Bizarre, Brilliant and Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2008)

These are the words that come to mind after seeing this movie. I was moved in every-which-way a movie is capable of moving. I cried, I laughed and I fell in love.In short, I was blown away. I have never seen or heard the music of the legendary Beatles captivated in such a way. This movie not only did their music justice, it gave life to it. For those of us who weren't around during the 60's (I'm an 80's baby myself), this movie lets us see the history in a new and beautiful light. The singing was amazing, as was the cinematography. I particularly loved the kaleidoscopic scenes. It was refreshing to see so many new and talented faces on the screen too. Evan Rachel Wood has always been a phenomenal actress, but boy can she sing!!! Jim Sturgess (who I didn't know until this film) is just so incredibly talented; You feel the power and the emotion in every lyric he sings. The same goes for all the actors. All of the acting was honest and heart-felt. I know I felt it. I'm very happy that I saw this movie. I will watch this again and again and again...
