Avis sur le produitAcross the Universe DVD 2007 2-Disc Deluxe Edition Beatles Evan Rachel Wood NEUF

Each character had purpose

While I do appreciate and love musicals, I am not familiar with any Beatles tunes. There were parts that tripped me up but I could see how it fit into the story and the time in which it takes place. I did love Jim Sturgess' role and feel that without him I would have wanted to see it again. It is well written and silly, each character had a purpose.Lire l'avis complet...

Re-living my youth!

What a wonderful film. I lived these years as a young man. The craftsmanship to put together the excellent choice of cast, moments in time, terrific musical renditions of the Beatles incredible music make this a 'document of the times.' I absolutely love this film. Beautifully filmed scenes capture both my eyes and my heart! A must see for every 'baby boomer' wishing to share the gist of our world in our youth.Lire l'avis complet...

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE ~WORK OF ART ! and HEART!

WOW !!! WOW !!! WOW !!!
THIS WAS Pink floyd meets beatlemania-with a twist of tommy and excellent never used before dialogue and music combinations .

We loved this movie -Lock it up though not suitable for teens or children.

being a beatles freak and throwback from the 60's in an 80's reality -we fell in love with this movie -

We recognised the inuendo character types right away -JANIS JOPLIN (SADIE) I thought was grace slick . but hubby guessed her character right away . HER phycodelic mersedes benz gave her away at the end though as janis joplin. and JOJO we knew right away was a JIMIE HENDRIX TYPE OF CHARACTER .

we loved Jude -and Max and wanted to take them home ...they were excellent -

everyone was just absolutely perfect in the movie .

WE LOVED THE PINK PUNCH SCENE AND THE BUS RIDE -THE FEILD WAS REALLY BIZARE -WHAT A TRIP . for THOSE OF US WHO REALLY DID ACID IT WAS TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE OR WHAT WE COULD REMEMBER OF THE MEMORY LANE ...lol.

I loved it -it was a great piece of work !!! sure to go down as the best musical of the 21st century ....the scene about the riots and the little black kid left me in tears -that scene really messed me up! I AM GLAD SHE CHOSE TO CAST THAT KID -that little guy can sang !!!

everyone was just a raw buzz of talent !
and I would have never guessed that they were pretending to smoke a joint with out anything between thier fingers ...they faked me out . hubby and I notice just about everything and that flew right over our heads .

this is a sure to be a muscial movie favorite for years to come .

this wont get buried on the shelf

-for beatles fans and 60's revolution era -and vietnam vets and people who were deeply affected by the war .

this is a wonderful way to memoralize that era .

I was born in 1965 and my dad could have been drafted -but my mom BAILED HIM OUT with pregnancy papers saying she was pregnant and had no one to provide for her ...and my dad got out of going to vietnam.
he never tried to enlist .
other family members were affected by the war and I have a cousin who is severely retarded as a direct result from his daddy being exposed to agent orange .
so the war had a big affect on my mom's friends and some of our family .

excellent movie .
too cool .

loved the way they gave the characters names of the songs too ...

we were waiting for THE SONG -AND SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW ...
BUT IT WORKED that alot of times they mentioned titles to songs but did not sing them ...

what a great movie
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO !!!!!Lire l'avis complet...

Worst movie I've seen in a long time!

The entire movie is a sad rehash of the events of the 60's. Hollywood is clearly mentally bankrupt in terms of ideas. I'd rate this as less than zero if possible. Watching this was painful. My family buys 5 DVD's a week so naturally we see the good and the bad and everything in-between. I've seen school musicals done buy students that were far better than this. What a waste of time and money! Avoid at all cost, trust me!

Well crafted, original and very enjoyable

The movie was well crafted and well choreographed.

I was surprised how the director & writer were able to make the plot of the movie work well with the songs. Having grown up in the 60's it brought back a lot of memories, so good, some bad, but all the memories were welcome.

The only downside to the movie was the sequence after Bono's cameo in "I Am the Walrus" during this sequence the director lost track of the story line and, in my opinion, got way off course with the plot of the movie.

However, Bono's performance was very good and he gave a lot of meaning to a well liked song.

Overall the movie was enjoyable and I would recommend it.Lire l'avis complet...

A feast for the senses.

Such a great film. The music and cinematography arenjust stunning and really enhance the experience of the modern musical. Story is superb and the use of the lyrics to carry it along is just brilliant.Lire l'avis complet...

Beautifully done!

I love this movie.. Brilliantly depicts the late 60's better than any other movie.
Love the renditions of the 30+ Beatles tunes, neither carbon copies of the originals yet all very recognizable. The lyrics to the songs become dialogue in the movie. Perfect!!!
This is the enhanced version with over 2 hours of special features, almsot as entertaining as the movie itself!Lire l'avis complet...

Fun

A gritty and fun musical based on Beatles tunes. Some may find the overt references groan inducing and eye-rolling, but forget all that and just enjoy the show. Very talented performers and an engaging plot. Watch for the cameos!Lire l'avis complet...

Great just like The Beatles

Set in America during the Vietnam War, Across the Universe is a powerful love story set against a backdrop of political and social unrest: it's a story of soul-searching, self-doubt, and individual powerlessness cleverly conveyed through a multitude of Beatles songs. Like young adults all across America during the 1960's, Jude (Jim Sturgess), Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), Max (Joe Anderson), Sadie (Dana Fuchs), Prudence (T.V. Carpio), and JoJo (Martin Luther) are in turmoil over the war; questioning their individual roles in the war effort and struggling to find a way to hold true to their beliefs while making a difference in the world. While love proves a powerful uniting force, its limitations become clear as relationships are strained and broken over individual perceptions of responsibility to cause and country. A fairly bizarre juxtaposition of extremely stylized, almost hallucinogenic scenes of swirling colors and reflections, highly choreographed dance segments, seemingly commonplace character interaction, and emotionally packed close-up footage of characters lost in contemplative song, this film imparts a good sense of the confusion and passion of the time and is at once powerful, invigorating, and disturbing. The film runs a bit long at 2-hours 11-minutes and several segments drag noticeably thanks to some incredibly slow song tempos. Warning: this production may change how you think about a favorite Beatles song forever.Lire l'avis complet...

‘Across the Universe’ with The Beatles

I don’t know how I missed this movie from 2007.
The compelling love story, written around music by the Beatles, captures the innocence of first love disturbed by war, hate and violence of the 60-70’s, still surviving though less naive.Lire l'avis complet...
