Across the Universe: 'Come Together' DVD quality

[tomasmm]

The Cafe Huh? where they play with Sadie makes reference to the Cafe Wha? in NYC.

According to the Cafe Wha? website "The Café Wha? was the original stomping ground for prodigies Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. Bruce Springsteen, Peter, Paul & Mary, Kool and the Gang, as well as comedians, Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby also began their road to stardom on this historic stage."

[pameladnash]

crazy guy at 1:12 made me happy. haha he was GETTIN. IT.

[pameladnash]

my favorite part of this movie. my kid always comes with these strange movies and then they grow on me. hand movements at 0:46 is what gave me chills.

[LimesRGreenLemons]

love the funkyness of this version

[kaycie92]

1:23 CHILLS

[cheeto4sure]

this movie is gay but this part kicks ass

[askmemuch704]

my teacher is in this:)))

[KiTtYClAwZ24]

the prossie in the red played Faith Evans in Notorious???

[talkindurinthemovie]

I love the scene where you can see all the factions of the 60's like the hippies the activist the black panthers

[masonrox2547]

pimp!

[Yilly47]

3:29 At this point my little brother walked in and said "That man needs to be shot." and continued to do the spinny man's dance thing into the kitchen. (1:53) I am so proud of him.

[nonner01]

better than lennon, and i love them to

[TheWeskerman]

imagin the black dude was like "is this what white ppl do everyday?"

[whomad132]

Thumbs up for the awesome spinny guy. And the sexy prossies.

[sage4000]

1:48 guy trips lol

[JnFlo312]

i dont think they could have possibly found a better person to sing this song..

[bryolijosh]

fuckin love joe cocker

[DragoSolst]

Everytime Cocker covers a beatles song, it comes out amazing...

Btw...Al Pacino as the pimp we all truly know he is on the inside!

[cybercair]

@DragoSolst

[SuperPressie]

love the air guitar

[1964ford00]

yeah i like how that one guy just spins out in the middle of the street like "yeah im gona get hit by a car"

[Sunburnedslayer]

@ 2:23 what exactly does he say. lots of sources say different things.

[xparty6984]

@Sunburnedslayer he says"Hold you in his arm chair you can feel his disease.

[Candy6572]

I like it being sang like this i try to do this but im a girl so yaaaaa

[johnnahodil]

joe cockers great...this whole movie was badass!! but this song set the whole tone...loved it,...and i never was a beatles fan!...but this is to awesome to not watch 4 or 5 times

[Sassyscottishlassy]

Offt, JoJo can play that guitar

[chillsoz]

i love this soooo much!!

[wonderinstuff22]

they're all joe cocker

[blacksabbathacdcrock]

1:26 I think he is joe cocker too

[missyddasinga]

[memorylaine]

or is Joe Cocker playing different parts... trippy

[memorylaine]

but who else is in here, theres Joe Cocker, who are the others... I know but won't come to me

[blacksabbathacdcrock]

Joe Cocker Rocks!!!!!!

[TRRProductions09]

My 50-summat year-old art teacher loves this movie, and has, in his travels, met every one of the kinds of people personified in this video.

[NikkiDeBella]

They did a great version of this song for one of my fave movies Across The Universe. Much Love. <3

[tkevinh15]

wait that guys name is jojo? i thought that hendricks!!!

[TheBlackblood96]

@tkevinh15 dumbass he died

[ArmidianKnight]

I love this song, but I wouldn't say it's the best cover in the movie. I personally think "I want you (She's so heavy)" is, but hey, that's me. lol

[istepic]

Odlično Majo , super verzija !!

[maunaka0ne]

Old Joe, one of kind vocalist!

[cquerales]

I think is the best cover in the whole movie

[timmay41189]

I agree! ever cover in this movie is fantastic, but this...

[lynyrdpez]

I totally agree with you...

[Brittany0414]

Guy back right trips at !:49 just thought id point that out. lol

[MegearaErotica]

Lol, I saw that too when I watched this.

[ArmidianKnight]

@Brittany0414

ROFL!!

