I enjoyed the movie Yesterday, but the idea that Beatles songs could have been introduced to people today and they'd be bangers is so weird. Without any cultural inertia, some of them might land as quirky novelty songs, but mostly not the big hits.
I feel like “X walked so Y could fly” is really true in any art. The Beatles feel trite now, but at the time they were trailblazers. It’s like going back to play the first Final Fantasy and realizing it kinda sucks.
I haven't seen it, but the premise had me wondering if they intended to explore the influence of the Beatles in kind of a It's A Wonderful Life way, or just have a modern musician introduce the world to "I Want To Hold Your Hand." I'd be into the first one.
What’s kind of amazing though is that I didn’t listen to a lot of The Beatles until I was an adult - and I’m still not a huge fan - but I could hear SO MANY other bands in their music. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, *The Pixies*, to name just a few. They were immensely influential.
