[Leahkaikahasu]

[upbomb]

One word: Surreal

[AmyTumblerForLife]

my fav scene

[MrParamorevamp]

Whoever disliked this obviously was inspired by the movie and took drugs that made them VERY confused.....

[xbeatles411x]

this is such a great o.. AWESOME movie i like how its different not some stupid love story like twilight

[anotherbeatlefreak]

lol they are so perverted xD jking

[bananas1and2]

This is one of those songs where you just want to be a part of the harmonies.

[bluecoolrockz]

ughhh shes so lucky i love him hes so cute <3

[sassychasmin]

[xseanxyx]

[iluvjoejonasmorthanu]

This song has to be absolutely nailed because of the harmonies. They nailed it.

[lizardqueen12]

this is my favorite part of the whole mvie  so positive

[megsno]

i dont get this.

[shhaannuuhnnx3]

i really love this, but i think the drug references leading up to it kinda ruin the innocence/beauty of it. :\

[Blazenix1]

@shhaannuuhnnx3 You do realize that some of the Beetles songs WERE influenced / inspired by drugs right? This includes I am the Walrus and A little From My friends. This is why I am glad that kept the drugs in.

[RiMZyBABy3]

@Blazenix1 amen! im glad they took drugs so they could open up their minds (:

[theanswer01]

@Blazenix1

[MatchGirl]

@Blazenix1 That and you really can't have a counterculture 60s movie that doesn't have drugs. :)

[ImDarkMagicianGirl]

love this song. i wish though it was just jude, lucy, max, sadie, jojo, and prudence and not them with these extras.

[AntuanMorguendorffer]

perfecta

[MangoMiaow]

This is so beautiful. Got me goosebumps...

[Danz115]

this is my favourite part of the movie, i just like how it's set up in the field with them all together.

[MahinaSinger]

best part of the movie.. oh man. why can't this be the 60s?

[Iluvthebeatles9]

@MahinaSinger i ask myself that question every day

[kkandrikki]

their voices are dreamy. wow makes me wanna go insane! it's so beautiful

[IHugShortPeople]

I'm so glad my mom wasn't in the room while I was watching this. XDDD

[Daughtersofthemoon1]

i was really embarrist when i saw this in theaters... i was with my mom and grandma suprisingly they didnt care all that mush they just said they sounld have seen it first

[RobbieBunny13]

(not necissarily the song) BUT the scene itself represents them coming out of the LSD/ or off of the trip and of course them (lucy and jude) being in love. And the transition of the group pretty much having to "grow up." in a sense if youre wondering ^^ But great movie!

[laxdude09876]

best song in the movie

[XxDanCaxChICKxX]

the harmony in theyre voices is amazingg(: i love this movie! two thumbs up!

[Mariachilokow]

[NatalieBugzBad]

This is my favorite Song from this movie :) :D ITS SO TRIPPY AND I LOVEEEE THE VIBE and it relaxes me greatly :)

[ukulelegirl1]

[supaflychic911]

Yes

[brecre]

@ukulelegirl1 This is a little late but yes they did say that. :) The name of the auctal song is Because-By the Beatles.

[BeatlesGeorgeJohn]

@ukulelegirl1  Yes. Yes they did.

[cowies101]

love is old love is new

i hear lucy the most in the whole song

i dont like this song only 2 songs i hate in the movie...

[sexiichick8989]

i dont understand this part of the movie.. can someone explain?

[jynxd86]

i absolutely love this song...there are a lot of really amazing songs covered but i love the harmonies and the sound of this one...it sounds beautiful

[thebeatlemaniac2009]

lucy sings so beautifull!!! im in love with her!!xD

[dancechick56]

...i wonder how they filmed the underwater scene... (:

[podsinc]

very...carefully.

[revolutionaryday]

in a tank.

[Vampiresss8]

these were the trippiest 3 minutes of my life xD

[TadpoleAngel345]

So, notice how the scene shifts from peaceful bliss, to brutal war. It's symbolism - for getting a peek at Reality, and then shifting back to the harsh illusion that we live on a daily basis. Love is All ~ is the message. Once we awaken, we will live that experience permanently.

