Do you ever find yourself scanning the video aisles searching for a movie to satisfy your needs; well, the wait is over. In this column you will find my weekly recommendations on demand, satisfying your every movie desire and much more.
"Across the Universe" is a movie that takes the era-defining music of The Beatles and portrays a story of love, passion, and chaos in the form of a musical. Now rather than describe the film chapter by chapter, I will go as far as to say that this film brings classic music to a new age, allowing both admirers from the past to indulge and sing-along while captivating new ones from the present.
The main character, Jude, a young adult from Liverpool, travels "across the universe" in search of answers, running into situations and people that change him dramatically.
The film utilizes music to define an era of war and radical change in society, but most importantly, it helps illustrate the importance of love and cherishing those special bonds of friendship. The film covers the life of a soldier, musician, artist and revolutionary.
The music of The Beatles changed the face of the earth. By creating such a drastic change in people and society, The Beatles did what other bands had never done before. Hopefully this film entices you adequately enough to rent it. It's a must watch and more importantly, you don't want to feel left out at dinner conversations.
