Dear Prudence (Across The Universe)

[fuckuallish]

thats what i see when i get high 1:39

[siaja1]

isn't weird that they're telling an asian girl to open her eyes?

[boyeatworld]

i love this movie but they took this song so literally.. they show her 'coming out of the closet' by actually walking out of a closet, lol

[SissaBee]

why does it have to go all druggy?

[nfinn42]

@SissaBee A good question, which one might ask about the 60's themselves. I think that was one of the points of the movie. :P

[BaByCaKeS0263]

@SissaBee Because it was in the 60s? Lmfao the 60s was ALL about weed and acid and LSD c: lmfao That's why life was beautiful then <3

[EoMaoMao]

@SissaBee Cuz it wouldn't be The Beatles if it didn't...

[JendayiHamilton]

This song reminds me of my dearest best friends and husband...they're like diamonds to me...rare and so very important. I thank the Lord I have such good friends :)

[Beatlelover1231]

My favorite movie

[Rigmorald]

I'm sorry, but they absolutely murdered this. They took all the feeling out of it.

[erintahdahhhh]

the only musical i can stand to watch.

[mw3god212]

if people cant love the music they play then go hate another band or singer or rapper cause they have talent and u probly dont have it. across the universe is one of the best movies ive seen

[stolenbaby2008]

Absolutely love this scene, and song. Also, max is cute as hell. <3

[Oceanbigcat317]

Will never have protests like that again. What insultive rhyme can you create with Obama??

[purpletycoon]

@Oceanbigcat317 you'll end up like Osama?

[23raynsc]

my favorite movie

[bio49410]

Prudence won't come out of the closet. physically and metaphorically.

[happyllama15]

see? hiding in the close never helps homosexuals.



[musicsavedmylife93]

I love every song in this movie. I love this movie so much.

I watched this movie yesterday with my girlfriend and it made me relise how much she really does mean to me.

If you watch this video I Love You Babe

[Pachecure]

@musicsavedmylife93 Pray tell, what movie is this? When did it come out? Thank you!

[thefreakshowish1]

@Pachecure Across The Universe, came out in '07

[Pachecure]

@thefreakshowish1 Thanks, I'll look for the DVD.

[musicsavedmylife93]

@Pachecure Across The Universe-2007 are you asking in ernest or are you trying to be a dick? cause it seems it could go ether way

[Pachecure]

@musicsavedmylife93 I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to be a dick. Sometimes, I can actually fail to see what's right in front of me. I'd never heard of this film. Thank you.

[musicsavedmylife93]

@Pachecure its all good lol

[jbmarianne12]

This movie honestly displays everything the Beatles believed in, I love it!! <3

[mikemotorbikeca]

what were the Beatles up to? such beautiful thoughts, It staggers the mind

[VagerHunch]

[ABRBMatt]

1:05 that note sends chills down my back every time i hear it

[JamesastanWAW]

[mickrory1]

a musica dear prudence foi feito por lennon durante a viagem dos beatles a india, foi uma homenagem a irmã da atriz MIA FARROW. PRUDENCE FARROW que estava presente na viagem.

[BLUEinkENTERPRISES]

what a name prudence



[inmate6doublefive321]

first time i saw this i ate 2 hits of LSD and had a blast!!!!! I love the Beatles!!! Been listening to them since i was a kid, and im 27 now. They never get old.

[wolfram]

if u watch this movie on acid it will change ur life

[marskeins]

Luv this movie!

[MelodyStark]

I love all of the symbolism and spirit in this movie and these songs. It feels right. I think John would have approved of the Beatles' music being used like this.

[troughle]

It was a good tribute to the Beatles. This song was one of the better remakes.

[kassB1]

landlady, Janis Joplin. Her boyfriend, Hendrix.

ITS THE FOREVER 27 CLUB.

[kassB1]

BEST MOVIE EVER <3

[thebestulleversee]

Yea when I thought back on how her coming out of the closet was a metophor it blew my mind

[artehaleychoke]

@thebestulleversee blew your mind as in u were amazed or went over your head

[Alowrey3]

"Dear Prudence won't you come out to play". Prudence is coming out of the closet, brilliant. The directors of this film are geniuses !!!!

[WolfyTheVampire]

its prudence. i think she's hung up on me.

Pffst.

[deon101sky]

32 people might not like Beatles music played with.

just saying.

