Across the Universe(2007)- User Reviews

This film does what I would have thought impossible: it allows you to see the Beatles music as if it had never been presented to the general public. Nothing short of a raising of the dead, this film creates the impression that you need to watch the credits at the end to see who wrote the songs, never suspecting that they could be the work of a single British rock band with improbable range and divrsity. Cudos to the whole company involved in making this for having the courage to disregard the fixed ideas about what the lyrics of these songs mean. For fans who have longed for an update of Hair, there is the bonus that it does that too.

This is on my Top Ten Films to Save from Nuclear War list.
