Across the Universe.

I have yet to write a blog about a movie but I figure this will be my first since it is one of my favorites. Across the Universe is a film that was released October 2007. It is a musical film following several characters in the time of the 1960's. Of course we have all heard of a musical film before but none of which are like this particular one. Across the Universe's songs throughout the movie are all written by the members of "The Beatles." The story fits perfectly with the 33 compositions featured in the movie. If you are a Beatles fan like my self, you will find yourself entertained from beginning to end with the music alone. It is interesting to find that every character in the movie refers to one of The Beatles songs. For example the main characters are Lucy (Lucy in the sky with diamonds), played by Evan Rachel Wood, and Jude (Hey Jude) played by Jim Sturgess. These are only 2 references out of many that you will find in the movie. It keeps you interested to see what song will play next, and to what scene of the movie it will fit into. This film will have you singing to yourself fun songs from The Beatles, and have you invisioning bits of the movie while doing so. If I had a say, I would suggest that this movie musical takes the stage and creates an even wider audience to represent a great storyline and familiar music many can enjoy.
