Guest Bravo Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Julie Taymor has done a brilliant job of bringing Broadway theatre to film. The self realization she gives audience goers is revolutionary. Across the Universe is love story set against the backdrop of the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, mind exploration and rock 'n roll, the film moves from the dockyards of Liverpool to the creative psychedelia of Greenwich Village, from the riot-torn streets of Detroit to the killing fields of Vietnam. The star-crossed lovers, Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), along with a small group of friends and musicians, are swept up into the emerging anti-war and counterculture movements, with "Dr. Robert" (Bono) and "Mr. Kite" (Eddie Izzard) as their guides. Tumultuous forces outside their control ultimately tear the young lovers apart, forcing Jude and Lucy – against all odds – to find their own way back to each other. In the daze of cinimatic artistry this movie teaches that life's lessons teach more than those claim to have the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
