“Yesterday” is a wonderful movie on many levels, when Jack sings “Let It Be” his family and their friends let nothing be, but at the end of the movie Jack himself decides to let it be, surrendering his ambition to reality. “Yesterday” is my new favourite movie (fyi my old favourite movie was “Groundhog Day”, so it’s been a while). It is interesting to note the variations in the lyrics of this video clip compared with the popular version (with “song lyrics” being one of the themes of “Yesterday”, not only in the “Eleanor Rigby” sequence, but in the way the lyrics of various songs tie into the events taking place).
