Across the Universe



PLOT: An original musical film, Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and animation, the film is paired with many songs by The Beatles that defined the time.


MY OPINION: Aaron and I watched this movie yesterday and fell in love with it. He’s not into musicals but having 30 different Beatles songs throughout the film he decided he would try and watch with me. He said it was the best musical he’s ever seen. I like musicals and I thought it was fantastic.