[guitarsrock64]

32 people dont feel like playing



[JoyHable]

[InsanicManiac]

it's really weird when they see prudence at the circus

[EoMaoMao]

@InsanicManiac They trippin

[Sm0K3r92]

I ADORE this movie sooo much!

[KITCHENOFDISTINCTION]

This film is a great advert for the genius that was The Beatles.

[dukeskywalker09]

ever notice, the dude with the megaphone is Ashton Kutcher?.

[beachiekeeeen]

@dukeskywalker09 no it wasn't. It was an actor named Logan Marshall-Green. he's on IMDB

[dukeskywalker09]

@beachiekeeeen i know, meant to say he looks like him. That's why I ended my statement with a question mark. Thanks for the reference though.

[10350734]

lol seriously guys?? for every prudence video here i've seen comments on her being a lesbian as though it's this huge deal and they can't believe it. get over it.

[Spongebobsweetie03]

my fave movie it touches me



[WONG1329]

i got that definitely a lesbian

[DeepV00]

@legacy317

I'm sorry but you're an idiot

[kcasey1901]

Julie Taymor rules!!

[TheRelax34567]

Why would she be lesbian? I don't get it she never kisses a girl, right?

[KasiePwns]

@TheRelax34567 If you've seen the whole movie, at the beginning during "I want to hold your hand" she is singing it about a female on her cheer squad, and she couldn't take it anymore and ran away and found all of them. Shes a lesbian and tried to run away from it and in the end started to embrace it and be herself.

[TheRelax34567]

@KasiePwns I saw the whole movie but didn't quite get it... Nobody said she's a lesbian, so I thought: 'How can you be so sure??' Thanks for explaining btw!

[allyboobeary]

love this song <3



[legacy317]

i'm sorry but this is really cheesy

[jenniferluhvsyuhh]

@legacy317 You're cheesy! Get out of here!

[johnny9147]

awwww i got a boner

[PromiserOfDeath]

i think the moral of this video is to show how not every American wants bloodshed and it irritates me when people talk down on us as a whole when clearly not every American wants war and bloodshed some of us actually want peace between the world and i thinks thats the point of the video is to show that the sum care about others where ever he or she maybe.

[TheCrossbolt]

why is there that one random blury spot

[Rosimio]

Did anyone knows the differents between this and the original version?

[themdg]

@Rosimio Easy. The original wasn't promoting same sex attraction.

[RedRosesDead]

This movie takes away nothing from The Beatles... it is a mind-blowing film, it's a beautiful story,.. just enjoy it for what it is, sheesh.

[paige710]

this song was written when one of the friends of the Beatles took to much acid and they wrote this song to try and comfort her and get her out of her room. just and fyi :)

[LucidEyes17]

You fake fucking beatles fans can go eat a dick

[TheoMackenzi]

@LucidEyes17 What?

[LucidEyes17]

@TheoMackenzi It just irritates me how many people love the beatles after across the universe, and claim that the candy-pop covers of beatles tunes, with ridiculously processed vocals and absurd polish, are better than the orignials. I thank the movie for exposing a generation to the beatles that might not have otherwise been exposed, but it disgraces the beatles memory to try to hoist these charlatans above them

[TheoMackenzi]

@LucidEyes17 Yes ATU will never be better than The Beatles but I do enjoy these covers and I don't think they disgrace The Beatles at all

[LucidEyes17]

@TheoMackenzi Yeah I said that claiming ATU is better than the beatles was disgracing their memory. it itself it's a pretty competent tribute.

[TheoMackenzi]

@LucidEyes17 Well I think everyone is allowed their personal opinion

[themdg]

@LucidEyes17 It's the worst, you're right. But, you should probably come to grips with it. Glee has done the same thing. Kids will never know who Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, Tom Jones, Billy Joel, Harry Nilsson or Sinatra are. They'll just know that the "wheel chair guy" or the "promiscuous girl" or "guy troubled with same sex attraction" sang that. One of the kids at Church asked me if I had any Beatles on my ipod, and was mad when none of the songs I had were from Glee. It's poison.

[stargleek23]

@themdg I love Glee and the Beatles and I've listened to the Beatles since I was born. 22 years ago actually. Glee isn't for everyone but I have to tell you that shows like Glee do introduce younger generations to music. I won't try to convince you to watch it, but I also don't see how Glee has any relevance to this video.

