so ddl wasnt playing the indian lad? where the hell have i been

I need my eyes tested. I thought it was Daniel Radcliffe.

perfect

@@carlosparra8976 No, that's Robert Downey again.

I thought that was ryan reynolds

Hey dude, hah! Sheeran was absolutely hilarious in this movie.

Esp since he was not their first choice (Chris Martin), and he knew it. So meta.

Nice to see a muso with a sense of humour and no ego! Good on him!.

I mean playing "real life musician who isn't as good as the Beatles" is a pretty easy role

On a interview. Ed said that he is not an actor. So anyone who wants him in their film, he would gladly take it.

It was a stunned silence, like how you would be frozen when you first laid eyes on King Kong. 🤣

@@joebanks3698 p

@@joebanks3698 I always thought it was more like the audience didn't know what to do. But when Ed Sheeran clapped the song was given the seal of approval. Imagine clapping after the song and Ed Sheeran saying 'That was shit'.

No, Ed's flunkies wait to take their lead from their boss.

Yeah, but his parents and Terry would have still interrupted to answer the phone or get a drink.

tony lovell well spoken great point bud from fla bless

Apparently Chris Martin turned it down lol (It might be for any number of reasons of course, but excuse me for finding that kind of funny haha)

But he IS too stuck on himself because he was portrayed as the foremost singer-songwriter of our current era. He even says that very arrogant line "they told me that eventually someone would come along who would beat me and youe that someone". Lmao. How arrogant.

@@ishaangovardhan7430you know he didn’t write the script right?😂

@@seanwilliams5848 you know they didn't force him at gunpoint to accept this role where he gets to come off as both pompous and humble right? 😂 Chris Martin turned the role down, presumably because he's not full of himself like Sheeran

you must be kidding, they did not look the same at all

The snozzberries taste like snozzberries.

Fun trivia fact: they used the guy who played Ron Weasley, who’s also a prince or something like that idk

Y'all be joking, it's the man in the mirror!

Looked more like Groundskeeper Willie from The Simpsons 🤔

Well only Paul wrote that song...

I knew a guy. Many years ago maybe 30 years now. I met him in a club as a young man trying to get a band together. I made a throw away line in the toilets and he started singing. It was amazing. I got his number and we ended up going to his mums anyway. Where he said he had written some stuff. I just wanted him as a singer. Because I was a simply amazing songwriter. I don’t say this humbly but I was genuinely top drawer. But I had another talent. Since then I’ve discovered it to be far and away my most powerful talent. I can see talent and accurately judge it on a scale of greatness. Almost to within the inch. As soon as he played me his 1st song I had an immediate reaction. Bewilderment, but understanding too of just how good it was. I knew all the rules. I was an aficionado of songwriters. I could understand and re-write just about anything. But a few songs we’re like hearing magic. It was the line in the prestige. I’ve seen many talented conjurers . But it’s been many years since I’ve seen real magic. That was what it felt like. I stopped analysing and started being in the song. Just having my mind blown. He was a genuine genius. The one in a billion type. But, he is in an institution now or dead. He was schizophrenic. Introverted. Had about 10 other serious problems. Prone to violence but couldn’t fight. Drank like a madman and took all the drugs. And even with all this we still got signed after a bidding war with 5 major labels. It wasn’t to be though. And I wonder how many true savants out there just can’t make it all fit together. I guess I’ll never know. We would have flown high for a little while. Somewhere in a vault are 4 of the best songs I’ve ever heard. With another 100 inside his head. Me, I’m an artist now.

@@T1tusCr0w Quick! Try to reconstruct the songs, you can pull a "yesterday"

@@T1tusCr0w Calm down there Salieri. I think you've had too much of whatever you're having.

There's definitely multiple people who can compare themselves to the beatles (not ed sheeran though). Don't put people on a pedstal dude

Tbf Ed wrote that in a very short time (movie wise)

@@prattpratt it would have been good if that actually had been written by ed in that time, though that was a stupid competition. like he wanted to embarrass him by it. that was one of the best renditions of that song i d heard for a while. masterpiece. felt a real tear.

That was the whole point of the scripted scene 🤦‍♂️

I would have called BS that he actually wrote it on the spot and hadn’t been working on it for a while.

@@rulinghabs Agreed. No one in real life would believe this song had not been composed for days. Even Lennon-McCartney could not do it in 10 min.

Absolutely! And he keeps on showing it throughout the whole movie!

The "imposter syndrome" this character mist feel is mind blowing because, in one hand nobody knows the music so he is kinda obligated to help the world to 'remember' the Beatles, but at yhe same time he didn't compose anything. Very curious movie indeed

This seat? And why would you feel bad for Ed in a scripted, fictitious scene?

@@fezzik7619 One, I wrote that comment at like one in the morning. Two, its called having Empathy and enjoying a movie

@@fezzik7619 Your life must be cold and empty if you're unable to be moved by fiction.