[krelly123]

this is a great cover but nothin could ever beat the beatles!!

[Guigley]

The guy at 1:13 is friggin' hilarious.

[siljebaben]

haha thanks u , never seen him before :D

[Sunburnedslayer]

@Guigley He is totally gonna get hit by a car! LOL

[ChaosIsAwesome]

Catchy.

[animelover000111]

His voice is so raspy and dark, so perfectly done! They did good for the Beatles!

[fatnspecs]

i luv joe crocker ...

[LPstudioPP]

Dirtiest sound outa that tele! Gotta love it!

[squibster]

Hell yeah man, that tele was sweet. I just love this song and across the universe did it justice.

[everythingismyne]

@LPstudioPP Uh! Ya! You know that's right!

[SnakeCorps01]

Joe Cocker is a freakin' legend. Obviously it can't beat the Beatles, but I respect it. It has a different feel.

[floofyfingers]

kinda more of a jazzy lyrics feel?

[tatertot470]

i disagree..this version is okay but nothing can top tha real thing

[Memphis5546]

beatles version is a classic, and an amazing tune, but i must admit, i prefer the joe cocker version cuz of the groovy feel

[ArtemisRampant]

I almost like this version better than the original. It's probably the badass harmonies in verses 2 and 4.

[im8teennow]

1:35

EXTREME FLASH MOB lol

[MilkmanConspiracy]

Nothing beats the Beatles, but I do like the soul in this version.

[ian7285]

Anyone else see the guy trip at 1:49?

[compton9991]

haha ya nice!

[JillieRawr]

I did. lol Lame dancers Learn your steps! lol

[mkrebs2013]

[Sunburnedslayer]

[jjprio]

[thebeatles4664]

[DeathCabLoverx3]

I LOVE when Martin Luther sings at the end.

His voice is so pro.

[targuibomb]

[MrNoName334]

[marsie2393]

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly

[EmoSlayer17]

One thing i can tell you is you got to be free!

[avengergurl1]

the old man with the long hair is the same one from the beginning of the song, the man at the bus terminal with the robe- Joe Cocker.

[mrsjakewalmsley7]

i luv the old guy and the guy with the long hair x]

[mrsjakewalmsley7]

[roguedemon31]

[comucoyu]

WOW Joe Cocker is Fantastic

[theuc]

OMG its joe cocker

[egg9man]

Joe Cocker is the MAN!!! I love him sooooo much!!!

[atagebu23]

tis joe cocker rejoice yeah the hand movements give him away and @sykario420 im glad their is another person who knows about the origin of this song

[REA00002]

that was definitely Joe Cocker at the beginning in form of the escalator. i recognize that spastic hand movement.

[john41262]

It's actually Joe Crocker playing all of the old men throughout this clip. The pimp, the old guy at the escalator at the beginning, and the dude that saves Jojo from getting ran over!

Amazing what they can do with some stenciled in black hair, eh?

[john41262]

Cocker*!

[Sykario420]

wikipedia works wonders you F-ing idiots.... the song is about tim leary's anti-war campaign against nixon... but he failed due to being charged with 'marijuana possesion' so his attempts were made blind to the world due to the whole "reefer madness" era.. the beatles decided to make this struggle public and this is how the song came to be.... READ A FUCKING BOOK.... love and peace to all, even the ignorant ones lol

[steveharley0345]

We're all fucking idiots says the guy who claims WIKIPEDIA is a good source of information...lolz

Fail

[cleverlyblank]

HAHAHAHA. Lolz indeed

[Madd69]

i dont like peace as a soldier peace means that im out of a job

[mroctopuslungs]

Well war is rather frivolous as soon as you realize this the sooner peace can be achieved. Also I hope you get I.E.Ded in Iraq.

[mattabela2]

wikipedia is the 3rd most used website by me

1:youtube

2:Facebok

3:Wikipedia

I didn't know that the V sign i love to do so much is an insult to the UK, but i'll still continue doing the V sign cos for me it means Peace/Victory.

Love this song!

