They really nailed the Actor who plays Ed Sheeran, he looks and even sounds exactly like him (Sarcasm)
That is him

Ed : *actually writes a song in 10 mins.*
Jack : the biggest act of plagiarism that he got away with.
Philip Nikola I mean… is it still plagiarism if the original writers never wrote it?
InsaneTacoz Um yeah? It’s literally passing someone else’s work off as your own. It doesn’t matter if the creator forgot they wrote it or something.
They know it’s not their own work.
@@Rushinator1 No in this Movie the Beatles never existed meaning none of the songs were written so basically he is making these songs out of nowhere.
And he has to remember all these songs when none of these ever existed in this universe, so not plagiarism if they never existed.
He was asked not to pull one out of the drawer, but he already knew that song so didn't just come up with it in 10 minutes
RG how is he taking someone’s music when that someone doesn’t exist
The fact is, this may be the best cover of this song I've heard. The other covers try too hard, but this is just a piano and a voice, it's clean and simple and it works
Totally agree. It is a beautiful song, so why kill it.
and actually that it was how McCartney intended it to be and how it actually is in the Let it be naked version album. Paul disliked profoundly all the added arrangements. That's what makes this scene even better, it's just so raw and beautiful.
@@bianchiiii3806 the version of the long and winding road in the let it be (naked) album is my favorite for sure
You clearly haven’t hear George Michael cover of it
Listen to the will young and gareth gates version 👍
Imagine if the only person remembering the Beatles couldn't sing or play a piano😂🤔
I will teach him how to sing
The thing is a guy that doesnt do both wouldnt sound everything to an artist even if they try.. idk
Well if you have not seen the movie, it's the moment, the fact that some other people remember the Beatles is a part of the plot ;)
A world without the Beetles is world that is so much worse
I would take music lessons, it would take some time though.
Plot twist. The world we're living in is a parallel where Jack Malick doesn't exist and the Beatles stole all his songs..

Ed Sheeran: sings about penguins
Jack Malik: ima end this mans career
Should have come back with ‘I am the Walrus’ it would have well and truly flattened his Penguin.

Hey dude
@@iggydip this comments needs more likes
Justin Nunag Had one? why even was there?
This was the best cover in the entire film I'd say. Really beautifully performed, and a great scene in general.
agreed
I hear you, ut please watch the part when he plays "Help"
I bet this was his audition song.
There are several incorrect chords in the piano part. Not as good.
@Philip mcgrath Well I heard it right away but I understand that the premise of the movie that he's a hack anyway just trying to bring these songs to life.
I'm surprised by Ed Sheeran's acting chops here. He really does a good job portraying someone being massively humbled and while still feeling the sting of defeat, trying to handle it with grace. He still can't avoid letting a little bit of his frustration out with some of his passive aggressive comments but reigns it in with a joke while leaving. Really well done.
Well that was the script writers with the dialogue, yes. But Sheeran was a surprisingly GOOD ACTOR. I was wowed by his subtle performance.
I think it's easy to overlook how perfectly Sheeran acted in this scene. Body language, intonation, delivery... pretty much perfect. And he's not even a professional actor.
Rupert Grint did a great job potraying Ed Sheeran
Lol
LOL I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THIS
Imagine😂😂
Just spat beer thru my nose, thanks bro
That's real ed
Ed: im going to geniunly create a new song and impress everyone.
Jack: The secret ingredient is crime
Hello Super Hans, didn't expect to see you here.
@@raghavsagar6362 I tell you what Jez that crack is really morerish
Lol. Someone watches peep show
In this case it was neither crime nor plagiarism. He was the only one who had the music and the ability (not like the other two in the story who had only the knowledge). Big smile!
That’s how mafia works
Ed Sheeran is surprisingly a composed actor. I was impressed by that 2-second pause when he conceded in plain sight. Even Jack Malik felt that he may have overdone it.
What a moving scene!
@@sylviacrouch8073 an actor named rupert grint
@@sylviacrouch8073 Okay ENOUGH with the jokes. Someone somewhere will think you were serious when you said the this was Rupert Grint. Ed Sheeran is even in the credits of the movie playing himself. LOL
fair play to Ed really, he was a good sport about it all. Many wouldn't have the humility to concede that their work and talent pales in comparison to the Beatles let alone poke fun of that fact.
