Description

Across the Universe, from director Julie Taymor, is a revolutionary rock musical that re-imagines America in the turbulent late-1960s, a time when battle lines were being drawn at home and abroad. When young dockworker Jude (Jim Sturgess) leaves Liverpool to find his estranged father in America, he is swept up by the waves of change that are re-shaping the nation. Jude falls in love with Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), a rich but sheltered American girl who joins the growing anti-war movement in New York's Greenwich Village. As the body count in Vietnam rises, political tensions at home spiral out of control and the star-crossed lovers find themselves in a psychedelic world gone mad. With a cameo by Bono, Across the Universe is "the kind of movie you watch again, like listening to a favorite album." (Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES)

    This is on my favorites list. Great cast, music, choreography and homage to the 1960’s. Beatles music will continue to live on for generations.

    This is incredible. A lot of Beatles fans will love the stories that the movie gave to these songs. There are even little Easter eggs that fans too will also notice.

    What a lame excuse not to like a movie. Reviewers should spend more time evaluating the movie not their relationship to their time! Anyway fun movie of the "Baby Boomer' era. Evan Rachel Wood as always decorates any film she's in.

    This is a really great film as it takes the viewers on a winding road of beautiful music, magical scenery, wonderful cameos & awesome acting by the very talented cast. Truly breathtaking visually. I saw it twice at the theater, that’s how much I love it. I bought the DVD with extras. Watching the extras was another wonderful treat. This is a movie to experience over & over again. Oh, Darling! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ’œπŸ¦„πŸ’œπŸ¦„
