>Danny Boyle has refused to cut Oasis scene despite requests from American distributors
>In "Yesterday", the pivotal moment in which failed thirty-four year old singer-songwriter Jack Malik first discovers that the Beatles never existed starts with a five minute scene about the rock group Oasis. When Jack is about to bomb yet another open mic performance, he decides to bust out a version of Oasis' oft-covered 1995 mega-hit "Wonderwall" - to no avail. Disappointed at the flat response to what is usually a show-saving mass sing-a-long number, Jack walks off stage dejected and blames it on his own lack of talent.
>Post-show, his best friend Ellie mentions she loved the last song and inquires if he had written it himself. An upset Jack assumes she's mocking him and tells her to "piss off" before realizing she was being genuine - she didn't know "Wonderwall". Jack then becomes incredulous: "What do you mean you never heard that before? We all saw Oasis at Reading! Are you mad?". When she proclaims to have never heard of Oasis, Jack plays the choruses to several of their songs on his acoustic guitar to jog her memory - "Don't Look Back in Anger", "Live Forever", "Champagne Supernova", but Ellie is unmoved.
>Jack then races home and does a Google search for "Oasis" which turns up nothing. Incredibly confused, he then searches for the band that Oasis were famously compared to during their rise to fame - The Beatles - only to find that they never existed.
>This expositional scene was one of the first big belly laugh moments of the film in early showings. It reportedly aroused positive response from audience members, particularly in England, where Manchester-based Oasis was the biggest musical and cultural phenomenon of the mid-1990s. Here, the Beatles-influenced, Manchester-based band racked up eight #1 hits (though "Wonderwall" would only peak at #2) before their demise in 2009, received years of tabloid coverage revolving around the exploits and squabbles of Liam and Noel Gallagher, and an ever-growing following of younger fans which now fuels the post-Oasis solo careers of the two brothers.
>However, the sequence had the opposite effect. At it's Tribeca Film Festival screening in New York City, it elicited practically no reaction at all, save for what some reported as "confused murmuring" in audience. Early test screenings in both large and small markets across America, too, found that many participants did not find the scene funny and were confused over its purpose. When queried, the vast majority of these respondents stated they were totally unfamiliar with the song "Wonderwall", much less the band Oasis itself and their other songs included in the sequence. Additionally, multiple responses were unsure whether Oasis and these songs were real or a fictional part of the film's universe.
Easton Roberts
>Representatives from the film's American distributors, Universal Pictures, were reportedly "incredibly displeased" about this portion of the film, which was derided as "extraneous" and "needlessly challenging" for American audiences. Last minute demands for director Danny Boyle and his team of producers to entirely eliminate and reshoot the scene for the American cut were steadfastly ignored, much to Universal's chagrin. Sources on the inside say that tensions between the creative team and it's financers have only continued to grow and the film's move from a September to June opening was in part due to fears of a stateside flop as "Yesterday" receives mixed reviews.
Joseph Green
Look! It's a fossilized wad of spit from the holiest saints whoever lived, the all-important Boomers!
Nathan Martinez
I remember Oasis.
Also, the beatles suck and Elvis is much better.
Gabriel Scott
based Americans Oasis is shit
Mason Miller
Pulp are better than both Oasis and Blur and Common People is better than all of their songs combined.
Oasis literally based their entire career on the Beatles' 65-66 sound. Specifically the song Rain.
Jace Howard
>YOU NEVER SHOW ME YOUR VAGENE >YOU OUGHT TO SHOW ME BOTH BOB AND VAGENE >AND IN THE MIDDLE OF PUBLIC PLACES >I SHIT ON THE GROUND
Jayden Diaz
First two Oasis albums were unironically great
Liam Carter
They did cut it though, that never actually happens in the movie, the only mention of Wonderwall is that he played it at a middle school talent show It was the right choice too, you can't expect your entire global audience to care about a one hit wonder from 25 years ago. The connection between The Beatles and Oasis is already non-existent for anyone who doesn't live in a surveillance state
Luke Lewis
Aussie here, how the fuck does yanks not know at least wonderwall?
Jaxson Turner
