Yesterday (2019)
Directed by: Danny Boyle
Starring: Lily James, Ellise Chappell, Sophia Di Martino, Himesh Patel
Continuity mistake: When Jack is at Deborah's California place talking to her on the couch her arm swaps from raised to lowered between shots.
Continuity mistake: During the performance of "Help!" on the rooftop at the beach, the weather changes from cloudy to sunny (and vice versa) instantly in different shots.
Trivia: In the talk show dream sequence, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are introduced, and there is a shot of their two pairs of feet, one of which is barefoot. This is a reference to the cover of the album Abbey Road in which Paul is the only Beatle barefoot.
Trivia: Himesh Patel does all his own singing in this film.
Trivia: Ed Sheeran's real-life wife plays the flight attendant on his plane.
Jack Malik: It's times like this I wish I hadn't given up smoking. I could murder a cigarette.
Rocky: Yeah. What's a cigarette?
Rocky: Love your work, man.
Ed Sheeran: Thanks.
Rocky: Especially the rapping.
Ed Sheeran: Really?
Rocky: No, I'm only kidding. No, leave it to the brothers, I say.
Ellie Appleton: Miracles happen all the time.
Jack Malik: Like what?
Ellie Appleton: Benedict Cumberbatch becoming a sex symbol.
Question: If there was no Beatles, where did the toy yellow submarine come from?
Answer: It is just a toy submarine molded or repainted in yellow. Only the 'stalker' fans know the reference to the Beatles song.
Answer: I think it was so those 2 people that knew of the Beatles could prove they knew the Beatles song, since presumably that was a song Jack forgot about.
Answer: None of these answers explain why it's shaped the same as the submarine from "yellow submarine." It's a specific shape that didn't exist before the Beatles, so shouldn't exist.
Question: When Jack plays Let It Be the second line refers to "Mother Mary." Wouldn't that seem odd to an Indian family?
Answer: Considering there are close to 20 million Catholics in India and Jack seems to be pretty assimilated into English culture (his name is Jack after all), it probably wouldn't seem that remarkable.

Answer: Believe it or not, the Beatles did not invent the idea that a submarine could be yellow, and yellow toy submarines were sold for children to play with.
