Good evening readers, I hope all is well! Can’t believe that next month it will be Easter. I had intended to write about the goodies I got from Birdmoss but I wanted to wait until both the welcome kit and the March box were both in my possession. So, I wanted to talk about a movie that I watched this week, and I fell in love with it, let’s brew about it!
The Beatles are timeless, their music transcending through time creating love and prosperity. I always enjoyed their music. I recently, watched Yesterday, which I get it, it is not a recent film, but I don’t know how I missed this. So, the story is about a struggling musician Jack Malik and his best friend Lily James whom also, happens to be his band manager. Jack is on the edge of quitting until, he’s hit by a bus.
For 12 seconds across the earth all the lights go out as Jack is suspended in air and by the time he lands everything comes back on. When Jack awakes he finds out The Beatles, don’t exist. How, do they NOT exist? Was it in those 12 seconds their whole career/ era disappeared? Did they cease to exist? My head was spinning, maybe not as much as Jack’s as he’s completely dumbfounded NO ONE knows what he’s talking about and think that he’s lost it.
So, where does our hero go from here? He plays The Beatles at his gigs and becomes a smash hit, is what he does and The Beatles phenomenon rises again via Jack, whom, is caught up in the storm he has created. While everyone that meets him say he’s a musical genius he’s struggling with the knowledge that HE didn’t create the songs and while his world is turned upside down and torn from his friends, Jack has to find and make his peace with this knowledge.
I don’t want to talk about the end because I want YOU to see it. It’s a fantastic movie filled with laughter, pain and hard decisions. Oh, and it’s not just The Beatles that have been wiped from existence, and it’s hilarious to watch Jack search the internet when something doesn’t exist. But what do you think? I’d love to see what your thoughts are.
Keep On Brewin!