His love interest is a pretty white girl who was unironically his childhood friend who loved him all along despite the fact that the's just some loser who lives with his parents and had a failed music career
Gabriel Adams
I feel like Wonderwall got replaced by Mr. Brightside as the quintessential teen angst pop song
William Davis
SOOOOO SNEEDY CAN WAIT CHUCK KNOWS ITS TOO LATE
Camden Green
This movie is pure boomer wank. Nobody gives a fuck about The Beatles anymore.
Justin Cook
that and Ana de Armas. Not such an easy choice now innit
Dylan Cox
>it’s a “south Asian dude fetishizes white American girls” episode Hard pass lmao
Bentley Edwards
>white American girls Fucking brainlet yanks at it again. Truly the shittiest hour of Yea Forums
>playing Wonderwall in the car one day >mom asks if it's some new band >this was in 2008 It kind of blew my mind that people don't know them.
Blake Reyes
How the fuck do you not know Wonderwall at the very least? Also their whole thing was Beatles worship. And one hit wonder? Really? Nobody ever heard Champagne Supernova? Did any of you actually live through the 90s?
Anthony Butler
>Late Night doesn't exist It shit, but still.
Alexander Russell
Amerifat here. Never heard of it. Doesn't Oasis have a one-armed drummer?
Samuel Ward
What the fuck?
How do you not know Oasis? Anyone who has been to a bar on karaoke night at least knows Champagne Supernova and Wonderwall.
Maybe it's just not that funny? Regardless, let the filmmaker have his cut and if it flops it's on him. Cutting one minor scene isn't going to suddenly make the film a hit. Let Danny Boyle make his grave if he wants to lie in it.
Gavin Brown
This premise is fucking terrible
Colton Long
literally this you were not a white suburban american in the mid-90s without encountering oasis. mtv and alternative stations played them to death.
Jacob Price
Reminder that Noel Gallagher was the best pop songwriter of the 90's, by a mile. Only a fucking retarded piece of shit would dismiss him
Easton Morales
Saw it tonight, they cut it. At least in South East Burgerstan.
He does search Oasis after not finding The Beatles and they don't exist either and he mutters 'of course' or something to that effect.
Connor Morris
Seems to me that it is a fake article that morons keep falling for every day
Noah Smith
still a pointless joke that nobody in america would ever get
Grayson Lee
That's like saying he was the smartest contestant in the special olympics by a mile.
Alexander Perry
wait, was oasis the one that had the song that went >WOO-HOO AND I'M PINS AND I'M NEEDLES
Christian Thompson
Fuck off nigger
Hudson Ross
So spoil it, who are the guys that show up on Corden? Paul and Ringo?
Jason Mitchell
Are you going to post this thread every fucking day you pathetic shill? This is the third I've seen. Stop trying to manufacture discussion about that shitty movie.
Jose Clark
Its a dream and they don't get any more screentime than their feet being shown in the trailer
Lucas Garcia
Blur wrote Song 2 which has the chorus “Woo hoo when I feel heavy metal!”
Juan Young
For the benefit of mister kike There will be pajeet tonight On silverscreen
>Its a dream and they don't get any more screentime than their feet being shown in the trailer EVERYTHING was a dream?
Brandon Wilson
No, just that talk show segment.
Andrew Parker
So america didn't get hung up on a shitty, 90's pop group like the rest of the english speaking world apparently did and...?
What? We're stupid or something? Oasis were popular here to an extent, but the era was ruled by bubblegum pop and radio friendly hard rock and metal acts.
Honestly, a mush more money making band like Korn or even Manson could probably still ellicit a similar response by now. The 90's ended 20 years ago, and all.
Charles Russell
So how does it end? Pajeet claims songwriting credits for all the Beatles songs? That's one hellish dystopian nightmare
Josiah Turner
No, he meets John lennon and then decides to confess to the whole fraud at an Ed Shereen concert at Wembly stadium. He then uploads all the music to the net for free.
Grayson Lewis
>pajeet lead >about a band that only boomers fellate and actually were not that good How did this movie fail??????
Yes, Satan, i would not lie to you. he marries the girl and they have mixed race babbies and the movie ends with him playing Ob la Di Ob la Da to a bunch of gradeschoolers, I guess because she was a math teacher and he used to be a music teacher.
Dominic Lopez
>He then uploads all the music to the net for free. Is this supposed to be some epic redemption or something? I'm sure people could've gotten it for free before that because music piracy, what did the ending mean by this?