@@mako3197 Eh, it's a band versus one man, he can justify it like that. Also I doubt Ed Sheeran considers himself the greatest songwriter in history or something. I know successful people have to believe in themselves to get to the point they do, but he doesn't seem irrational
@@hansolo631 Well, Paul wrote the whole song, it was just standard among the Beatles 'later' songs (it's hard to process that they only really lasted five years) which were written either by Paul or John independently to credit both of them.
But the point is he's conceding to Paul f*cking McCartney, one of the greatest songwriters _ever,_ so it's hardly a slam on Ed. I think he was okay with it. He still did a good job of playing a guy who concedes to someone in a world where the Beatles never existed.
3:20 ... the pause, subtle reflection in his eyes, and the deliverence of defeat... that was an impecible performance by Sheeran as an actor. Very well played.
Impeccable* do you seriously not have spell check?

Jolly good bloke, eh?
mark spannar work he doesn’t need to do. He read the script, and he still took the job.
Ed Sheeran is brilliant
Ed singing about penguins and Jack opens with a long and winding road. I mean he could've at least given Ed a chance and did Yellow submarine or something.
He could've played Octopus's garden , but still Octopus beats penguins
Imagine if he sung Hey Jude.
How about Blackbird. Simple, possible to write in a few minutes, and also...birds.
@@onlinedebatecamp bro you do know what that song was actually about right?
@@chrisiceheart yes. Yes I do.
2:09 you can see the utter dejection on Ed’s face. He’s both in awe, envious, and questioning all his abilities in the face of a masterpiece. Good acting, he really captured the heartbreaking feeling of creative insignificance.
1:34 I love how he looks defeated after the first line of the song.
Sheeran's song was better and in 50 years everyone will recognize that.
@@mikestevenson576 There's always this guy.
It took me a while to realize that in the movie Ed is coping that Jack wrote a masterpiece in 10 minutes. Literally one of the greatest songs he's ever heard in just 10 minutes. It would probably be a shock to the system if music is everything to you to experience that.
you can see how guilty jack feel and i get it, but at the same time, if you were the only person remembering the beatles and the only one capable of getting their songs out in the world then you shouldnt feel guilty cuz the world needs the beatles' masterpieces!
there's bringing them back to the world, and there's just straight up cheating. This is supposed to be a friendly competition between songwriters, to write something in 10 mins, almost no-one else hears it. But he still steals a beatles song, that probably took a while longer than 10 minutes to write, and passes it off as his own, just so he can show off.
@@sympunny8636 he didn’t steal it though. He was the “chosen” one
@@sympunny8636 Is it stealing if it didn’t exist?
@@walrus2515 yep, since it'd still been made by something else. Later they'd been erased from the timeline sure, but that doesn't change the fact that it's their work. I'm not against giving it back to the world, and him claiming the songs were his. However, the competition was to write a song in 10 minutes, and he didn't do that. Instead he used a song that probably took way longer than 10 minutes to write.
No wonder Ed Sheeran was disheartened after the contest, He thought he was able to write amazing songs in only 10 minutes, pretty rude if you ask me.
@@funwithfish1507 I mean, there were several other "chosen ones," as we see later in the film. So yeah, he stole it.
I legit let out a burst of laughter in the theater when he started playing the long and winding road. He gets asked to write a song in 10 minutes and shows up Ed with one of the greatest songs of all time.
It was Jack
@@janeburdis9644 Jack "shows up" Ed, as in outclassed him.
Jack was too harsh to Ed
He could have at least did Yellow submarine to let him off easy 😂
Right? lol
"Write a song in 10 minutes"
Jack: *HER MAJESTY'S A PRETTY NICE GIRL*
He would’ve won for sure if he came out and sang I Am the Walrus 😂
Jack: NUMBER 9, NUMBER 9, NUMBER 9
Storytime, that was the first hidden track to ever be recorded. It is a full song but nobody (Except the Beatles RIP John Lennon and George Harrison) has ever heard the full song. It was meant to be completely cut off of the record but the person at the recording studio forgot to cut off the whole thing. Just a little bit of trivia!
@@bandcampvibes wow, never heard about that, nice!
