This film was amzingly entertaing, well acted, musically inviorating with good singing from performers who are predominantly actors, based on a very facinating period of turmutulous recent history with a clever story line. I thought the dance seqences were very impressive with equally well engineered choreography. A film fit for indivudual and famiy viewing that tipped its hat to the most inconic band that, along with the events in the film, dominated the era it was set in. Well done!
It seems that you people have never heard of the Beatles, so I would suggest you go and look them up. This is crap compared to them. I think you should actually listen to good music before praising that guy's hair
@MrPackfan96 ive been listening to the beatles long before i knew about this movie and i have to say they did them justice they didnt ruin any of their songs and they had great and talented people to sing them
Can't stand those things at the end but I love the rest, Those things remind of the chick from the ring and Yoko Ono put together. Love the rest of the clip though. Totally love it.
I kinda think the dead girls in the water parallel the lost girl in the water at the beginning of the movie, who turns out to be Lucy later on. They were both lost in a struggle, the Vietnam war and the demonstrations against it.
As a major Beatles fan I usually believe that no one else should sing their songs. However, I think it was really well done in this movie. Besides, it's a really good movie anyway, with a lot of 60s symbolism.
love this movie! nothing is wrong with their versions of the songs, it's unique and fits the whole vibe of the movie. i love the beatles too, but with some of their songs i feel like Across the Universe did a better job making the music fit with the lyrics.
Across the Universe was an amazing, creative movie. I honestly can't see why people hate on it so much. It's not supposed to sound like the beatles. DUH.
@ifuckingloveotep People hate it because it is a cover AND this cover doesn't add interesting things to the original Beatles version. At contrario, the cover of "With a little help from my friends" by Joe Cocker really added some new twist to the song. Personally I'm not fond or Helter Skelter sung by a fake Janis Joplin with strings put on it...
@SpartanM621 next to the beatles, the most famous version of "a little help" was joe cocker's cover, recorded decades ago. the 6/8 section in the movie version was a nod to Cocker's adaptation of the song. i'm not a joe cocker fan but that's what folks are talking about. definitely the main reason he has a cameo in the movie is because he's known for covering beatles songs, namely "a little help"
@ifuckingloveotep I'm coming around to this movie now. I hated it at first too, just cause I didn't think they should've touched the beatles' music. but now, I'm seeing it for the artistic & wildly trippy movie it is. and most of the covers are really really good.
@greengeckofeet To be clear, on behalf of the movie - they weren't supposed to play the whole song. They merged the two songs together. If they were to play every full song that's on the soundtrack, the movie would be very long. But if you listen to the soundtrack, the song is full. /rant.

this part of the movie sucks really bad.this is not a good thing for kids who should be listening to the beatles.this movie sucks big red hot cheeto balls.CHILY FLAVOR
@bluetomany It's not meant for kids, you have to be old enough to know about the 60s, and what went on in them to understand this entire movie. It takes an open mind and a good heart to understand the music, and a strong, and open view on the world.

Are you sure you aren't confused with 'Come Together' being by Joe Cocker and not 'With a little help from my friends'?
SpartanM621 1 year ago
@SpartanM621 Well I tried to give an example that would be a good counter-exemple.
The first released version or "With a little help from my friends" was sung by the Beatles in 1967. It was a good song (my personal advice).
" (...) song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, released on The Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1967" says Wikipedia.
"Joe Cocker's version was a radical re-arrangement of the original, in a slower, 6/8 meter, in a different key (...)"
