Amazing Beatles Collaboration on Screen

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2008)

I will be the first to admit, as a long time fan of the Beatles, I was quite skeptical as to whether or not I would actually enjoy this movie. Considering I often critique any other artists' use of beatles music, as it pretty much isn't worthy unless it is recorded by the fab 4, it is in high esteem to say I enjoyed this. Enjoyed? I adored it. Bravo to you Across the Universe. This music is used beautifully and fits perfectly into the plot. The beatles would be proud of this film in their prime. Their very music was well understood and used to express the full gamut of emotions on screen. Jim Sturgess and Even Rachel Wood come together with amazing chemistry to draw the viewer into their relationship as well. Just another 10/10 aspect to this feature.