@@dimitrimachado5330 The only reason I found out was because it was at the end of my CD and it just cut off so I thought that my CD was broken and googled it. lol
Honestly, Ed was one of my favorite things about this movie. He was such a good guy and supportive of jack the entire time, even tho he was clearly very taken aback and hurt in this scene. He even wanted to learn from jack. I mean I know its a movie, but I enjoy that kind of wholesomeness
kind of hated him for turning Hey Jude into Hey Dude lol
@@rameduq555I thought that was a hilarious scene to be honest haha
When Ed suggest changing Hey Jude to Hey Dude, I was in tears laughing.
I like the look on Jacks face after Ed fed him that amazing compliment. You can tell he feels horrible because he knows doesn’t deserve it.
This Ed Sheeran guy can definitely sing, I think he should be a singer.

"A world without The Beatles is a world that's infinitely worse"
Amitabh Sharma with the Beatles it still is quite abhorrent
@@emilxert but less so
How right you are!!
Without cigarettes
Amitabh Sharma is it just me or the Beatles are kinda overrated. I just feel like everyone just hops on the bandwagon.
I didn’t have very high expectations for this movie but I ended up loving it! This scene in particular is perfect to me as it’s humbling but in a very realistic way. My father always told me that no matter how good you are, there is always someone better.
or...however good you are, there's always some-one who cheats. I mean, it's supposed to be a 10 minute composition, he took some-one elses composition that I very much doubt it took 10 minutes to write originally, and passed it off as his own.
@@sympunny8636 In a world where everything is erased, is it actually stealing when you recite from memory, if everything seized to exist, I would say that would become the original.
Walk out of about 90% of movies as it’s always the same damn thing. I loved this movie as well and such an interesting plot. I’ve watched it at home as well now
Man brought a nuke to a fist fight 😂
To quote Monty Python, "Well Spoken, Bruce!"
I love how he just outright cheats
At least no copyright
This is an Isekai concept actually :). Transported to another world without the Beatles
That's the whole plot
Ed Sheeran fan it looks like
I would do the same thing. It simply had to be heard.
The best thing about this movie was the concept. In a day and age where everything is getting rebooted, it was refreshing to see this idea coming from the movie industry.
Meh. The concept was good but it was never explained in the movie why these things happened and that really bummed me out..
Funny you say that. This is a rip-off of a french movie called Jean-Phillippe, where the protagonist wakes up in a world where nobody knows who Johnny Halliday is (he was one of the biggest singer in France). So he goes on and sing his songs.
This movie is the reboot of all reboots. It's literally resurrecting an entire band's catalogue and parcelling it up as something new. Embarrassing to consider something as cheap as this anything other than a sellout turn.
the concept sucked
@@robertjordan355 I was thinking the same thing man.
"Your a Mozart and I'm definitely Salieri" Thats how you know musician admits a complete defeat for real.
You're
When I watched this movie I thought it was going to be a big ball of feel good cheese with a cop out ending, but damn, I cried my little heart out. It's cheesy, yes, but it's such a love letter to Beatles in particular and to the power of music in general.
I really didn't expect him to visit John Lennon. I got a little teary eyed thinking that because John never formed the Beatles and wrote the songs, he got to live to 78 instead of getting murdered by a stalker.
Ed: Actually comes up with a song in ten minutes.
Jack: *I'm gonna do what's called a pro boomer move.*
Edit: Out of all the places I expected my most liked comment to appear, this was the last on my mind.

I still think this is one of the funniest moments in recent cinema. The sheer audacity of picking perhaps the Beatles’ best song in a ten minute competition...
shouldve done like love me do or something i beleive someone couldve written love me do in 10 minutes
Bro he said lemme murder Ed real quick 💀
I didn’t hear Revolution #9 in this clip???
If he did octopus garden would be better instead he ended Ed’s whole career
Not the best song you're drunk
Even the first ten seconds of the song, you can tell Sheeran realizes that he has no idea what music is anymore. Just blew that smirk right off his face 🤯
The writing on the wall states "Без искусства нет жизни", which us literally "There is no life without art" in Russian
Everyone talking about Jack "cheating" but no ones talking about the fact that Ed challenged an unknown musician to a song writing contest just to try and prove he was better than him.
Real classy sheeran
I mean...he didn't really, it's a movie.
@@ShrubScotland Of course he did, Garry! Everything Ed does is carved into the very bedrock of history. No take backs. It's real.
