Product Description

Set in America during the Vietnam War, Across the Universe is a powerful love story set against a backdrop of political and social unrest: it's a story of soul-searching, self-doubt, and individual powerlessness cleverly conveyed through a multitude of Beatles songs. Like young adults all across America during the 1960's, Jude (Jim Sturgess), Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), Max (Joe Anderson), Sadie (Dana Fuchs), Prudence (T.V. Carpio), and JoJo (Martin Luther) are in turmoil over the war; questioning their individual roles in the war effort and struggling to find a way to hold true to their beliefs while making a difference in the world. While love proves a powerful uniting force, its limitations become clear as relationships are strained and broken over individual perceptions of responsibility to cause and country. A fairly bizarre juxtaposition of extremely stylized, almost hallucinogenic scenes of swirling colors and reflections, highly choreographed dance segments, seemingly commonplace character interaction, and emotionally packed close-up footage of characters lost in contemplative song, this film imparts a good sense of the confusion and passion of the time and is at once powerful, invigorating, and disturbing. The film runs a bit long at 2-hours 11-minutes and several segments drag noticeably thanks to some incredibly slow song tempos. Warning: this production may change how you think about a favorite Beatles song forever. --Tami Horiuchi Beyond Across the Universe

Excellent Beatles Rendition June 15, 2009
Anna R. Smolek (Indiana, USA)
Was a great movie depicting the era of the Vietnam war. It remade a lot of the Beatles' songs, doing an incredible likeness. It made me fall in love with their songs again, along with the era. I would highly recommend this movie to any music lover, especially to those who loved the Beatles.
Love the movie and the music June 5, 2009

I rented this movie originally just to hear the Beatles soundtrack..then after that HAD to have it. Must have watched it at least ten times already..all the characters are good, the music still fantastic, and the second extras disc has lots of interesting stuff too. I bought two so I could give one as a gift. I enjoyed everything, including the fact that the two or three "leads" were all practically unknowns. If you like musicals, Beatles, a short 60s history lesson, it's all there..enjoy!
done so well June 3, 2009

this movie is a grate reminder of the way it was. The musical performances were very well done. The way they depickted the music was very tasteful. The Fab four would very much aprove of the way there songs were used. The stoy of then being so well told now. Evan Rachel Wood should be reconised very highly for her work.Hope to see more of what she can do...........