Love the hand guitar movement of Joe Cocker

[joiskyhigh]

Oh, you can definately keep doing that without offending anyone. You give the peace sign with the palm facing out, right? As is traditionally done. Our 'fuck you' version is generally with the back of the hand facing whoever it is, er, meant for. If you're interested, look up the history of how it came about. It's a cheeky little story involving us, some longbows, and the French :)

[flayremoon]

I've that one. "Pluck yew," correct?

[Sunburnedslayer]

@Sykario420 your right on this one... dont bother with those other guys... but chill, really.

[SasukeandKoyokey]

This song is about each one of the beatles. John, Ringo, Paul, George./

[nick50107]

really which part talks about which guy?

[thedudeperson]

1st part is obviously george . key lyrics "holy roller" "hair down to his knees" 2nd is probly ringo, 3rd obviously john "ono sideboard" "hold you in his arms till you can feel his disease" and finally paul "roller coaster" "1 and 1 and 1 is 3" "got to be good looking cuz hes so hard to see"

[blackbrandonblue]

No it isn't, it's about Timothy Leary.

[iownnoobsatstarcraft]

I turned this into a MP3. The movie version is definitely better than the soundtrack.

[oacis123]

my mom went to one of the beatles concerts she actually shaked john lennon and paul mcartneys hand it was in like the seventy's i think

[AndrewAnarchy101]

Beatles werent a band in the 70's

[MsAwesomeman]

it's not about the beatle its about living through the 70's It's just awesomely soundtracked with beatles covers! It shows how the beatles music even related to the 70's as well as the 60's and even today a little bit

[piratexdez1701]

Cool.

But they broke up April 10 1970, so i'm guessing it was earlier (:

[RavenNicole94]

i was listening to this..

and the beetles rockband commercial came on, the one where they sing come together. hahah

it was weirddd.

[elke029]

like the song x

[AshleyKiMiller]

JoJo what a man fox. :D

[XdramaXmamaX]

Don't know if someone mentioned this, but one of the men in suits trips at 1:50-second one from the right..I've seen this movie TONS of times and I never noticed..lol.

[blackstar008]

i love how he moves his hands when he sings...it's like...he's so into the music that is joints are stiffening up... XD

[bigbradg]

does anybody else think its annoying the way joe cocker moves his hands when he sings

[Hondasrock87]

Goot Catch.

[kingfunkyjunky]

joe cocker is the escalator hobo, the guy in green and the lond haired hippie

[122jeanette]

Joe Cocker is definately the man. I could watch him over and over. This and his Woodstock performance. Sing it Joe

[NeoZangetsu]

1:49 one of the buisness men tripped

[ClammehHands]

Yeah he did!

[SublimePunk925]

he did lol

[rhiannaskater1]

i love this song but jojo should sing more hes amazing!!!!

[LexxiValentine]

I really wish that JoJo sang more in this film. When he does sing, it's like amazing. He has an outstanding voice.

[omgitskee]

HOOKERS. HOOKERS.

Better yet, SINGING hookers. WIN. And dancing business people!

2nd favorite scene in the movie, next to Dear Prudence.

[traindude95]

[AdoptPaopuPals]

[ivy95green]

[RobotMice]

Hey, is he the little boy who was singing let it be earlier?

[LizTheGreat135]

No, the little boy is his son, who died, that's why he (Jojo) is going to New York. Great movie :)

[brebre4thee]

he was the boys brother.

[bloodvamphyre]

No the boy died and like everyone else said he was that boys father and moved to New York. The guy in this part of the movie is supposed to be an actor being Jimi Hendrix in real life kind of like who Hendrix was before he made it big.

[pajamagirl123]

no that little boy was killed

[ChristoWhat]

Hendrix actually

[Koptfoeva]

i hate musicals but this movie and sweeney todd are amazing

[ravegirlpills]

[ivy95green]

[twilightmoon193]

I love the guy who trips in 1:49 :)

[boredohsobored]

I never noticed that. That's hilarious!

[LobsterChopz]

Jojo in Across in the Universe has got to be based of Jimi Hendrix

[CantMakeZzzzs]
