I love music, in the sense that it can convey super complex ideas in the span of a few minutes when it would normally take a 1 hour documentary to just scratch the initial ideas. The training, the drugs, the war itself, the ideology, the re-admittance into society. In 3 minutes 44 seconds. I am not saying that the song is specifically about this, but the way the movie portrays the scene and characters is spot-fucking-on. The doctrine of America has never been so blood soaked.
Why wasn't this song on the sountrack? I was so upset. This movie was probably one of the best musicals ever because you hardly realize theyre singing cuz it just flows right into it. Everytime i watch it, i cry. :]
well even though i feel the beetles are way cool. it's nice to have a movie where all the songs fit. I liked the movie, but it seemed to me like they were going to non stop sing. they didn't play lucy in the skyy.. till the end. still good though. just saying
:S People are quite stupid. Thinking that this movie was to fix the beatles songs. it was a musical inspired by the beatles songs. People redo musicals hundreds of times over, does that meen you are just going to use that exact same recording for everyone?
First starters, Lennon was always the way he was and the fact that people in general want to cover or incorporate the BEATLES in some way shape or form is awesome!
This covers sucks IMO. The Movie in General sucks, IMO. A REAL Beatles movie is the epic A Hard Day's Night or Yellow Submarine. This is just horrid and gay for 13-year old girls.
My biggest problem with this version is the way it ends. When John Lennon orignally wrote it, he intentionally had it just stop suddenly. Not die out with a cymbal roll, stop.
I strongly believe that this movie is the worst thing to happen to The Beatles since Yoko Ono. Maybe its because I've been listening to The Beatles for so long, but this sounds like some constipated/drunk guy singing on The Beatles: RockBand. Epic Fail Across the Universe
i just watched this and i knew for sure max was going to die. i'm glad he didn't. this is an awesome movie and this was my favorite song besides the walrus song and all we need is love....
couple years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand;sorryi didnt want that happening to me
The original is sung by The Beatles. As for this version of the song, it's not on the original Across The Universe Soundtrack but on some special edition version.
Yeah. Max has to go to that army thing, where they check him up. To make sure he has no poisonous diseases, etc. In the beggining of the vid, it's funny, he tries swallowing cotton balls to look like a tumor, I think. Or something like that.
this song fucking sucks! LET THE BEATLES PLAY IT FAGS!
