Is there anybody going to listen to my story All about the girl who came to stay? She's the kind of girl you want so much It makes you sorry; Still, you don't regret a single day. Ah girl! Girl! Girl...
That's the intro song of the movie I'm gonna talk about. Across the Universe is a drama musical using The Beatles' songs.
It's so visually alluring with psychedelic transition and kinda funny choreography.. It talks about lovers in the 60's during the age of developing counterculture, revolution, left-side politics, drugs, sex and rock and roll. And what really makes me like this movie is that there is magic in all the characters, especially the main characters, Jude and Lucy.
Their voices singing The Beatles' songs and the visualization in every song they sing really makes me fall in love with this movie.
My favorite part of this movie is when Jude pins up the strawberries.. wow, i could have eaten all those fresh, pulpy, red strawberries.. he souldn't pin those on the wall.. but anyhow that is a piece of art that i've never seen, and after he pinned up all the strawberries, he destroys it with some other strawberries by throwing them as a red pulpy bomb. This is the best part of the movie and what it's all about, strawberries hmm (why do i only think the food part?)
Another part that i like is the dreamy part, where the characters sing "Because" lying on the grass and then fade out to a scene where Jude and Lucy twisted slowly underwater with clouds dissolving in the water as they embrace, while the other characters dances in the background by turn. I think this movie deserves an award for their visualization, they just got the picture in the right song and moment. I love this movie. You should watch it and if you have, you should love it. =D
