About this product

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.

    Each character had purpose

    While I do appreciate and love musicals, I am not familiar with any Beatles tunes. There were parts that tripped me up but I could see how it fit into the story and the time in which it takes place. I did love Jim Sturgess' role and feel that without him I would have wanted to see it again. It is well written and silly, each character had a purpose.

    Worst movie I've seen in a long time!

    The entire movie is a sad rehash of the events of the 60's. Hollywood is clearly mentally bankrupt in terms of ideas. I'd rate this as less than zero if possible. Watching this was painful. My family buys 5 DVD's a week so naturally we see the good and the bad and everything in-between. I've seen school musicals done buy students that were far better than this. What a waste of time and money! Avoid at all cost, trust me!

    Re-living my youth!

    What a wonderful film. I lived these years as a young man. The craftsmanship to put together the excellent choice of cast, moments in time, terrific musical renditions of the Beatles incredible music make this a 'document of the times.' I absolutely love this film. Beautifully filmed scenes capture both my eyes and my heart! A must see for every 'baby boomer' wishing to share the gist of our world in our youth.

    A feast for the senses.

    Such a great film. The music and cinematography arenjust stunning and really enhance the experience of the modern musical. Story is superb and the use of the lyrics to carry it along is just brilliant.

    Beautifully done!

    I love this movie.. Brilliantly depicts the late 60's better than any other movie. Love the renditions of the 30+ Beatles tunes, neither carbon copies of the originals yet all very recognizable. The lyrics to the songs become dialogue in the movie. Perfect!!! This is the enhanced version with over 2 hours of special features, almsot as entertaining as the movie itself!