Actually what Ed did is a common practice for musicians. They will challenge the musician to go into a room alone and write brand new music to prove they don't have a ghost writer or are cheating some other way at writing their music.
yes but he owns up and admits that hes beat which a lot of people wouldnt do so still props to the character
I hope you know this isn’t a documentary
The funniest part about this scene is the implication that Ed Sheeran was the greatest songwriter in the world prior to Jack showing up.
not of the world but of the moment.
Yeah, like Roger Waters, Brian Wilson, and Robert Johnson didn't happen.
@@mickeye6428 well they are not really mentioned, so if the beatles didn't happen in his world, maybe they didnt aswell, which means that this jack guy could also mimick pink floyd too and be considered twice as genious and famous.
Sadly, apparently he's only a beatles fan
@@danielrocha941 He doesn't have Pink Floyd's skill set. He's a singer and an okay piano player and guitar player. He isn't a producer.
@@mickeye6428 Yeah, neither did The Beatles. All they needed was George Martin. So what's your point?
Ed’s really a decent actor. You can just hear how his voice cracks at ‘salieri’
Even if there should be a majority vote, Ed Sheeran immediately admitted defeat and even compared Jack and himself to Mozart and Salierie.
Definitely great humility yet very crushed ego.
Definitely a great example of what losing feels like
can we all just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Ed Sheeran can actually act pretty well
Federal Bureau of Investigation not that difficult to just be yourself

xero 9ravity even though I go to drama school, take it as a GCSE and get sent forward to audition for shows all the time, like literally 2 months ago when I auditioned for an Apple TV show called Rey James.. huh. Keep talking dude, I doubt you can pull a facial expression to save your life.
And even if I couldn’t act, and I’m not claiming that I’m in any way a brilliant actor, I am still allowed to critique someone’s performance. Joaquin Phoenix is a great actor, Robert Downey JR is a great actor, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson and so on...
Ed Sheeran is not a good actor. Sorry to burst your bubble
Ed Sheeran actually agreed to be in a movie where his music is compared to the Beatles? What kind of super human humility does it take ?
It’s easy to say you aren’t as good as The Beatles because they are the greatest band in existence
@@Paul-gf6kp agreed, not a fan of the Beatles, but I have heard of their music enough to know they were the best in their era. I would more than likely say Ed sheeran is def top there in ours.
@@yummychips_ not in their era of all time lol
kinith saephan nah the Beatles are the best of all time Ed Sheeran isn’t the best of this era either
Yeah it must have been pretty humiliating being compared with THE BEATLES
The Long and Winding Road is one of the Beatles’ best songs and even over half a century later still makes a very big and powerful impact indeed.
The same is true for most of the other Beatles’ songs. Himesh Patel sang this song very well.
There is no doubt that the Beatles are to pop music what Mozart, Bach and Beethoven are to classical music - they will be played and future generations will enjoy listening to their songs, a long, long, long time after most other pop groups (with some exceptions like ABBA and The Rolling Stones) have been forgotten.
ABBA will be forgotten, as will The Rolling Stones.
@Gene Connor I’m not saying the Beatles were better - I myself am a Stones guy more than a Beatles guy - but the Stones will be forgotten nonetheless
You’ve got to put the Beach boys in that list too. Talk about musical geniuses. Brian Wilson is another.
@@sgrey9181 I seriously doubt that, you’re really understating both of their impacts on pop culture. Not to mention we live in an age of information. So even 500 years from now you will be able to search up even the most obscure bands.
@@darudesandstrom1067 I’m not saying completely forgotten, obviously there will still be some people who remember. But in 100 years if you ask the average 20-40 year old, they won’t have heard of the Rolling Stones

Underrated comment
With this interpretation you realize how beautiful "The Long and Winding Road" really is stripped to the core without those hideous Spector orchestra and choir of the original release.
The songwriting on that song is one of the most beautifully poetic on their entire catalog, let down by Spector's tunnel vision. It always needed this treatment.
Really? I always loved the orchestra in this song, this felt a little hollow to me. Then again I am used to the grandiose of a full ensemble of musicians backing Paul up
@@christianq1526 we got used to it now, so there's familiarity in that arrangement. However the song on its own is much bigger - I much prefer the "Let it be... Naked" version
@@olivarionline1 I've only listened to the naked versions of songs about once or maybe twice. I'll give em another listen, thanks for reminding me
@@christianq1526 cheers - the naked version has 'Don't let me down' as well, which strangely enough is not in the original album. It's one of my favourite Beatles songs these days.
