Wow.
Across the Universe was absolutely fantastic.
I had really REALLY high expectations of it, and they were surpassed.
The only scene I didn't like, due to the fact it killed the flow of the movie was Eddie Izzard's scene as Mr. Kite. But, 'Hey Jude' turned out to be much more moving and great in the film. I won't spolil it, but the ending made me smile. I was surprised that I really ended up liking Bono as Dr. Robert. I had read a lot of others online saying that Izzard's and Bono's cameos should've been taken out. While I don't think you coudl have taken out Mr. Kite, without having to have to take out Dr. Robert, to an extent, I liked Dr. Robert far better than Mr. Kite. Still, absolutely love the movie.
Otherwise, completely mesmerizing and entirely amazing. I cannot wait o go take my mom to see it next weekend or so.
Definitely one fo my all time favorite movies.
Although, now I want to get a copy of it and make a copy of the soundtrack of the music as it is in the movie. I expected it to be the same people singing the same parts as on the cd, but some of the parts differ from the cd ot the movie. It was an added treat and surprise for me....but I now wanna listen to that on my iPod too!
...when's the DVD due out, eh, Sony?
When Sir Paul McCartney told Julie after seeing it, 'what's not to love?', he wasn't kidding. [Yeah, I just quoted her interview on Oprah. God, I am a nerd.]
