Across the Universe
Musical - view more
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."
