Daniel Day Lewis killed it as Ed Sheeran. He is truly the greatest actor of our time.
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
Hats off to Ed for taking this role.
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.
I like how Jack finishes singing and there is dead silence because everyone realises they've just heard one of the greatest songs ever written, and it was written (as far as they know) effectively before their eyes.
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.
I don't know Sheeran's music, but his willingness to appear in this film as the person who is able to sustain the humiliation of someone flying in unbelievable work, and admitting it, shows that he is a huge fan of the Beatles and not too stuck on himself. It is a highly commendable signal.
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
The actor who plays Ed Sheeran really looks like Ed Sheeran. Great casting!!!
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 🤔
Gotta love how Ed’s attitude is so humble… man no one can compare himself to The Beatles, plain and simple
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
I like Ed Sheeran, but the long and winding road is a masterpiece, he straight up ended Ed right there
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.
"Hm, I could maybe pull out out 'Yellow Submarine' or 'Octopus's garden'
"Soon to be defeated Jack Malik!"
"Long and Winding Road it is"
The most touching thing about this scene is Jack's look at the end, the guilt he feels towards Ed.
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
You know, I genuinely felt bad for Ed during this scene, there was a lot of honest feeling in his voice. . . But then he suggested Hey Dude and my pity left me
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 :)
Man. Ed Sheeran did a GREAT acting job here. You felt his pain but also his humility.
I love Ed's humbleness, I think he himself wouldn't compare his own writing ability to Paul's even though he's a genius himself
Is it really THAT humble to admit that you're not better than the Beatles? :D
I loved this scene. and he really played it well. I mean no one in their right mind is going to compare to that song. but ed really captures the heart wrenching sting as if it was real. for a singer he is also a hell of an actor. I mean he is sitting there and it's like the dagger is sticking out of his chest and he is telling someone to shag they guy and then he fucking twists the knife himself with the Mozart/ Salieri line! talk about ballsy! seriously great acting by Ed!
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
I like how Ed Sheeran delivers this mixture of hurt artist's vanity and spot-on instinct that something isn't right here. Genius is supposed to show in a person, right, so how can it be that this Jack guy who seems so slow and uninpired when you talk to him just gives out epic songs as if he were handing out pizza leaflets at a street corner? Great scene.
A bit understated in these clips, but I love how powerful the Russian guy's emotions were, just his facial expression, realizing that no, he's not crazy... that the Beatles must have actually existed.
It is taken for granted how great these versions are. The composition and the singing wasn't something just thrown together. It isn't a simple knock off. These are beautifully crafted versions. Himesh Patel is fantastic. I love these more simplistic versions. Patel has the voice to pull them off without the full orchestras and back up singers. He makes it believable that the songs are great enough to transcend time and trends. The original storyline was that Jack still doesn't achieve success even with these songs. That was realistic; but I love this fantasy.
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
Agreed. I’ve listened to this clip over and over because I think this version is just fantastic. I even like it more than the movie soundtrack’s version. For some reason, this one just stirs my soul.
I love the salieri and Mozart comparison. Having watch Amadeus movie over and over brings back quite a memory
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..
Ed taking this role brought me great respect for him. He’s not comparing himself to the Beatles, because, well, no one can.
My favorite part of the movie. We know he didn't write The Long and Winding Road, but I was delighted by how Jack totally obliterates Ed just with the first verse.
It's a very pretty song but not lyrically great
first line pretty much
Seen this movie at least 4 times in its entirety and I am still fascinated by the video clips from it. I mean as a kid I used to fantasies about being a huge music star with songs that I could go back in time with and people could hear for the first time and then suddenly this movie appeared. Just an amazing film that hopefully will be seen by more and more people as time goes on.
Ed Sheeran is one incredibly talented guy and an amazing big, big man to have agreed to such a scene.
I didn't even know the bloke, I just became an admirer and a huge fan.
Can we just get a moment for the you are definitely Mozart, and I am definitely Salieri line?
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.
Ed Sheeran once entered an Ed Sheeran Look-Alike Contest in Monte Carlo and he came in third. The winner got this role.
ed sheeran wrote a song that is so ed sheeran-ish I might as well say i ve heard it somewhere too
Ed sheeran's voice is like the beautiful decorated smooth ice present on moutain glaciers....