[themdg]

@stargleek23 I think this version of this song relates to Glee in that the song has been re-purposed and sensationalized to mean something completely different. When the purpose is to make a political statement, or to sexualize the song then I find it irritating. This version clearly twists the meaning to promote same-sex-attraction. Glee loves doing this too. I've seen my share of Glee. Great performances but at such a cost! Check your morals at the door, because anything goes!

[stargleek23]

@themdg it's this kind of hypocrisy that The Beatles stood against. You know George and John are rolling in their graves when someone who calls themselves a Beatles fan is against a group of people for who they love. Throw around as many hard words as you want, you'll always be an ignorant tool who has no right to even be commenting on something so beautiful as this video.

[themdg]

@stargleek23 Ok.

[nippe011]

This song always makes me happy :)

[nippe011]

This song always makes me happy :)

[ffallenaangel]

i prefer this version than original

[Zebulization]

looka round, round, round, round round looka round, roun, roun, roun, looka rouuuuuund.

[Rardjuh11]

the blonde guy looks like Kurt Cobain

[jakegodbout]

@Rardjuh11 you mean max

[Antarktida21]

@Rardjuh11 or Alexander Skarsgard ´s younger brother!:)

[andylymbo]

@Rardjuh11 Sawyer from Lost too.

[plmnhtrdx1]

@Rardjuh11 thats cuz he represents Kurt Cobain Jojo represents Jimmie Hendrix and Sadie is Janice Joplin forget who Jude and Lucy are supposed to be

[PPXTASYS]

@Rardjuh11 he looks like David Guetta

[noelhutz]

@PPXTASYS David who?

[errOHneoS]

@Rardjuh11 That may have been the point. It seems quite a few of the people in AtU were to represent various artists.

[Largemanofmordor]

@MewTayaChan Sweet Pea *as in the vegetable and term of endearment*

[yoshiarakaki]

thanks god for this song. Makes me happy when im cryin

[pleasantnightmare21]

[SvenniePie]

[bluuueberry]

[03raq]

[vanillacapachino]

[majikkool200]

One of my favorite movies<3

30 people don't know what good music is!

[djkramnik]

dear prudence, join our sexy jamboree

[Dogboy2709]

I remember seeing this movie when i was a junior in high school. the class was "Music in the movies". went with both Music in the movie classes, not just my own.

[peytonsawyer818]

I love how Max just dives for the closet door XD

[TheSeraph00]

at 1:19 anyone else think he looks like johnny depp a lil..?

[vanhalenman60]

was she a lesbian in the movie havnt seen it in a whil and when i did i was high as fuck

[Kendallat15]

I love how they put little things in this movie, like titles of songs, has anyone noticed in one scene Maxwell has a silver hammer? Things like saying "Hello Hello", and such made the movie even better, let alone the names through out the movie

[fredotario]

"Jude" (Hey Jude - Single),

"Lucy" (Lucy in the sky with diamonds - Sgt. Peppers),

"Maxwell" (Maxwell Silver hammer - Abbey Road),

"Sadie" (Sexy Sadie - The White Album),

"Prudence" (Dear Prudence - The White Album).

Just amazing!

[rickrollersshalldie]

@fredotario "Jojo" (Get Back - Let It Be)

"Dr. Robert" (Doctor Robert - Revolver)

"Mr. Kite" (Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite - Sgt. Pepper's lonely Hearts Club Band)

Missed a couple my friend.

[Jhaywardfan88]

@rickrollersshalldie You both got a good list going. :-) Also, "Rita" (Lovely Rita- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band) When they come out of Mr. Kite's tent and Prudence introduces Sadie to her friend (or more than that): "Have you met Rita? She's a contortionist."

[fredotario]

@rickrollersshalldie Whatever, what do you want, cookies?

[dguitar1213]

@fredotario Dr Robert-(Dr Robert)

Rita-(Lovely Rita)

Jo Jo-(Get Back)

Mr Kite-(Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite)..

NOT TROLLING JUST POINTING SOME YOU MISSED

[macroniandcheez14]

@MawksHaHa

I've never seen you before but I am 100% positive your very beautiful trust me

[tomyv1661]

ive watched this movie like 6 times, i still dont understand how she ended up in mr kites circus tent...