Imagine listening to this and thinking this was composed in just 10 minutes. I'm listening to it and I have to hold back my tears! The song is beyond beautiful. And the way Himesh sings it has a lot to do with my reaction too.

That's the real disgrace, this is an alternate universe where someone is singing Beatles songs as if they've never been release, oasis rip the Beatles off and try to act like them
Ed Sheeran acknowledging his debt to the Beatles. As we go along, it’s tough to realize that what we still have of their greatness will not always be here. Love Paul and Ringo while we still have them.
Great movie...one of those movies where you just watch because you couldnt figure what to watch that day. But then you finish watching it and it changes your whole mood.
Two things, both subtle:
He captures McCartney’s slightly nuanced “you left me standing here” after the bridge perfectly.
And, I preface this by saying that I’m not really an Ed Sheeran fan nor do I dislike him, I just don’t know his music, but the look on his face after Himesh stops singing is very good acting...a very subtle look of admiration combined with sadness..very well done.
I know the Beatles are the best
I don"t think Ed had to act too much in this scene...The beauty of Mccartney"s song is stunning..wouldn"t it make any talented songwriter think twice about their value...?

@@pazdylan1873 yeah
@@pazdylan1873 I mean, he had to act like he hadn't heard it before. But I get what you mean haha.
Yep. Thought the same thing. Begrudging acknowledgment of true genius (albeit it stolen). He nailed the look and emotion.
I really like this version of the "Long and Winding Road", so raw and for me it's emotional and powerful at the same time. Nice job Jack!
If you like this version, listen to the Let It Be Naked version. Much more stripped down and raw than the Spector version that ended up on the Let It Be album
Im with you this one, its so clean and meditating to hear this version.
I just love this scene, for me easily the best scene in the movie. The genius of mccartney shone thru as bright as day
What's important to this scene... a modern-day great singer/songwriter (who is fantastic in his own right) nodding, head to the Beatles genius. and, rightfully so.
I don't think you really understand what the word "great" means. Ed Sheeran is not a "great" songwriter. He's decent and a strong performer, but do you really think Sheeran's songs are going to last as long as The Beatles?

To be fair, Paul took more than 10 minutes to write the song

@@sebastiangudino9377 exactly
Francisco Villeda “Ed is a great sport” it’s a film mate calm down
The crazy thing about the storyline of this movie is it’s a scenario where the Beatles music never existed and one guy gets to take credit for a writing a bunch of their songs, thus appearing like the greatest pop song writer in history. But most of the songs in this movie are primarily Paul McCartney compositions. And Paul McCartney had to draw these songs from nothing, not from memory. A biopic about Paul McCartneys life would be stranger than fiction.
when you hear at McCarteny interviews he makes it seem perfectly normal...like "I was reading the news and a day in the life came to my mind" (actually this was John but whatever).
I wonder why it focused of mostly McCartney songs. How was Imagine not in this movie at all.
I wonder if the John Lennon estate didn't give the OK for them to use songs written by John Lennon.
Whenever he's asked about his songwriting he often just shrugs and says ... " it just came to him "..When he sits down at the piano
there's just a black hole in front of him.. His brain - like all geniuses -
is just wired differently. There have been other great / genius songwriters but none I think can
match McCartney in variety of style and sheer number Along with his ear for melody.....it's inexplicable almost.?
I love that there's no reaction after Jack finishes., Everyone is in awe of what they just witnessed and are sitting in stunned silence.
When i heard ed's song, wow its good.
But when i heard jack's song, omg, since i myself never heard of this song, so probably i have same experience with the audience in this scene. Its amazing, how rich the emotion in this song.
Indeed, beatles's song will never old even after more than 50 years.
Arif Igo It’s in the “Let It Be” album. It’s a masterpiece.
There's two main versions of this song, first is the original release in Let It Be (1970) that had an orchestral arrangement over it by Phil Spector, and the Let It Be... Naked version from 2003 that re-mastered that song and removed said arrangement, the latter version is the closest to the cover from this clip if you wanna hear it
What I would give to hear The Beatles for the first time again.
You've never heard these songs by the Beatles? How tragic. Your parents REALLY Failed you.