Like an i iceberg ❄️
I WONDER WHO THIS ED GUY IS!!
Ed Sheeran is awesome . The all song is absolutely astonishing
I've never seen this movie, but this is one of my favorite music based scenes in all of cinema.
Just love how in the roles the characters are for such an outlandish premise to the point of making it absolutely believable. That this is the first time these people are hearing one of the greatest songs ever written and it's authentic.
Its nuts how that song made Ed's sound like a middle schooler wrote it, crazy
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.
i drove 5 hours to watch this months early, and i was not disappointed one bit.
This scene shows the joyful experiment of this film, to challenge us to even begin to imagine for ourselves a world without knowing Beatles music. This scene also demonstrates the awe in which the original songwriters are held. It's just perfect and awe inspiring and everyone involved felt it and portrayed it.
There's no shame in being upstaged by Sir Paul.
theres such a tragic tone to this scene. i havent seen the movie, but just the image of ed sheeran, a phenomenal songwriter in his own right, seeing this kid with what he believes is an incredible talent for the very same thing, and feeling threatened. to the point that he challenges him, almost to prove to himself that he has nothing to worry about. he goes out and performs his song with great songwriting, but then just gets absolutely demolished by jack. playing a song he didnt even write. and feeling so completely defeated and doubting himself because of it. its just so sad to me, and incredibly well acted by ed sheeran.
can't watch this movie without goosebumps or some solid tears...
just. loved. it...
and yea. Ed's the man for taking the role. especially after chris martin backed out...
the sheer audacity of using The Long and Winding Road for a 'spontaneous song contest'! He totally ended the other guy.
like bringing an atomic bomb to a knife fight....
There is absolutely no shame in comparing yourself to the best of Beatles and losing.
But it was really cool that Ed agreed to playing this role.
Ed: I'm going to sing a song about penguins!
Jack: I'm going to end this man's career.
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.
🤣🤣🤣
The story is very clever.
When I went to a theatre tp see it, I was skeptical that the movie could pull off a world without Beatles. Turns out they did, even included what the Fab Four were up to if they had not been in a music group.
I really loved this film, I went and saw it twice, and here so much later, I would watch it again.
On a side note, this film introduced Ed Sheeran to me. Lovely voice, talented songwriter.
awesome
Ed Sheeran is like a 1970's song writer in the wrong decade with the wrong material to work with.
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.
I think he should've picked "Blackbird"--still a fantastic song, but much more spur of the moment type thing.
This was the best movie I ever saw besides bohemian rhapsody.....what a great concept ...what if no one knew who the Beatles are except you ??? What would you do ??? Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏. Loved the entire cast in this .
Why did you pull out the "The long and winding road"? That is just pure murder.
"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.
That smirk and look that Rocky gives Ed at 4:06 is so underrated
Yeah I like that part too. it says dude you just got rolled!
I actually really liked Ed's song
could've picked something like I am the Walrus, and still won. seriously, this song is too OP
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
The Amadeus/Mozart reference is a chef’s kiss to end the scene.
that blonde girl in the front row is why millions of teenage boys will try to become rock stars
I tried her...she was average ;)
I have only watched this 20 times and I have cried EVERY TIME!
Boa noite, esse cantor, é bom demais. Adorei o vídeo.
The Beatles were incredible. As I grow older I appreciate their genius more and more.
my favorite part of this movie is the stunned reactions of the few others who remember and that they found each other and jack.
Such a wonderful movie. Thank you.
I thought for sure Ed knew what was up for a while.
I like how the audience at the concert are only decently excited. Not jumpin around or dancing or anything. The most polite attendance of all time
Such an amazing and emotional movie.
One of the Great scenes from a very good movie! Cheers
No matter what story is told, no matter the time, the beatles will always be great!
imagine for a moment a world without the Beatles !!
Here’s someone who clearly gets the plot of the movie. You’re a total genius to come up with that all by yourself
After being crushed, Ed Sheeran left music and became a Honda Jr. Associate. He's been living a quiet and quaint life ever since 😁
Isso mostra como as músicas dos Beatles estão à frente do tempo
Nothing can beats the long and winding road
That mozart and salieri line has got me curious for so long. Now I'm glad i know.. Cool line by ed.
