like myself. Anyway, Wife and Friend were too stupid to avoid it, so I went to roll my eyes and drunkenly heckle the screen.

The trailers were ominous for this one: actually showed the trailer for Yesterday ten minutes before we saw it. People in the audience were audibly upset. One man shouted something like, “Is this what they do in movies now? Show you the movie before you see the movie?” And then instead of Yesterday, we got the first three minutes of The Dead Don’t Die, as if the universe was telling us it would be better if you didn’t.

In short, the trailer is the movie. There is no twist, no mind-bending rabbit hole you have to follow, nothing to untangle. If we can move into spoiler territory for a moment, some annoyances: 1) Wonderwall is missing from their new world, but is never covered by Jack, 2) the film never deals with any of the gaping plot holes of multiverse concept it’s created for itself, e.g. if Wonderwall doesn’t exist how do Jack and Ellie meet each other in middle school when Ellie is his manager for the Wonderwall cover?, and–this was always my big bugbear–3) how do we have modern pop culture and pop music without the influence of the Beatles in the first place?

After having had a few weeks to stew over this, why is Ed Sheeran billed as the Salieri of songwriting? I feel like it’s probably supposed to be pretty tongue-in-cheek, but why do they have an impromptu songwriting competition after ten minutes? Is that how real music is written?

I like the idea that the magic of the film gives Jack a way of dealing with every artist’s feelings of imposter syndrome, but in his case his feelings of inadequacy are actually about being an imposter, not just by feeling like one. The ending is clearly an old man’s understanding of the internet and how music sharing works, as Friend says. “I will release all these files as downloads for you to share for free” is the fairy godmother ending of someone who willfully misunderstandings the way that Jack’s label will sue his ass for copyright infringement till kingdom come.

Friend and Wife agreed that the film wouldn’t have been able to stand on its own without Beatles music, which is all the confirmation I needed for its bogus premise. Hard pass.

Vanity Fair confirmed my feelings with some passive aggressive questions. It correctly notes the weird tone deafness of Saw Her Standing There and odd romcom trope of Megging the main character so that we must imagine him uglier than he actually is.… Expand

But it ended up being my 2nd least favorite movie of the year right next to CATS (Which is also a Working Title film.) Yesterday is a boring and broken film that is a waste of an interesting premise. Even with its solid performances and charm, it does not make up for the confusing story, bad jokes, forgettable characters, slow pacing, and terrible writing choices (Ed Sheeran is in this movie for no reason other than "OoH lOoK iT's Ed ShEeRaN eVeRyBoDy"). Also, the ending just pisses me off in so many ways. Yea it's a cute ending with Jack revealing the truth and showing his love for his girlfriend... BUT.

It never shows how Jack ended up in this story after the accident. Was he in a coma? Did he somehow wake up to another universe (Maybe Aliens were involved somehow)? Did God just wipe everyone's memories out? IDK. It's. Never. Answered. I get that it's a fantasy, but you gotta at least give some sort of explanation on this, otherwise, it's just going to be confusing for everybody. But even if that wasn't a problem, the rest of the film would be an unfunny and confusing mess of a movie. I guess I would recommend it if you're a Beatles fan, but for others... Go watch Rocketman instead.… Expand

If the world really didA bit annoyed by how much this movie absolutely worships the music of the Beatles. Yes, their music is great, catchy, and timeless, but it was so much more than just their music that made them the sensation they were. If the world really did forget the Beatles except for one rando failing man and that man started performing their music, I'm sorry but I just don't believe their music alone would cast a spell on everyone that heard it and elevate that man to stardom. There was an opportunity here to show the real struggle of independent musicians and artists. That even with songs that have the potential to be loved around the world, it takes a LOT more than that to achieve Beatles-level success, namely a lot of luck and a lot of connections. A movie with this premise could have shared the lesser known story of the failing artist with an audience that came to the movie wanting to see music they love. That love of the music would have put the films audience directly into the same level of frustration as the character would have been in. Instead, we got another movie that worships The Beatles. That's fine I guess, but this premise could have been so much more. I didn't like or side with any of the characters and the film clearly wanted me to. Also, there was far too much Ed Sheeran music for a Beatles movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film isn't insulting to the audience, it's not full to the brim with bad acting and it's not bastardised with poorly timed jokes which barely land. It's not an objectively 'bad' film - it's just incredibly boring and is laced with equally boring, overused, idiotic tropes.

I can see why others might've enjoyed the film, hell, I watched it with 2 friends who liked it. But I find that nitpickers and overthinkers, like myself, easily find themselves asking questions such as: "Why is there only 3 people who remember The Beatles and do they have any significance?", "How alien, unrealistic and trope-heavy could that love interest get?", and "How the ever-loving **** did they get that yellow submarine?".

I found the main character to be boring and with no proper, specific characteristics; the side characters unnecessary and annoying; and the antagonist to be childish and pertaining to a caricature (though this was likely intended to be a well-deserved jab at the buisnessmen behind the music industry).

The scene near the end of the film when the love interest drops her back-up love interest for her main love interest so that the protagonist could have a 'satisfying' conclusion to the b-plot is nothing short of confusing and completely unrealistic, Jesus that was a mouthful.

Anyway yeah, it was pretty **** would never watch again but I'm happy I got to be mad over something.

(Ok last thing but there was no reason for the film to be called 'Yesterday' - to make that decision more concrete they should've made the protagonist play it during his final concert, and perhaps instead of Wonderwall during his flashback - that would've made the film feel more intact and cohesive, whilst giving a reason (although weak) as to why The Beatles was the specific band to be 'forgotten': because it's directly special to him).… Expand