[TadpoleAngel345]

IMO - What is being expressed here, is they have had a brief taste of the true nature of reality - which is love energy. Not romance love, but the love a Creator has for his creation. The Beatles experimented with various mind altering drugs and studied with Awake Yogis in India.

[MaAnRnYa]

And that Creator who loves His creation is the Lord God. Who knows what else the Beatles could have accomplished in additon had they come to know God instead of studying in India!

[podsinc]

Well, God works for an individual person. But India obviously worked for revolutionizing the world.

Are you implying that John Lennon is in hell, my friend?

[iMoNlYmE123]

i love the harmonies and when Lucy sings "it makes me cry" its like so amazingly crystal clear her voice sounds awesome!

[ShootAAppleOffMyHead]

what song is this?

[iMoNlYmE123]

its "Because"

[faydennis00]

Which beatles song are they singing here? anyone know?

[thegumPOPS16]

that wuz such a beutiful part of the movie... but it wuz totally random wen all of a sudden lucy and jude were makin out wraped around eachother naked

[acrosstheuniverse94]

This is such a beautiful part in the movie, it made me cry. :)

Love

[isabellagranger]

At 1:13, is it just me, or do they form the shape of a marijuana plant? This is my third time watching this movie, and I've only just noticed.

[upthehill449]

Hm...somewhat. I think they're just lying in a circle, but it could be purposeful.

[LeFreakSoChic]

It's supposed to be a daisy.

[TadpoleAngel345]

They are experiencing a temporary state of bliss while coming down from the LSD trip. Nice, but it doesn't last long, and you're left there wanting more.

[Thermotic]

Very true.

[tali367]

i dont get it...

[richnelle17]

i LOve This ParT!!!

^^

[bigdaydreamer89]

My most favorite part of this movie!!!!!! it's beautiful

[tjeremy96]

[upbomb]

@xemily91 That's because they're high on LSD

[mollywa21]

@xemily91 Hey, if the Beatles, can do it.... Well that doesn't mean everyone can do it, no one can, but that's beside the point. 

[marvelgirl64]

@xemily91 there's only nine, but still amazingly impressive

[marycol024]

[Prix21]

[b3l0z3r0]

See if you can find a couple.

[Elenoe]

[capitalg07]

"Because"

[Elenoe]

thanks so much!!

[VintageGirlz]

I love it. One of my favourite parts in the movie of course <3

[Johnnycatmeow]

Such cool, surreal visual-love how it portrays the sex as an expression of love while not being pornographic.

Mmmm, naked Max. Sad that it segs to him getting shipped out.

[kookooy]

I love this song

[cuppycakelove234]

God, are they having sex underwater?

[tomd212]

no they clearly have there clothes on..............wait there it is... yes they are lol :D

[superbad42]

dude if air wasnt a problem then i would totally want sex underwater. pleasure with wieghtlessness...awesome

[twilightslover1992]

jesus christ whats with the fighting about sex and love in these cmmnts yes u cnt live without love its basically oxygen to our human pysche but sex does play a part in it sex is a form of love so in this case you all are arguing about the same fucking topic so grow up stupid katinka idec what ur name is and theatre lover go find someonme else to pick on plz

thnks AlexisAxed and yes thats my real name

[autpsybarbied0ll]

underwater orgy much?

[angiepangii123]

oh my god. once again, jim sirgess makes my heart melt.

i love himm!!!

hes so sexy!!!

[katinkaballerina]

So what then is life about? LOVE. Love of ourselves, friends, family, others, the world: thats what keeps us going, striving, feeling, helping, and caring, through the ups and downs of life. Sex does play an important part in life and in the human race. But its not what life is all about. A life without sex? Possible. But a human being living or even just surviving without any love? Impossible.

[Jungle4Eva]

because-the beatles

[lisahobod]

beautiful harmony and video for BECAUSE. isn't it sad that john and george never lived long enough to see this magnificent movie?

[Marry8D]

bah

[nahgem64]

whos the girl next to prudence

[ekehs]

Rita. She's a contorsionist.

Haha

[LiveOnQueen]

is it just me or max leaves for the army every thing just gose down hill from there...

