The greatest band in the world was white

Unironically this is.
The guy is gonna be shown to be really conflicted about being a hack and taking the credit for their songs.

I didn't like slumdog millionaire but this movie can't be worse than that right?.

>Implying Beatles songs would be popular in the age of trap and overproduced electropop
lmao at most he'd be an underground folk artist with a cult following

>uses a sitar while smokes hash
>very inspired
They were more influenced by Elvis and I dont see them claiming the spiritual depth of cheese and peanut butter sandwiches

Have you listen to Within You Without You, The Inner Light, Love You To, Tomorrow Never Knows, etc? There's zero Elvis in those.

The movie probably won't explore the more interesting topic of if the songs are good on their own, or people just accept they're good because it has the Beatles name on them. It apparently assumes every Beatles song is an indisputed masterpiece

What fucking debt Danny Boyle contracted to direct such infectous retard movie? Was Trainspotting 2 that box office poison? It shouldn't have been expensive to make, wtf

A B-series actress was the songwriter of many of Elvis songs.

This movie is going to pretend like the Beatles were the greatest songwriters, as if Bob Dylan doesn't exist.

Anyone who only knows radio Bealtes hits,. sound off. I'll start: I don't know or like this band, I'm 30.

He dropped Bond 25 for this

Ok

This. The first half of the Beatles discography is very generic. The second half of their discography would sound like shit if you were just playing it on an acoustic guitar. All of the instrumentation and sound design would be gone. All you'd half left is a black guy strumming about mustard, LSD and the revolution.

I still cannot believe this was greenlit. Every hack musician has a fantasy like this but it'd be total bullshit in practice. All those Beatles songs were products of their time's musical trends. If I isekaied into a 2019 where Elvis never existed, I'd never get off the fucking ground because rock and roll would've evolved 60 years since.

George could've gotten away with it

Beatles songs are pretty hard to play even before they became a studio band. I guess the poo must be talented if he can remember and reproduce the arrangements by ear.

Exactly.

You have no idea about American music's influence on the world.

The plot is literally explained in the trailers.
One day the Beatles suddenly never existed and only the one who remembers them is the main character.

Feels like one of them dumb ideas you have in your head but would be terrible actually carried out.

Where did I deny it? At the end of the day no succeeding generation will *ever* show the mass hysteria obsession with them that the Boomers developed.

>Ripping off We Are The Beatles so shamelessly
As always, Gorious Nippon did it better.

Danny Boyle makes mostly bad movies
He has two good ones, and a pile of absolute trash

That fucking Olympic ceremony was a hot shit too

The plot makes no sense because music history would be very different without The Beatles.

It seems like every movie that comes out recently that isn't a sequel or remake is the kind of stuff you would see on a "Top 10 Movies That Could Never Be Made" or "Top 10 Movies Stuck in Development Hell".

A boy falls in love with a girl.
Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the heretofore unknown discography of The Beatles. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she loves him yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's not what you said. What you said was:
>its Boomerbait for Boomers that sincerely want to believe that the non-whites replacing them will give a shit about Boomershit like the Beatles
Non-whites fucking love American music. They looooooooove it.

Don't be retarded.

>"The Beatles", dubbed as such by their hostages because of their English accents, was an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant(ISIL) militant group. Its members were nicknamed "John", "Paul", "George", and "Ringo" by the hostages, after the four members of the British rock group the Beatles. In November 2015, one of the militants was killed and one was arrested, and the final two were caught in early 2018
Sounds like a great premise

>a movie of people experiencing nostalgia for a time that, to them, never existed, but they feel internally that surely it must have
Kinograph.

Isn't this an isekai?

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved. In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.

yeah pretty much

depends on if george martin still exists or not

Not entirely. As part of the british invasion there were bands that outsold Beatles in the USA. And generally speaking The Kinks left a much larger imprint in pop rock

>The Kinks left a much larger imprint in pop rock
>(not true, by the way)

The writer is white

>Today, only Jack remembers their songs

This is the part of the movie I don’t understand at all. Especially since a big reason the Beatles got popular was because of how things were at the time.

At least way until Paul and Ringo die you fucking boomers.
