Review of Across the Universe (2007) by Rong. — 23 Sep 2007
Your liking of this movie will be mostly proportional to the love of the Beatles and your interest in the 60s. The movie is really a series of music videos, though the term is somewhat demeaning to these mostly fabulous montages.
I personally enjoyed the musical covers. The characters didn't need to be called Lucy, Sadie, Rita, Prudence. It helps to have a little inside knowledge of the 60s and the New York scene. The Cafe Wha for example has been changed to the Cafe Huh.
The Village Gate though is still the Village Gate. And the singing from a rooftop is reminiscent of another band's rooftop performance...