@@Stiegosaurus I actually envy the guy for hearing this song for the first time.
So basically no one can top the Beatles til this day
No one can top them.
And no one ever will
Yes.
Technically Drake
Yea and especially Ed Sheershit cos his music is WAAAAAY overrated.
McCartney finds little harmonic gems that we all recognize in his songs. In this one there is the (original key of Eb)…Db (Eb in in the bass,) chord. Jack does not play it. This is perhaps what a person would do if required to transcribe the song from memory in a few minutes. Rethinking and going on little voyages of musical discovery departing from the initial idea is in most of McCartney’s tunes and possibly part of his quality control. Many composers of songs leave this step out.

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door
Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Anyway, you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
I think the point is how timeless and classic the Beatles are.
Yasss❤️❤️❤️
Who? Who are The Beatles? 😂
@@JoeLisle a legendary band
@@JoeLisle Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo.
You have a very keen sense of the obvious!...Good for you!
When asked if they think that anyone would come along that would impact the world as the Beatles did, Paul and Ringo’s response has always been, “of course there will be”. 50 plus years later, the world is still waiting.
Willy Nelson I mean, Michael Jackson is pretty high up there. Technically topped them as the best selling artist as soon as he launched his solo career and held it for the remainder of the 20th century.
@@OathOfTheThirteenth Michael was a great talent but he did not have the musical nor social impact The Beatles enjoyed, not by a long shot.
@@jamesdunn9714 Michael was also born into a musical family and didn't need to forge himself a legacy. He also had far fewer hits and while his career spanned decades, the Beatles spanned only around 7 years.
@@OathOfTheThirteenth Michael Jackson is maybe fifteen songs. Beatles...well...120?
Linkin Park duh lol lol
I'm really sorry, but this version of 'The Long and Winding Road' is my favourite of any, including The Beatles. Just the timbre of Himesh's voice and the piano speak so much to my own heart.
I love this scene, I love Ed's script, and I love Ed's acting. It feels real. He doesn't handle it well. He doesn't handle it poorly. He's very human about it: he is being a good sport, as best as he can muster. But no matter how good a sport he wants to be about it, it's very hard to accept. He does his best.
Jack: "man, I don't wanna crush his hopes and dreams..maybe Ringo's Octopus's Garden ought to be enough"...."NAH, time to destroy this man and cripple him for life!" - The Long and Winding Road it is//
Yeah I get it this is a movie and we want drama, but I doubt Jack would have picked this song to say he wrote in 10 minutes.
@@PaulSchober Maybe he did actually try to write something, then after Ed's penguin he just scrap the idea and went for the long and winding road
@@yuzutranslationch.8516 or maybe not. He was just writing something down without using any instrument so I don't think he was trying to compose a brand new song.
@@yuzutranslationch.8516 yeah, probably, he didn't have to kill a fly with a machine gun as the long and winding road is
Yesterday just the movie “across the universe” in another location
I meaaaan
basically yea
@ Aw what? Across the Universe is a great movie
Mandela effect
@ Idk if you like them, but David Bowie made a cover once or twice (think it's just once), BUT still. Absolutely no covers you like?
@CharChar
It’s just the Beatles I don’t like getting covered. I listened to their music since I was a kid. I can still recall when SGT Pepper came out, and it’s all I would listen to for the longest time. Other covers don’t bother me.
What I do love about this movie is overall it’s an appreciation of how crazy amazing the Beatles are/were and if the world was given them today for the first time they could/would still blow our minds with their music and lyrics
If the Beatles didn't exist the rolling stones or some other band would have taken their role.
Just played this months after watching the movie and it still made me cry, how good the Beatles were....wow
Dude has the Beatles catalog as his personal wingman.
It's actually quite an important song for Ed, those lyrics hit him hard. To everyone else its love, but to Ed its more than that, its his love of music. To hear someone to spontaneously create a song the reflects his love towards the very thing he works so hard for its quite heart breaking. His been in the industry for years now and someone guy just comes out of nowhere writing the very songs that hit the right emotions everytime, that is a difficult feat. Who wouldn't be look and feel defeated. I'm sure Ed is also breaking down that song to the note and hearing all the technical aspects, but he can hear it, he can hear the emotional detachment Jack has with the song. It's why he was so frustrated, how can someone touch the soul without even knowing how to do it.
