ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
If that title already rings a bell, this might be the movie for
you. Proving that you can use Beatles songs to tell a story, the film
tells the story of Jude who goes to America to find his father, and
proceeds to fall in love with Lucy. Seeing a pattern yet, Beatles fans?
Yes, the story uses names, places, lyrics and songs from Beatles songs.
But don't make the mistake of thinking this is a "Beatles" movie. It has
nothing to actually do with the Fab Four except that their songs are
used as the vehicle for the story. ( Well that and the era the music was
released in ).
The film is about the 60's all around. War, Revolution, Music,
Drugs and of course, Love. One thing of note was Eddie Izzard's trippy
performance as Mr Kite, heading a psychedelic circus show. Beautiful,
vibrantly colourful film.
