Product Information

The Beatles' songs may have provided the soundtrack for the lives of those coming of age in the 1960s, but their extensive catalogue acts as the literal soundtrack in this romantic musical from visionary director Julie Taymor. Newcomer Jim Sturgess stars as Jude, a young man working on the docks in Liverpool. Eager to escape, he travels to Princeton where he meets Max (Joe Anderson). But it's his meeting with Max's younger sister Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood) that changes him. They quickly fall in love, but their relationship is tested by the chaos of the late 1960s and Max's unwilling tour in Vietnam. Throughout the film, characters burst into classics from the Beatles: frat boys sing "With a Little Help from My Friends," while Uncle Sam bursts from a recruitment poster with strains of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)." U2's Bono makes a cameo as a counterculture leader and croons "I Am the Walrus," and actor-comedian Eddie Izzard provides a trippy rendition of "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite."Sturgess has the voice, charm, and good looks to fill Shea Stadium with hordes of screaming young women. As Jude, he's earnest and certainly capable of carrying the film. Wood capably balances Lucy's naiveté and knowledge, easily moving between her love for Jude and her passion for her cause. Though the performances are strong, it's Taymor's gifted direction that makes ACROSS THE UNIVERSE so fascinating to watch. As in FRIDA and Broadway's THE LION KING, she proves herself an artist with creativity few can match. Director of photography Bruno Delbonnel also deserves praise for his contribution to the striking visuals. He has worked with Jean-Pierre Jeunet on AMELIE and A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT, and he brings the same sense of romance and whimsy to this unique musical.

  • An Enjoyable Movie with Flaws

    The main characters are excellent, as is the capturing the conflicted realities of 1968. The late Joe Cocker's appearance in "Come Together" is a joy to behold. Bono, playing Dr. Robert was well case, however some of his dialogue was a bit too "out there". The entire scene with Mr. Kite, played by Eddie Izzard, should have been either recast or altogether cut from the movie. Izzard's performance is so far over the top that it takes all the enjoyment out of the song and part of the movie. The psychedelic effects are a bit overdone, but still effective. I give it four stars for the performance of the main characters, their musical renditions, a basically well plotted script, and the movie's high entertainment value. Just skip the entire Mr. Kite scene, and the movie is better for it.

  • Not just a musical

    It took true genius to put this together. The songs are done differently without taking anything away from the original. Can watch this over and over.