Jayden Turner
John leads a normal life and retired to a seaside cottage, having never become a famous rockstar. It's kinda hinted that he had a long life with Yoko but she died at some point.
Aiden Thompson
how has Danny not gotten over his India faze it's been 10 fucking years bud we get it you love India
Austin Morris
This was bullshit, it’s not even really clear it was a dream at first, but then when the movie continues without bringing it up again you just figure it never happened. I was looking forward to this movie and thought it was a complete waste, except the scene where he finds out John Lennon got isekaied after the shooting and has been living a fulfilling life by the sea with his dog is the most surprising and beautiful moment in a movie I’ve seen all year.
Jose Murphy
>Is this supposed to be some epic redemption or something? Oh absolutely, the crowd was booing hard after he admits he didn't write shit and then they all cheer and love him again as soon as he says he's giving the album away and won't take any money for it.
Nathaniel Parker
Really, they cast somebody who could sing well and play different instruments. That’s all it is. The fact he looks unimpressive kind of works for the role anyway.
Mason Thomas
Guess he woke up in a universe without piracy as well, shit sounds retarded
Cigarettes, Coca Cola, and Harry Potter also don't exist.
Eli Lee
Is there a camrip of this anywhere yet?
William Ross
I want to wake up in a universe where Emma Watson and Emma Stone are my personal sex slaves. They don't require food or water and they hate every single man on the planet besides me.
Tyler Cox
Midwest American here. I literally have a framed Oasis poster in my den. These fags are either lying or dumb.
Chase Brown
I can name 7 bands from Manchester better than oasis
If you weren't paying attention to alternative rock in the late 90s you wouldn't know who Oasis is. It's like expecting the entire audience to know Smashing Pumpkins.
It seems silly to cut the scene, though. Are they trying to get this movie to make $8.25M instead of $8.249M?
Bentley Anderson
go to bed Noel
Jack Fisher
more like Go Awaysis lmaooo
Asher Rivera
Bizarre
I was just wondering, shouldn't Michael Jackson's IP be public domain now that he's dead?
Christian White
I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna go bust out the old boom box and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? on cassette tape.
I thought oasis was popular in america. This movies premise is shit anyways
Parker Young
holy shit, that is fucking stupid I'm never seeing this now
Jeremiah Johnson
their first two albums sound like an updated Revolver with Sgt. Pepper scope
Brayden Morales
So both Oasis and the Beatles never existed in this movie? Why complicate the premise for a clumsy joke?
Kayden Foster
The Dead Don't Die out now
>Elvis is much better. Aaron sold out before he could make actual kino If he never went to hollywood and spent the next 10 years in sun studios finding the line between blues and country, then we can talk
Charles Campbell
Oasis sold more albums in the UK than the USA even though the USA has 6 times as many people.
Wyatt Nelson
Oasis are great you stupid fucking Yanks. What good music did America make in the 90s?
In the 90s they did. Don't ask a zoomer what it is though
Sebastian Davis
Nirvana?
Justin Harris
nb4 implying Nirvana was good here it comes
Leo Powell
It's getting better man is one of their best songs
Angel Edwards
>I thought oasis was popular in america they were in 96/97 not huge but popular IEven today I still sometimes hear Don't Look Back in Anger in bars and shit and people will drunkenly sing along
Xavier Wood
>If you weren't paying attention to alternative rock in the late 90s you wouldn't know who Oasis is. Wonderwall definitely crossed over in a huge way though. And alt rock was still decently big. Any white person who was under 30 and over like 11 in mid 90s knows the smashing pumpkins. they were on mtv so damn much.
Wyatt Young
>IEven today I still sometimes hear Don't Look Back in Anger in bars and shit and people will drunkenly sing along
no they dont you lying bitch because nobody in america has ever heard that song before
the only remote hit they ever had was wonderwall and that wasnt even that big at all. it was a niche thing at best that later became a meme.
they almost had another minor song about getting high played on some rock stations but that never went anywhere and literally nobody remembers it anymore.
Ethan Bell
I always wondered who did Wonderwall...
Jose Martin
Americans deserve top be shot
Angel Reed
why is danny boyle obsessed with pajeets?

