Across the Universe

[Saint]

Well, I saw it. Good movie. I liked the songs, storyline was sorta strange, and the references were really cheesy. All the characters were named after songs. There was Jude (Hey Jude), Lucy (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds), Sadie (Sexy Sadie), Max (Maxwells Silver Hammer), Prudence (Dear Prudence), Jojo (Get back), and Rita (Lovely Rita). Jojo was my favorite character. He looked like Jimi Hendrix, dressed like him, and played in the same style as him. In one of the scenes, Sadie's dressing him up for their gig, and she dresses him like Jimi, Headband and all. Maxwell looked sorta like Kurt Cobain. It's funny to see how they used some of the songs. Like for 'I Want You', it was Maxwell going to the Military building to be drafted, and all of the posters of Uncle Sam come to life and start singing, and then at the part where it goes "She's so Heavy', they're carrying the Statue of Liberty. Pretty clever. Over all it was a pretty good movie, and if you're a Beatles fan, I definatley say you go see it.

They didn't play some of my favorite songs hough...like Here comes the Sun, and Maxwells Silver hammer.
And I don't know whether I should be happy or sad that I got ALL of the references, like the apple, the concert and the Psychedelicatessen.
And though its not my favorite, they didn't play Yellow Submarine either...

This movie is based on The Beatles music right? I only liked Revolution. Sounds cool though.

yeah i want to see this so very much.

last night chris and i cranked the surround sound soundtrack of Love (the cirque du soli show with Beatles music). if you are a Beatles fan i highly recommend. the music is so crisp, and there is a depth so wonderful to the sound.