Been reading these comments, and it looks like you are the only one here who got it.
One completely diffident aspect of this film - which I’m sure you got also - is that we are seeing what the world experienced 60 years ago…,that is, seeing the reactions of people hearing these songs for the first time.
Peri it’s pretty remarkable that you are the only one here who got what the filmmaker was trying to convey. I thought it was obvious; guess not.
It had nothing to do with what Ed Sheeran said, or how he reacted. It was all in his expression, mannerisms DURING Jack’s performance.
You got it..
When you bust out the long and winding road. No way to lose. One of the best songs ever written.
It's definitely one of the greatest songs ever written. That's what's amazing about the scene.
McCartney was inspired by the "calm and beauty of Scotland". Had a property there, had to access a long road, sat at a piano and wrote this song in 9 minutes, beating both Sheeran and Malik. OK, not quite, but knocked it out fast in a day. It was also about the long and winding road of their careers and relationships in the Beatles which by 1968 was going through a lot of turmoil. One of their best songs and as Sheeran said "one of the best songs I've ever heard". Who can doubt that line in the movie!?
The Long and winding road is one of emotional songs from The Beatles for me.
Don't forget that McCartney wrote this the same year he wrote Back in the USSR, Blackbird, Lady Madonna, Let it Be, Mother Nature's Son, Helter Skelter, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Birthday...And that's only Paul....Lennon and Harrison wrote another batch of classics...Man, those Beatles were pretty good.
Malik:
“Wait.. I just had an idea.. a movie.. about the rivalry between Mozart and Salieri..”
Best comment here.
tHeRe AlReAdY iS a MoViE aBoUt ThAt.
Choosing the Long and winding road in a songwriting competition is like bringing a rocket launcher to a gunfight.
The whole Mozart and Salieri comparison was the harshest of self burns
Imagine if my guy sat down and blasted out "Wild Honey Pie" lmao
That would be hilarious🤣
lol how bout "why dont we d-do it on the road"
That's my least favorite Beatles song. Wtf was Paul thinking
@@graysonhoward1562 Wut - you thought _that_ was crap?? Have you never heard _the_ worst Beatles song in history: 'You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)'!! 😹 The dreaded B-side to 'Let It Be'.
@@crystalidentity But that was intended to be bad...it was a comedy record. Cos the Beatles could do anything.
when I watched this in the cinema I actually burst out laughing (my bad) when he started with the long and winding,it was like how much do you want to destroy Sheeran in this competition by choosing one of the classic... classic songs ever written
Song name?
Just look up the lyrics bro... The Long and Winding Road
@@aliasrai Long Winding Road by the Beatles?
I had the same reaction. I saw him sitting at the piano and I started going through which Beatles songs in my head would be best with a solo piano player. In the little time I had, I settled on "Hey Jude" and that the scene would just end with the audience singing along with him. But then he started playing "The Long and Winding Road" and I just started laughing like Jack just delivered a cruel burn. Like, "holy crap Jack, that was savage."
@John Deegan Now now, calm down your testicles.
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Anyway, you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
Ed is an amazing actor facial expressions alone. To see the saddle changes in his body language through out the song starting at amused but perplexed to down right in awh, very solid
Takes your breath away when he starts singing The long and winding road. I really felt like I was one of those people in the room, hearing it for the first time. That's what I love about this movie, it reminds you how you know these songs are genius the instant you hear them.
I don’t know, I think a lot of the Beatles success is sorta like a feedback loop. They get really hyped up, then do great work again, then get hyped up again, etc etc.
Yes, they made beautiful music. But what made them was how everyone else perceived them too. There’s much better artists out there that we probably don’t even know about.
Much better artist that we haven’t heard of , much better ? Give your head a shake
@@judegnelson lmfao no there are not better artists out there than the Beatles that we don't hear about. Trust me.
@Sam0193 Exactly lmao
@@judegnelson I think the fact that the Beatles evolved with society kept them successful.
The best line of the whole film is "you're definitely Mozart and I am definitely Salieri."
probably went over 99% of the heads of the people in comments.
Not true. I think the average Beatles fan who would see a film like this is old enough to have remembered Amadeus when it came out or watched it on tape at home.