It's literally the B story from Hot Tub Time Machine, lol.
Nathaniel Sanders
It wasn't even really a B plot. It was more of a joke they made during the credits

Ethan Cooper
Jarvis does the chorus on that version too, so he really owns both.
Caleb Brooks
>It wasn't even really a B plot. It was more of a joke they made during the credits
I guess it was featured more in HTTM #2. He steals Lisa Loeb's song but hires her on as a cat wrangler?
Ayden Richardson
Underrated album, don't know why people shit on it.
>Isn't this music wonderful the movie!!! >This famous internationally known musician inspires my life!!!! >Full scene analyzes how beautiful a part of a song is I love fucking music and this shit makes me cringe so fucking hard. all these films are is a wankfest.

You already made this thread, word for word.
Evan Cox
agreed it's like some pretentious hipster being ironic singing about fucking commoners. like it's an absolute joke. who the fuck would listen to that in their spare time thinkin its cool?
Adam Williams
And the Stone Roses shat on all of them from a great height. They were right at the forefront of that new UK sound and thus too early to cash in on it like the masters of the nagging fucking chorus were.
Thanks to Danny Boyle for cutting Ana De Armas out of the movie so I don't have to see it.
Easton Brooks
They loved the Beatles to such an extent they named their kids after them and dressed just like them
Nicholas Moore
What's with the stinky protagonist?
Noah Thompson
Americans have absolute garbage taste in music.
Nothing surprising here.
Jeremiah Gray
the thing is that indian guy could stil get that girl, whereas if the genders were reversed it would be less likely, an asian girl would try and marry a solicitor or doctor.
Anthony Garcia
I guessed that when the it starts when he gets hit by a car
Nah, you old bro, it was "I Wanna Be A Cowboy" that replaced Wonderwall.
Asher Lewis
Well that doesn’t make sense at all since Yoko was a starfucker and Paul sent her to his house as a joke, the idea that she would have any interest in regular-bloke John is the silliest thing about this movie so far.
Evan Williams
Quintessentially boomer "feelz" movie
>The Beatles! Greatest music ever! >Sung by a street shitter! How inclusive and diverse! >Quick...we need to rush this to theaters before our coffin dodging demographic disappears.
Fuck Boyle, he made much good shit, but has become too woke of late.
John Wright
Gen X burger here....don't "hate" Oasis, just done't see what the fuss was all about. In truth just hate the 90's "Cool Britannia....I wanna suck Tony Blair off in an alley" cultural invasion. That was the point when the UK turned full on cuck.
We really should have paid to keep the Soviet Union around......
Dylan Perez
he would probably be still married to cynthia. I'm going to assume that thye still met and without the music career they did the boomer thing and stay together. now that I think about it he probably would've split from cynthia and married someone else later (an normal person) when he was better preppared to do it.
either way it wouldn't be yoko
Thomas Evans
Everyone forgot Oasis when bittersweet symphony came out
Isaac Lopez
I'm a bong that gets a bit nostalgic for that era, it was the last time the Uk was cool. although the new labour stuff hasn't aged well. for me though its' more to do with labour becoming the conservatives lite/neo liberal.

