I'd much prefer this. The Beatles are mainly beloved for what they did for music. If they didn't exist music would not be the same today, which makes this film paradoxical. And if they *were* to somehow never have existed and started out today, their music wouldn't be as big as it was. Music has moved on from that era. I and many others would like the music but they would not be the global phenomenon they were. And that's where the film loses me.

Luckily I remember every individual time I first heard each Beatles song I've listened to. That was because I'd be listening to the radio on a car journey and the music would come on the radio and I'd be completely transfixed by it. I would ask my dad what the song was and who it was by and it would always be The Beatles. Edit: The first Beatles song I ever heard was The Fool on the Hill.

Lily was able to feel genuine emotion, even though she already knew the song. She was able to interpret a person who had really heard Yesterday for the first time. Watch her as Malik stares at the guitar in its case. She's perfect, flawless.

A very nice movie - but thinking about it more deeply it brings home to me how privileged I was to grow up in a world where the Beatles DID exist. I was 13 when Love Me Do was released, which I remember very well - along with all their other releases.

"Love Me Do" was the first Beatles song I heard. I was in second grade and the cute girl next door, my closest childhood friend, played it for me while we were sitting on a couch listening to records in her living room. I was hooked from the first harmonica blast.

This movie was so brilliant because it allowed us, for a short time, to imagine the pure excitement of hearing the music of the Beatles for the first time, something that my mother got to experience but I didn't, having been born a few years after they broke up. It was a lovely feeling, that's for sure. I'm glad I saw this.

"It's not bloody 'Fix You,' Carol!" LOL! Also, I just love the wider shots of life going on while he is singing. The music of The Beatles is just naturally a part of so many of our lives, I think those shots illustrate that.

I believe the best part of the movie is listening to these songs and helping not take these songs for granted. Reliving Hearing them for the first time.first

A ‘simple’ movie but very enjoyable to watch, beautiful and emotional. People’s first reactions to hearing Yesterday, The Long And Winding Road, or Something (deleted scene, do yourself a favour and get the DVD to see it) are amazing. Plus his singing of Help, his meeting John who lives an anonymous life… Many great moments!

Another message we see in this movie. She is supportive of her man. Regardless of what others think she supports him, cares for him. Too bad so many women today only care about themselves.

I loved this movie from the first time I saw it. I bought it so that I could drift into this mystical vision, whenever I felt the need....which is often. When "John" opens the door, it makes my heart pound, each time I watch it. Brilliant storyline, brilliantly acted and an ending we can only wish was true.

This scene was really nicely shot. Especially when they showed scenes from the area, not just focusing it on fhe people at the table. It grounds the scene in the real world and maybe reminds us of a particular time when we heard Yesterday and it had a special resonance for us. Also, this was the first time I really was struck by Lily James' loveliness - probably because she was in everyday clothes and she sparkled in them anyway.

A world without the Beatles actually did exist for billions of years.. and we are the lucky ones to be in an era where we actually play it whenever we want for free.

This is exactly the kind of movies that should be made more... Easily in my top ten.

I would be very sad if I knew I lived in a world without the Beatles. I listen to them every week.

That last scene in the rain is pretty much the trailer for the whole movie. And, not for nothing, the movie is an allegory for art: what happens when you see, hear, or know something that you feel obligated must be released into the world.

I used to have this theory that Ed Sheeran was actually a time traveler who came back in time to write/perform popular songs before their actual artists could think them up -- because his songs vary and can sound like other popular artists of this generation. So to see him in this movie about someone stealing Beatles songs in their absence felt like a real rubbing-it-in-your-face move by Ed.

Based on the number of comments praising this movie I don't think it is as much of an unpopular opinion as I once thought - I love this movie and this scene. It is a fantastic way to show what it's like hearing The Beatles (in general) and Yesterday (in particular) for the first time. The acting by the ladies is amazing.
