Across The Universe

Remember the movie that made the Bee Gee's uncool?
"Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" was a tremendous disappointment and set the bar even higher for a movie containing Beatle's Music.
Director Julie Taymor gets it right from the opening beach shot and I can sincerely say the movie is in my top ten greatest movies of all time.
Taymor watched the preview with Paul McCartney who loved the movie so much, HE SANG
ALONG UNDER HIS BREATH !
It's rather trippy in parts but hey it's based in the 60's, what else could you expect?
The preteen and teenager loved it too, especially the amazing choreography although the film led to an indepth discussion about the Vietnam War,draft dodgers,drug use,civil rights movement,sds,black panthers,early feminists, attitudes /diachotomy between working class youth and university educated youth in 1960's America, the Kennedys, Beatles etc. The movie sparked questions ,which is a GOOD thing.
It's the quintessential musical,you can't take your eyes off it for a second,and you can easily watch it over and over.
IT"S A MUST SEE !!!!!
