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.
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?
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.

Correction: If you watch carefully as the mug comes into shot you can see it is still the same clear mug and you can see the liquid. However, when John moves the mug (still in the same shot) so that he is holding it with both hands it appears opaque. Jack's mug is also less obviously clear in this shot. The illusion appears to be due to a changed camera angle compared to the earlier shot in which both mugs were see-through, possibly combined with a change in the natural light.
