A bold move from domestic localizers — leave the English name of the tape, such precedents are very much a rare. But still, the reason that's significant because "Yesterday" — one of the most iconic songs of the great Liverpool Quartet "The Beatles", and even the name is wonderful is correlated with that occurs in the film.
Doubly pleased that for a film from anyhow who, Danny Boyle, from under the hand which came the insane amount of good movies. And so when the audience got the trailer and description of the story and underlying the idea, the picture came in a list of the most anticipated movies of the nearest at the time. And idea tape, really, "million": the whole world abruptly forgets about the existence of "The Beatles", except for one unlucky singer, which to him, the light wedge not converged. That gift is a sin not to use it, but now do the main character from your new image, your fears, desires and glory?
Such a powerful and, on first glance, incredible ideas are always in one or lesser extent complicated fate. Often the creators, it becomes difficult to reduce all the ideological straight in one point: the writer sees one, the Director looks at this is a little different, but the idea of the author (in the case of "Yesterday" — is a writer and documentary filmmaker Jack Barth) sees it is the first two. In case the idea of a Danny Boyle film there is another one thing — so a lot of possibilities for the introduction of a completely different perspective. In such diversity it is difficult to create a single unbreakable design that would it covers the audience's expectations. Boyle with his team decided to go for a very simple way — place all the ingredients in one pot and to simplify, to lighten her, its a romantic Comedy.
Just this is a competitive advantage "Yesterday". If you watch the film is not snobbery puffy eyes, then it looks what is really — easy, simple and cheerful work relaxing Director. With the other hand, deliberately catching eye simplicity and directness, in including romantic lines and development of the main character, not allow to carry the tape to the important cinematic events of the year.
The characters in "Yesterday" bright, helps them in this scenario, the hand to which made Richard Curtis — screenwriter of such films as "love actually", "Notting hill", "Rock-wave", "the Boyfriend of the future" and the first two movie in the trilogy of "Bridget Jones". Have a summary of such a list — evidence of strong reputation. With the actor's work more difficult: Himesh Patel — debutant big movie — the choice is ambiguous. How important is it for Boyle was to point to the social identity of the protagonist? With the story point of view, this the importance of not note, counting bruised — "it can have all" and"choose with your heart". But a much more important idea regarding the main character is hidden in other: the ratio of talent, fame and readiness the adoption of a new order of life together with achievements. Performance of its role Patel for the debut is decent, but in the dramatic moments he still lacked charisma. Lily James, in turn, as usually a good and this time is especially nice.
Thus, "Yesterday" — easy, simple and inspirational romantic Comedy, which is not trying to go into too much drama, it was a bit random treats specified issues and not offers the viewer a complex narrative structures, even when such original ideas. A good and warm mood.