I so hope you've now watched the movie "Amadeus." One of the best films of all time.
That look at 04:05 that his friend gives Ed Sheeran is epic. It's like "oh shit, you didn't see that coming, did you?
Tremendous respect and admiration for Ed Sheeran.
Brilliant scene
A wonderful film
I gotta say, Ed Sheeran did very well in this movie. Not sure if he acted in a movie before but for someone that is not an actor, his perfomance here was really good
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY GOT THIS ED GUY TO PLAY ED SHERAN!
Jack cheated - there was just one rule: "It can't be anything you've written before, nothing in your bottom drawer." So in terms of fairness, he should have at least chosen some obscure Beatles song he barely remembered.
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.
The phenomenon of The Beatles was more than just music. It was The Fab Four, a combination of personality, talent and exuberance.
This movie means that we, who grew up in the sixties, had the greatest music breakthroughs of all times.
I'm a 56 Yr old British Veteran and I like Ed Sheeran and I love every moment of it... Good music truly is the dog's bollocks 👍
great movie
Loved the way Jack’s friend looked at Ed Sheeran at 4:07 while Jack is still singing, knowing well that there is probably no competition left.
Hats off to Ed. Good sport!
Cool movie clip
Ed Sheehan shows great humility when comparing his little song to one of the Beatles greatest hits. I doubt that many folks will be humming a Ed Sheehan tune a hundred years from now, whereas...
el multiverso existe.
What a sad world it would've been without The Beatles.
U can imagine what it was like the first time McCartney came up with that .
Perfectly highlights the genius of McCartny
Saw this in a theater when it came out. When you-know-who opened his front door, the entire audience gasped.
ED WAS BASICALLY BEING HIMSELF IN THIS MOVIE!
That’s… the whole point

@@fezzik7619 SHUT UP CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!
@@fezzik7619 SHUT UP AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!
@@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.
The Beatles are truly untouchable.
Wish Ed Sheeran still wrote his own music. Nothing will beat The A Team. Hope I’m not the only one who feels this way.
Wow I'm speechless Ed sheeran is one incredibley talented guy always will be my personal favourite
I'm starting to think I should watch this movie
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!
The thing that strikes me is that someone did actually write all these songs and changed music forever. You favorite artist was inspired by someone who was inspired by these songs.
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
This scene speaks to the all out masterpiece The Long and Winding Road really is. It’s comparable to the Sistine Chapel or the Mona Lisa. Ed basically saying, I’m a great songwriter, but I’m not Paul McCarntney.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I mean, the Penguins song is a hell of a song to come up with in 10 minutes. The problem is, not only did Jack decided to bust out The Long and Winding Road, he actually improved on the original by simplifying it and removing all the excess instrumentation that I felt detracted from the original Beatles recording.
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.
The invasion of america was incredible, but those living then, would understand, in the height of the cold war, the Beatles were invited to perform in russia....instead of stopping it, the powers opened the second performance to anyone who came, believing nobody would show, but 400,00 showed up....thats what the song was about...
Salieri was a brilliant composer. His music was used in the movies The Last Castle and Iron Man. Listen to his Ouverture to Les Danaïdes.
The best part of the movie. Amazing songs but Beatles is Beatles, right?!
Too bad they cut out the part where he sang something. It was phenomenal
Ed is a pretty good actor too …
I could feel his bewilderment after Jack’s song :)
The guy with the beard standing there in stunned silence is how I'd be hearing a band that I thought was lost forever.
Wait ed's song actually not bad i want a full version
I remember when this album came out. It was a great year. Britney had just launched her career with …Baby One More Time, Christina Aguilera with Genie In A Bottle, Rollergirl (anyone remember her?), Sash and on it goes… brilliant years the early 2000’s.
Such a great premise for a movie. Only one person knows the euvre of one of the most well know bands in the worlds
My favorite part of this movie.
Mozart and Salieri comment , brilliant by Ed.
Any great artist who’s gone against Robert Johnson of Art Tatum has felt this.
