A love story "Across The Universe"

Never has a story been unfolded with the lyrics of some of the most famous songs of our generation. Based on Songs from The Beatles, Across the Universe is a touching Love Story that traverses a brief tumultuous period of modern American history. And the message is clear at the end; All You Need Is Love.

Music of The Beatles in renditions you can’t imagine and psychedelic scenes that capture the essence of what young America and the world at large was going through at that time. I can Imagine it was like a Revolution. A cameo by “Bono” singing a Beatles track is just superb.

The lead pair of Evan Rachel Wood (Lucy) and Jim Sturgess (Jude) hold the story well. But the character of Joe Anderson (Maxwell) really adds a lot of meat to the story. T. V. Carpio (Prudence) brings to the script a parallel dilemma of confused love, sadness and happiness. Dana Fuchs (Sadie) and martin Luther (Jo-Jo) give the musical punch to the plot.

A must watch for all of you who love music and movies.
