Across the Universe

[Nightsx]

"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 painted and three-dimensional animation, the film is paired with many Beatles songs that defined the time."

I don't know if anyone else has seen the preview for this movie, or read anything about it, but I have to say it looks and sounds like one of the best movies we've seen roll through the screens in the past couple of years. I'm kind of nervous about them remaking the Beatles music, I'd hate for them to ruin anything, but the trailer does enough justice to satisfy me.

Both I and the girlfriend are very stoked about this. She loves old rock and I just love trippy and innovative movies (plus I've got a bit of a soft spot for musicals).

This movie will fail in the box office, but will likely rock and win awards and shit. I was excited when I saw the preview but I like sappy movies like this, but other people I was with just laughed and said "never."

I'm pretty sure it's a fictional movie, at least that's what imdb.com is saying, and usually trailers will say something like "inspired by a true story" or something if it is based off something real.

You're probably right, not too many people appreciate a good movie if it has any sort of sappy love theme to it, but the Academy always eats it up.

[Anyway]

I remember seeing this preview in the theatre. I usually hate hate hate musicals but the story looks great and all the songs are beatles songs? Pretty much sold me. Definitely a movie im gonna have to see with the girlfriend.
