@prophetsofspace Actually... not quite. There are many different speculations on the song meaning. However, if anything, it was written to Lennon's son on how to deal with divorce or just a personal song of McCartney's feelings on divorce and going with change, etc.
awe it gave me shivers xD Everyone's having so much fun, and it doesn't matter who can sing, and who can't.. it's beautiful, it's what the song was meant for.
I love this song so much, I wish casts would do this more often. Just sing in parks with nothing but instruments and themselves. No stage, no huge groups of camera crews.
I love this cast so much, Jim is love.
They're all incredible, I love how they're singing with the crowd. This entire project is so inspirational :)
I see the better camera next to sadie filming as well as a whole bunch of people in the audience filming and then the pan around you see a sound boom. I would love to see the other videos of this, there has to be more than the few on here. This is the coolest thing that these guys just sprung up in the park to sing.
Hippies, perhaps. People gathering to listen to some of the greatest words of peace ever sung? Definately. The Beatles changed the world and their music helped bring social change that was greatly needed in this country - who knows, maybe their lyrics will once again inspire people to seek peace - this time on a global level.
Hahaha! Looks like CONCRETE13 didn't see the movie or know what he's talking about! If you wanted to generate some serious backlash from your comment you've got it! Congrats! For those of you who slammed him as a conservative, you guys could be blindly stereotyping. I think this guy just wants some controversy. Look at his profile. His comment here isn't the first inflammatory thing he's done. Who knows, he could be a "liberal" whose trying to see what's it like from the "other side." ;)
I've seen the film today and I loved..may be a little bit faster some parts but.. waw, it's great. When I'm older I wanna be like Jim!, or like Max, or like Lennon hehehe. Amazing!! Oh! an advice: the spanish translation sucks, so watch it in original version!
amazing. i can't believe jim plays guitar...and has an amazing voice. across the universe is my favorite movie. it's one of those movies that only comes along once in a while. it's fantastic.
I wish there was footage of the entire principal cast doing a press gig together. It seems that there was never one when all six of them were together. Makes me sad :*(
This is by far, one of the best movies I have ever watched in my 18 years of life. I literaly cried at the end. The beatles are one of my all time favorite groups and usualy when there is a remake of anything [including songs] its turns out to be a flop. But this movie wasn't, it was just perfect. I'm sure every member of the beatles would be/are proud.
I miss the days when artists dared make music that awoke the minds and hearts and consciences of the people. Social movements had oragnizers and bards to inspire. I don't know that there are these people now and I feel we languish directionless while overcome by forces we detest but tolerate by our inaction. I know we believe. I wish we would act.