Jace Mitchell
Are you talking about Billy Talent
Sebastian Parker
Him coming clean at the end makes no sense, because the band he stole the music from didn't exist and write those songs. So he can admit he stole the music, but nobody else will claim credit for it or make It, so he technically didn't steal anything because he was the only person to make it.
No he doesn't. >Folds abruptly replaces Shatner's voice with that of singer Joe Jackson, and then alternates and blends the two into a duet, bringing along a large chorus of young voices on the line "sing along with the common people",
>Indian girls have high standards and are trad as fuck >somehow this a bad thing
Gabriel Torres
Who replaced them, zoomer?
James Fisher
1.) One 2.) Two 3.) Three 4.)Four 5.)Five 6.) Six 7.) Seven
Justin Ward
that's right. i don't talk music with boomers because they can't help themselves to say they invented everything and nothing good is going on, they suck and their narcissism is sucking the life out of everything. radio silence from me, i walk away.
Can GAYlywood fucking stop with these dumb ass Beatles fucking movies. The fucking wannabe musicals and Beatles inspired trash
Who the fuck likes the Beatles other than old people who have a reason at least or fucking faggy kids who think the Beatles were some kinda revolutionary sound
Guess what niggers. Beatles were pushed by (((theindustry))) and there sound wasn't unique and just got lucky to be pushed onto dumb teen girls who like anyone who looks cute.
All music should be blind. No fucking mascots or people. Just the music. That way no pretty boys or bimbo sluts could get popular out of looks.
Kayden Gomez
Like you think the Beatles would be popular if it was some ugly guys? You think 90% of music today is popular because of sound and skill or because its pushed and because the people look sexy.
The television ruined music and also presidential debates.
Hunter Stewart
i went to a liam gallagher concert week ago and it was aight he played couple of oasis songs and i enjoyed it
thanks for reading my blog btw

Imagine being American. I'd be so fucking embarrassed by my country's ignorance and stupidity, I'd fake being Mexican.

Asher Price
This is horseshit I saw an early screening Wednesday and that scene wasn't in the cut they showed. In fact Jack only realizes he's in an alternate universe under different circumstances where he plays yesterday to his friends. So either this is bait or they did end up re editing the film for its north American release
Michael Phillips
You thick cunt. The song is literally ABOUT a pretentious hipster talking about living like common people. How the fuck do you miss the point this hard? Are you old enough to be using the internet by yourself?

I don't know why but I took this as a personal insult
Owen Flores
You mean to tell me that OP is a faggot? That he provided no source for his quotes, nothing comes up when you search for it, and the actual movie playing in theatres has a completely different scene where the guy finds out Oasis doesn't exist - considering it's a somewhat important plot point? Do you think it's possible this thread is just full of genuine retards and self-aware people wasting everyone's time with fake outrage? On Yea Forums? No, that can't be right.
Oh come on. What white person aged 18-50 doesn't know Wonderwall?

They were, Smashing Pumpkins were bigger in the USA in 96/97. Oasis fucked up their tours in the states with Noel/Liams antics, and the Pumpkins were the last big rock band standing with ties to the American grunge explosion in the early 90s.
Brayden Bennett
Grunge was better than Britpop, bong.

As America becomes less white so will appreciation of "white music" decline.

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure the Beatles influenced much more than just Oasis. I mean wouldn't the music industry be radically different rather than just Oasis not existing?
Jonathan Baker
Probably wouldn’t be as much fag shit that’s about it
I'm vaguely familiar with some of Oasis' more popular songs like Wonderwall but I never thought they sounded like The Beatles and never would have made any sort of connection unless told. Live in Canada born in 91
Brody Thompson

Marilyn Manson is insanely outdated now, I enjoy it as kind of kitsch but the idea that it was edgy at one point is laughable nowadays with amount of hypersexualised nigger shit that zoomers consume on a daily basis.