Htheorphanarian,
What is cool is It’s really a double entendre. The Mozart / Salieri analogy, and a mean spirited comment that Yoko Ono uttered when comparing John Lennon to Paul McCartney. She said something to the effect comparing John to Mozart and Paul to Salieri. I think it was a cleaver nod / counter to that statement in that the song “The Long and Winding Road” was actually a Paul composition. If Lennon was a modern-day Mozart, Paul would certainly be the modern-day equivalent to Beethoven with George as the modern equivalent to Chopin.👍
@@jasminebeth5328 Paul is the modern day Mozart. Lennon would be a better choice for Beethoven, Paul's song "Michelle" has a guitar sound he has spoken about as being a nod to Mozart.
@@jasminebeth5328 and ringo would be mozarts friend. And if you mess with mozart, you get a bullet.
I love how the Beatles are so great that the idea of a random person writing all their songs is amazing
I love the fact that Ed Sheeran is enough of a genius to know that this song is brilliant and has no ego about getting beat.
Like it takes a genius to see that the sky is blue.
You watch that comparison and the long and winding road takes on a whole new meaning. You REALLY see the difference between good songwriters and iconic composers. McCartney is truly gifted. Touched by the Gods
I think Jack should have played Imagine..not a Beetles song , but a Lemon song so he probably knows it
Touched? Smothered, soused, saturated, marinaded by the Gods.... No one person got such talent since Will F-ing Shakespeare. And yes - I did skip Mozart....
@@neilbrown8631 Mozart is nothing compared to McCartney. Bit joking by the way, mozart is known by all people for good reason. But McCartney? Damn!
Was thinking the exact same thing
@@Meneervdberg Nobody is better than Mozart. Sorry.
Ed: “That..... was one of the best things I’ve ever heard.”
Jack: “Ah thanks, man. Yeah your Penguins thing was fun, too.”
Ed: “😐🔫”
God, I can just feel the envy seething from Ed's character. Every little thing he does after Jack is done playing, just screams "I hate you, but I am blown away by your talent."
Ed is a humble guy to do a scene like this. Props
I always laugh when I think of what it would be like in Ed Sheeran's head to hear this for the first time and think, "WTF?!?!? What just happened? Where did THAT come from? I am totally outclassed." It would be so crushing to be the famous singer-songwriter and be blown away by someone no one's ever even heard of. Sheeran did a great job of portraying the stunning realization while remaining classy. I know ifs just a movie, but weirdly my respect for him increased from this scene. I also think that the movie made many of us Beatles fans "re-hear" their music and appreciate their genius anew. And the Lennon-by-the-Sea scene was unexpectedly poignant, especially the upside-down "Imagine" on the boat. This is up there with The Commitments as my favorite music movie.
Poor guy, I felt so bad for him, he was so sad walking off the stage
It's a movie dude.
- Stiegosaurus - r/woooosh
Trust me he’s not sad, he’s happy that he just heard one of the best songs he’s ever heard, as a musician if I was in his place I’d bow down, but obviously in our world we know it’s not his song haha.
Daniel Michael yea of course but in the movie Ed actually had to work for his career and to get where he is and jack gets it in days by stealing from the Beatles. Ik it’s a movie but damn you gotta feel bad for Ed
of course he did, he was crushed there...
I honestly can't imagine a world without a world without the Beatles, some of the best memories I have are of my mother, my hippy mother, dancing with me in the kitchen to John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Ed sheeran is droping this Penguin track😭❤️
Imagine is this scene had a plot twist where Ed Sheeran also remembers The Beatles and starts singing one of their songs
Comes in with In My Life and Jack is just like “crap.”
Would acc be so good
How do you know Ed Sheeran isn't the only one who remembers some other band?
that would have been awesome
Ed 40 years later: “It wasn’t Jack who was laughing at me, IT WAS GOD!”
“Go on, mock me! Laugh!”
Now that's a deep cut!
Too many notes i suppose
Good reference
Grazie signore
During my lifetime, which started in 1952, the biggest musical influences have been the Beatles and Ed Sheeran. To see them in this movie is like watching the sunrise. Younger people cannot fully appreciate the immeasurable impact of them. But rest assured, we all fell in love listening to their music. Thanks for the memories
Are u 69 years old right now?
Ed sheeran? What 😂
I listened to this 2 times in a row and both times tears streamed down my cheeks by the end of the performance. I really cannot understand why?
That's the beauty of music.
