The movie’s premise shook me up a bit, just thinking about what it would be like if the Beatles never existed. They are the soundtrack of many of our lives.

They are the soundtrack only because the exist. If they didn't exist you'd be none the wiser and other songs would be the soundtrack.

EXACTLY but we have idiots on here that don't understand that and think music would just die off if it were for these pathetic Beatles.

When it comes to inspiration music is an complex web of influences as is all art. So if the Beatles didn't exist it's possible some of my favorite bands wouldn't.
Other than that I've never really cared for them.

As for the movie it's nothing special.

It's not just music that would be different. The Beatles had an immense cultural influence across the board: art, politics, spirituality, politics, philosophy, worldviews. Without them, a very different world in every way.

I think that is why in the film Oasis didn’t exist because they were so influenced by the beatles.