& when he comes back everything gets better?

[sofreshsoclean719]

thats what war does

[AqWaFiRe]

Watz this song callled.

[sideways24]

It's called "Because" off Abbey Road

[roxanne3100]

they are not having sex it is juts a movie and they dont show anything its life :p

[znessarockxmysocks]

OMG ARE THEY HAVING SEX?lol plz relpy

[znessarockxmysocks]

i was joking pll

[ekehs]

And what if they are.. it's about love anyway.

[theatrelover559]

what if they are? people have sex. it's an amazing part of life. all life is about IS sex. reproducing. having children. raising children. supporting children. etc.

[katinkaballerina]

life isn't just about sex/reproducing. if that was true all that mattered would be people having babies and much when life should be able loving others, compassion, making a difference in others lives, helping others, living life for a higher purpose, enjoyment, and so much more

[theatrelover559]

that's sweet, honey, but it's not true. think of how powerful sex-drive is! men have sexual thoughts every seven seconds, women have sexual thoughts several times a day. it's in our instincts- think of animals. animal life surrounds mating, reproducing and protecting offspring. we can only evolve so much. you may be a bit young to see it, but sex is very important in our lives. we have evolved to care about other things, but sex is still of high importance.

[katinkaballerina]

Think about the world today and its problems. If sex is what its all about then problems like poverty, hunger, cancer, greed, abuse, and neglect mean nothing. However the facts are that they do mean something. Most of us are affected but at least one of them everyday.

[katinkaballerina]

And what about people too young or old to have sex? Or people who never have sex like Mother Teresa? Does that mean that they are not fully living? No, because people like Mother Teresa have a life so filled with love that it affects the world and inspires others.

[katinkaballerina]

you did not just call me honey. I still disagree. Yes, sex drive is a very powerful human instinct. But then what do you do when a sex drive dies out? Leave and find a new partner? Thats what animals do. According to your theory, it shouldnt matter. Life is about just about sex and sex drive is the strongest human instinct. But what if you love them? What if being with them makes you want to be a better person or they understand you better than anyone else? That changes things doesnt it?

[theatrelover559]

Girl, I'm not saying something like 'you should leave your man once the sex-drive is gone'. You're driving this completely out of proportion.

[katinkaballerina]

well if life is just about sex it wouldn't make sense to stay with someone without it. thats not driving it completely out of proportion, thats logic

[loviebugy]

i love how there in a circle,singing together

and this song has lots of meaning to it(:

[baseballrocks88]

2:13-2:26 Jud/Jim looks like he has huge mucsles.! (which he does, but you dont really get to see them in this movie)

[ErgNoNamesLeft]

Wow, yeah. He has mad muscles xD

[bigjoecampbell]

this is my my favorite part of the movie

[hyidee]

is it just me, or jim looks a bit like paul mccartney??

[IchimaruRoxSox]

i thought that before i even saw the movie :3

[TheStarLitRose]

i thought the same thing when i first saw him.

[helenhawaiigirl]

jim looks so hot

[littletinychloe]

underwater scenes are usually not filmed underwater. they are usually filmed with fans and slow motion.

[lakeenemy]

if u watched behind the scenes, they mention filming underwater, its called slow motion and breathing tanks in between takes.

Also if u train to swim under the water for long periods of time, you can manage to stay under for quite a while.

Besides look at their hair, fans cant do that, only being under water can.

[oliviagale]

How the hell was that filmed? It would be so difficult to carry out a kiss underwater, let alone for a prolonged period of time. Yes, there are different shots of them, but each one lasts a while.

[savoytruffle96]

whoa! at about 1:52, jim sturgess looks a LOT like paulie....

[sixtieschick5]

ahhh i love you jim!!! mwah

[Shyandconfident]

are they having sex? but in a mermaidy way??? still wonderful and catchy

[caroline9551]

hah

[Shyandconfident]

this song is so wicked-i love all the harmonies they sound great!!!

[Shyandconfident]

what song is it called at the start of this clip?

[snoww27]

it's called "because"

[k2dae2da2xLE]

because is awesome.....

[animsha]

i love this part of the movie thank you very much!
