This has to be by far my favorite scene from the movie. Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite comes in second. I loved the style of this movie so much. Julie Taymor has a great artistic style and it definitely shows in this film.
To learn how to hear the hidden message in Beatles songs, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read through the section about The Beatles. This could change the world. Thumbs up this comment, copy and paste on other beatles songs
@theairsoftrebel It's a bit heavy of a topic for a school musical- though, Rent and Miss Saigon are too and there have been high school versions. Another issue is Across The Universe would probably be a very advanced stage show to pull off, especially for a high school student and tech team.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EVERY SONG IN THIS MOVIE!!! this song is well done and choreographed! :) great job to everyone in this production <3 I have literally lost count to how many times i have watched this movie <3
Rush1013 You have downs because thats a cottonball he eats...It says after this song..."I ate all of those cottonballs and they didn't even x-ray me!" you sir have downs
i love how they use the statue of liberty for "she's so heavy" thumbs up too Across the Universe for being the band that can make covers of Beatles songs and do it well
I think the film was intelligent, the dance sequences were brilliant. The use of the Beatles songs to separate scenes and depict a happening in the history of that era was spot on. I love Eddie Izzard, but I thought his depiction of Mr Kite was perhaps the weakest performance in the film.
i guess hes gonna play a vampire in the twilight breaking dawn movie....they should write in a singing part and the twilight series would be slightly less painful.....lmfao

@AAmmyy22 I took this from Wikipedia and it's probably why it's missing:
In the US, this 31-track version is available solely at Best Buy stores and in a digital version from iTunes, while in Europe it is available at other retail outlets. A second version of the deluxe edition is available at other retail outlets and digital download suppliers. The second version differs from the 31-track version in that it omits two tracks ("Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)")

@Razzo11x I listened to the across the universe version before the beatles version. of Mr. Kite...n i was really hoping that in the beatles version someone would say "Have you seen it? It's really great. It has stuff"
@yukikokaoin IMHO, It was to personify the view of many of the anti-war protesters of the time that when you go into the army, you're almost a tool for the government's destruction, doing exactly as all the others do and never stepping out of line. When they did that to their faces, they were purposely trying to make them seem very threatening and robotic.
@darklink594 Becoz it will show as a shadow if they check his body for cancer and shit like that :) And they can't use a kid with cancer, thank god for that.
@OctagonalTriangle I liked how they put other Beatle's songs into their dialogue, props and backgrounds! Very ingenious! But I do agree with you, that was one of the BEST quotes from the movie!
It's anti draft not army. If I were in those days and pissed off about war i'd go to Vietnam and be a medic or nurse or something. Instead of dancing barefoot around a bonfire doing drugs. I'd be healing the victims of war.
@dude48124 That is soooo not true. The purpose of that part of the movie is to make the point to people like YOU that the army basically took you out of your everyday life, stripped you of everything, and shipped you off to Vietnam i think it was to fight for us. That is the purpose. Not organized rape.
This scene is so powerful! It articulates an image I always had in my head when I thought about young guys being sent off to fight; cannon fodder on a conveyor belt. So tragic. I LOVE the army guys dancing with the recruits, this choreography was flawless because I think that's an awkward thing to get right.
XD His face is priceless! He's like, "oh God! I'm loosing it!"
Awww! Poor guy!