@@Caiyde Oh yeah. Completely devoid of all joy and any other emotion. I’m an non-empathetic automaton just passing through this life until the undefeated Father Time claims me as his victim. No one smiles when I enter a room. My life, purposeless, devoid of meaning will pass unnoticed in human history as though I never existed at all. I wonder. When I die, will anyone cry for me? Hahahaha

@@fezzik7619 You write well :)

He will probably try to write a dozen songs that night or for weeks and it still not be even close and it will drive him crazy everytime he thinks malik wrote that song in under ten minutes.

great take on the scene

Is it really THAT humble to admit that you're not better than the Beatles? :D

Me too ... until some history/music buff INEVITABLY points out that Salieri was Mozart's real life friend and supporter

@@PrestigeLearning Ed later helps Jack produce a full album and is indeed his good friend.

Mee too a favourite film of mine..

I would like to see that version too. But you're so right about the arrangements.

I find this version far superior to McCartney's. Possibly McCartney does too, since they forced him to create an arrangement he disliked.

@@nothingtodo58 I prefer the simplicity of this version as well

It's a very pretty song but not lyrically great

first line pretty much

a real musical aficionado would get his Mozart-Salieri history from the actual history and not from the film Amadeus hint: it is not the same

@@JamesJoyce12 - both were brilliant...but Mozart was in a class by himself.

Except he said 'Mow-zart' instead of 'Moat-zart'.

WHO THE FUCK IS MOZART?! Booom!! Yesterday 2!!!))))

@@grantm6514 He was talking about the art work by his friend Mo.

Like an i iceberg ❄️

I WONDER WHO THIS ED GUY IS!!

So the scripted moment made its intended point. Good.

@@fezzik7619 dont cry!

@@vi683a for me Argentina.

@@vi683a HAHA FRZZIK 76 IS BEING AN IDIOT! IGNORE HIM!

Lol Ed's lyrics were great. And he supposedly wrote that in 10 min. I like The Beatles more but Even Paul cannot write Penguins in 10 minutes. It is a beautiful song.

HAHA someone wrote yesterday that he could have chosen something like I Am The Walrus and would have won, and that actually mentions penguins in it. Okay, so the line is "Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna", but still.

🤣🤣🤣

like bringing an atomic bomb to a knife fight....

awesome

He was born in the right decade otherwise he would have got unnoticed in the 70's.. more like early 60's.

You mean Nick Drake???

@@vi683a , his only talent is being likeable and easy to market I agree.

His voice definitely isn't though, sounds like every other generic singer songwriter out these days. He's a got a great voice don't get me wrong, but its too great just like every other pop start these days.

"Obladi Oblada" or "Yellow Submarine" was too dangerous a choice ... Guess he really wanted to be sure to win.

I think even "Help!" would probably blow them away.

Yeah I like that part too. it says dude you just got rolled!

Shouldve picked oh bla di this is just unfair

Definitely Paul's best piece for me. And it would be bold to say but I actually think this version is more emotional than the original which is a bit faster

I tried her...she was average ;)

Here’s someone who clearly gets the plot of the movie. You’re a total genius to come up with that all by yourself

I so hope you've now watched the movie "Amadeus." One of the best films of all time.

EXACTLY

Technically, he followed the rules. He hinself didn't write it before

But the Beatles didn't exist in this version of the world: so who's to say that these songs Jack "remembers" aren't really his subconscious mind giving him a vehicle for some terrific songs? That was my main beef with this movie - the illogical guilt Jack felt that these weren't "his" songs. He could easily have told the truth - that he's imagined these albums and these songs, with songs performed and written by these brilliant musicians named John, Paul, George and Ringo, and all he's doing is bringing them back to life to a world that's never heard them, AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECTLY OKAY. Artists get their inspiration from all sorts of places. And he could have hired those other two to join him to help fill in the bits he didn't quite remember and credit them as "co-writers".

he should’ve chosen another obscure Beatles song…. that they also wrote?? brilliant lol

@@Drakester671 Ed also said "something completely original." The Long and Winding Road was not something completely original to Jack. Jack knew that. He cheated.

That’s… the whole point

@@TheRManProds awww did someone get her little feelings hurt? You’ve got a better chance of seeing god than me shutting up cap locks Queen.

it's a love note to the Beatles. Great way to appreciate the brilliance of their music through a fun and funny film

ED WROTE HEY DUDE!

It's funny that in the movie Oasis doesn't exist because they were so inspired by The Beatles they couldn't exist without them

Listen to Paul McCartney play it on the piano by himself and you’ll get the version he created first.

It was producer Phil Spector who added all the strings and horns, much to McCartney’s chagrin. Which why they later released the original intended version as Let It Be- Naked.

Too bad they cut out the part where he sang something. It was phenomenal
