His friends reaction gives me goosebumps. Imagine listening to Yesterday for the first time and by one of your own close friends

[demarchiordie]

What hit me the most about this movie was the feeling of hearing these songs for the first time again through the actors reactions and realising how big they are. After hearing these songs all my life it's easy to take them for granted or just listen to them on "auto pilot", not thinking about it, but while watching the movie you really do realise the impact they have on you and how magnificent they are. Damn, the Long and Winding Road was like a punch to the gut. Unbelievable what The Beatles did, the music and art they have left us, damn, there's nothing like it.

[SweetAsianChick]

Plot twist: The whole world was actually pranking him.

[Underratedmen]

Think about hearing your favorite song and then realizing it was written by one of your closest friends. It’s magical.

[warachnid]

Jack: I didn’t write it Paul McCartney wrote it, The Beatles
Carol: The Who?
Jack: No The Beatles

[TomboTime]

His facial expressions when listening to his friends are excellent

[Adam__U]

This scene is so perfect. Just witnessing people hearing The Beatles for the first time and being so moved by a song. It's brilliant.

[babywah]

A world without the Beatles’ music is not a world I want to live in.

[BeatlesCentricUniverse]

Can we acknowledge how incredibly well Himsesh Patel sings this?

[mestizo]

The Beatles were only together for 8 years! Their music is immortal

[cameronvincent_films]

Even if they don’t know who the Beatles are, he still said he didn’t write it. So why would they call him cocky for defending a song he never claimed as his lol

[carlosmoran]

Her reaction is on point. She's hooked from the first line and demands to hear more. As he finishes, she's as breathless as she is confused, wondering if he really did just do that, forever captured by one of the best songs ever written.

[craigw]

I'm sure most of you know, but...he sang this live. Straight up - all his performances in the movie are recorded as they did the scenes. They weren't overdubbed somewhere else...he did them all, live. I mean of course there was more than a single take but...that's part of the reason you feel the immediacy of what he's doing...just very impressive.

[oksoiumokaytheotherdaywhen]

Can’t wait to see the American Version where everyone forgets about Lil Pump but the main character does nothing because it’s for the best
(1 year later I still stand by what I said)

[radjedi]

Most unrealistic part of this movie about an alternate universe is that someone could have passed on Lily James for more than a millisecond.

[tipdub]

The more I rewatch this scene, the more I appreciate the cut to their surroundings. We often do remember exactly where we were and what we were feeling when we experience a song like this for the first time. The children and pets laughing and playing, the breeze rippling through our hair, boats lazily passing by, possibly the smell of food being prepared drifting from the windows, a pint in the safety and comfort of the presence of friends: all important details without which this scene would be less impactful. Beautiful.

"Paul McCartney wrote it. He dreamed the tune and woke up singing, 'Ham and eggs, how I wish I had some ham and eggs.' Later he changed the words."

[arthurbriand]

Sylvie is hiding in an apocalypse, aka a world without the Beatles.

[MichaelParthum]

“It’s not bloody “Fix You”, Carol!” should be the new meme for bad comparisons.

[teaparty]

I grew up in a first-generation immigrant household and never heard a Beatles song until I was 21 and in college. The song was "While my Guitar Gently Weeps"

The screenwriters captured my reaction exactly.
