Across the Universe and Back Again

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2007)

Since I first saw a preview for this film, I've been anticipating it like a kid anticipates Christmas. I finally saw it last night and, apart from a few flaws, it was one of the best movies I've seen.
Now it must be said that there were a few transitional mix-ups. This particular film didn't play around with the messy parts during transitioning periods in the storyline such as when Jude and Lucy fell in love or between when they were stranded and when they got back to New York. In my view, I think the music took care of the transition and did an excellent job.
The color, the music, the story... this was all an acid trip and a work of art simultaneously. Having taken a few art classes and film classes, I was stunned by the use of color and the way the story was set up. I loved it. I can't say enough about it. Everyone who ever had interest in the sixties or love and peace should see this movie at least once.
