there was that one indian musician who was tricked into smuggling drugs into china by a fake fan and was promptly caught and executed by chinese authorities
She's Tamil from Sri Lanka, that's where the "I got more records than the KGB" comes from. Her family was involved with the Tamil Tigers, who were a terrorist/freedom fighter faction in Sri Lanka.
The whole thing is just this guys weird Indian power fantasy that isn't interesting to anyone else >What if everyone but me forgot the Beatles, so I can steal all their songs and become famous >Actually there're a few other people who also remember them, but they didn't have the same idea, and it also doesn't go anywhere plot wise >Oh, and the AT&T milkers girls also wants to fuck me
It's like listening to someone explain a dream they had that no one cares about
I thought that the movie would go in the direction that he actually writes a hit song that he wrote himself. But it just keeps in the power fantasy realm
I went in thinking that the Beatles songs were going to flop when he did them, and it makes some point about artistic integrity, or that there's a lot more to the Beatles than just the song writing, but no
I'm sorry for thinking they might actually do something interesting with it after paying all that money for the Beatles license

None of what you posted was remotely interesting or entertaining. It's a bad idea, which was imagined by a bad person. I hope that you get bullied until you die.
That's ass. "In a world where the Beatles never happened would giving some random who their discography be enough to make him a successful artist?" is a legit premise. Like, this was marketed as a love letter to the Beatles, but saying it could have been literally anyone singing those songs kinda shits on them if anything

That's because Rubber soul influence 60 years of music you retard. Beethoven's 9th wouldn't be as popular if released today. It would still be incredibly popular. I hate retards like you. I hope someone tells you that you're stupid every single day of your life. Because you deserve it.

It is the better, logical idea. It would force him to find his own voice.

It's neither logical nor better nor interesting nor entertaining. Please leave.
It's weird because at the start of the movie there's this whole thing about how he's struggling but the girl sees something special in his music, which would make you think they want you to believe he actually does have a talent for songwriting and a want to creatively express himself but just can't find his big break, but then he's so happy to just ape The Beatles with his only concern being others finding out, never giving a thought to the fact that he's only being recognized for songs that aren't his own, that it makes him come across like he was only ever interested in the fame of being a musician and the music itself never mattered to him. It's also insane that this movie sucks off Ed Sheeran more than it sucks off The Beatles.
This guy really thought he was making something on par with Exterminating Angel the way everyone forgetting the Beatles is handled as a mater of fact thing and never explained or explored. The issue is there's nothing else interesting going on in this movie
It's an interesting thought experiment and loving tribute to the Beatles. That's the point of the movie for all non-incels who frantically search the Cinemaphile archive for all instances of "BBC"
If you read the original script it’s much more interesting. And make a lot more sense
>same plot, musician gets somehow put in a world where no Beatles existed and replicates their songs >musician gains moderate success but nowhere near what the Beatles had >is confused until he realises it’s because the Beatles wasn’t just lyrics and chords. They were four specific guys. Who arrived and had a specific sound at a specific time. He is a modern man. He cannot appeal to people with “I wanna hold your hand” the same way peak Beatles could
Would also make the other few people who remember the Beatles make more sense for their appreciation. Maybe they loved the Beatles, but lacked any musical ability. So hearing something that simply doesn’t exist any more, even if in a different form is great.
Why the hell has there been a thread about this movie active off and on for the past like ten years, and why is it always the same exact thread and OP image?

They originally went a lot darker with the script, in one rewrite the film ends with Mark David Chapman walking in to meet Rasheesh and it cuts to black
I’m convinced that writers just write a bunch of endings just to see what comes out and never intend to use the far out ones, but every time someone gets their hands a dark version everyone thinks it’s “the true intended ending.” Modern audiences’ obsession with misery porn is concerning.
>the only consequence of the Beatles not existing is that the Oasis don't exist either >apparently everything else about the past 60 years of music history stayed the exact same >yet nobody ever comments on how the Beatles songs sound old compared to modern pop music standards
Literally zero thought went into this script.
Why do other bands and artists exist and remain unchanged in this timeline? Surely almost every band and artist during and after The Beatles's reign were influenced by them to varying degrees. The Beach Boys for example either wouldn't exist or would have a totally different sound.
Freddie Mercury was Indian, though his family had been shipped off to Africa by the British and then shipped off to Britain as the empire started collapsing.
That guy who played sitar
Ravi Shankar
And his daughter, Nora Jones
ravi stinkar
George Harrison?
there was that "everybody needs a bosom for a pillow" song in the 90s

Isn't she Sri Lankan

Hilarious how the world forgot about this movie kek.
Literally only remember it exists because Lily James
Ana de Armas is in it
She's only in the trailer, not in the movie.
Yeah, sure. They have a huge star and don't include her in the movie for literally no reason. Try again buddy. I saw the movie and she is in it.
It's a shame, I really enjoyed it. Lily James was very cute in it as well.

Power fantasy? I thought the movie was about how cool the Beatles are.
I went in thinking that the Beatles songs were going to flop when he did them, and it makes some point about artistic integrity, or that there's a lot more to the Beatles than just the song writing, but no
well you're a retard for thinking that. When you die I bet your parents will be happy.

That was the original idea sold to Richard Curtis, but he changed it.
Oh wow, is that the insider behind the scenes information?! Do you know the box office numbers too?!?!?!?
Fucking scum.

It's also a blatant rip off a manga called Boku wa Beatles but with no time travel
It makes no sense without the time travel aspect.

You're not interesting, so you don't know what is interesting. I disrespect you, therefore I disrespect your stupid opinion. Die.
This. The movie only exists to have nonwhite romancing white women. Thats it. There is no other reason to make such a retarded movie.

Wasn't there a movie with a very similar plot about some Indian kid and Springsteen's music that came out at the same time?
Weird coincidence.
I'm pretty sure Freddie Mercurary from the band "Queen" was some sort of indian
He was african noob
Do Pakis count?
Freddie Mercury
He was Persian.
No, he was Pharsee. Like from the Bible. he did grow up in Tanzania tho
He also went to school in India for a period.
Who cares you dumb bitch
Why the hell has there been a thread about this movie active off and on for the past like ten years, and why is it always the same exact thread and OP image?
The bassist from No Doubt was a pajeet and dated Gwen Stefani for years.
A few of their more popular songs were written about their relationship and subsequent breakup.
Gwen was so damn good looking
Milana Vayntrub was in this movie?
Its almost entirely made just for the scene of Robert Carlisle playing john lennon

Your thoughts are worse than zero thought. Please never post again. You make the world worst just by existing.

Indians lack the spark of humanity that allows for people to create art.
Why do other bands and artists exist and remain unchanged in this timeline? Surely almost every band and artist during and after The Beatles's reign were influenced by them to varying degrees. The Beach Boys for example either wouldn't exist or would have a totally different sound.
Freddie Mercury
>white adjacent phenotype
>semitic eyebrows
>black lips
>chinlet
lol such a weird look poor guy
His mouth also hangs open in a weird way with visible teeth. A truly unfortunate looking fellow.
hold that thought
/ourgirl/
Freddie Mercury was Indian, though his family had been shipped off to Africa by the British and then shipped off to Britain as the empire started collapsing.