[notmyfaultimabitch]

@tomyv1661 because they were on Acid haha

[painlessissuicide]

@tomyv1661 keep in mind, they had all just done a bunch of acid with Bono

[TheOneTrueWerewolf1]

@tomyv1661 she like ran away and i guess found the place and became a circus person

[PartyDown1000]

@tomyv1661 I think it's when she wonders off at the parade in this video but I'm not sure

[PartyDown1000]

@tomyv1661 I think it's when she wonders off at the parade in this video but I'm not sure

[MetalMummy23]

@tomyv1661 If you notice she takes off with the giant characters in the parade at the end of this part of the video!

[rachaelbear6]

@tomyv1661 prudence felt different becuse she was a lesbian so, to get away and the way she felt, she joined a circus. but that was after this, so, also in the cirscus she felt where she could be herself. differnt . she also found a lady friend whos a contorshinist. (horrible spelling skillz)

[Largemanofmordor]

@tomyv1661 A wizard did it...

[Areagolasundomiel]

@tomyv1661 She couldn't handle her attraction to Sadie. Sadie was with Mr.... guitar gently weeps. She was having issues with her sexuality and so she left. and she ended up joining the circus and meeting the contortionist. :D Thats the way i saw it. *shrug*

[roxmysoxify]

@tomyv1661 she ran away and found him. when everyone else went to the party, they went on their way to find the guy who could give them answers, and when he refused, some chose to stay, or go with everyone else. so they stayed and then found prudence. took me a while, too

[alixxmcr94]

Im not a Beatles fan but i love this movie so much!!!

And its so weird how that guy looks so much like Kurt Cobain. It freaks me out.

[InGallifrey]

She is beautiful!

Wonderful song!

[chillouuut1]

i only JUST understood the connection between prudence being a lesbian and her coming out of the closet XD hooray metaphors!! this movie is just mindblowing

[iChrisx93]

@chillouuut1 I'm pretty sure she was bi.

She said she slept with Max and Jude.

[909afterone]

@iChrisx93 She probably only said that because she wanted people to think she wasn't a lesbian.

[iChrisx93]

@909afterone Ahhh, that might be!

[purplemuffin7]

@chillouuut1 am i dumb... i never realized... She loves Sadie right?? And u are brilliant to point that out to me.. thnx!

[MrAids5000]

@chillouuut1 its just like how in one scene i forget what character it is but she comes into through the bathroom. just like the beatles song she came in through the bathroom window.

[cuteface114]

@chillouuut1 was she really?

[LucidEyes17]

@chillouuut1 FOR FUCK'S SAKE! That's not what this song is about. This song is about a girl who's depressed and learns to embrace life again.

[stayoutoutsiders14]

@chillouuut1

Wow, you just made me understand that...

[roxmysoxify]

@chillouuut1 wait - that was a metaphor? hmm

[cLaRiNetLoVer503]

00:55 Oh my God his voice is beautiful.

[Theeeeeeeea]

Jude - Hey Jude.

Max (Maxwell) - Maxwells silverhammer.

Prudence - Dear Prudence.

Lucy - Lucy in the sky of diamonds.

Those are names of the main roles in this movie, and songs as well. :-)

[MikSevilla]

@Theeeeeeeea yeah i think thats kind of obvious

[HawkxHaHa]

my dad was gonna name me prudence....my mom wouldnt let him :(

[imboredd1234]

did anyone else guess they they were trying to get her to 'come out of the closet' ? how did no one guess that she was gay? just listen to i wanna hold your hand from this movie

[prettyyoungthing816]

@imboredd1234 lol duhhh. she has a crush on sadie. when she finds out abou sadie and jojo she locks herself in the bathroom. and during i wanna hold your hand she likes the head cheerleader.

[imboredd1234]

@prettyyoungthing816 i know, i was just sayin tht no one i watched it with figured out she was gay . . .

[CaptonInsanity]

come out and play sun is sunshineing love the beatles

[breezywind28]

Is this a musical movie?? Is the movie good? reviews.

[PalulaCr]

@breezywind28 good isnt enough for this movie ;)

[guitarmaniacdope]

@breezywind28 it's pretty good

[lurdesitaa]

No War, only peace (:



[TheLostNiko]

@TaintedChain That's the point.........

[jlamadrid91]

i swear they stood in a green screen room this entire movie lol

[RokBand3]

@Gamemaster014

Nah, cause he isn't a violent person, unlike a certain other president who served before him.

[boxxyMS]

@TaintedChain thats the point of it

[DiazepanPlus]

Una delle più belle scene del film!
