Across the Universe

Across the Universe was a drama, musical and romance movie that was directed by Julie Taymor. The movie stars Evan Rachel Wood (Lucy), Jim Sturgess (Jude), Joe Anderson (Max Carrigan), Dana Fuchs (Sadie) and others. I thought that it was pretty cool that Bono had a small acting and singing part in the movie. In the movie Jude is a dock worker who travels to America to find his unknown father and meets Lucy who he falls in love with and Max is drafted to Vietnam, which influences Lucy being against the war. I thought the movie was good at depicting events in the 60's through some strange but interesting filmography. I think you would have to enjoy both musicals and drama to watch the movie because this seemed to be the essense of the film overall. The singing was pretty good but it was not always probably what would be number one billboard hits. It was a little bit hard to follow every moment but I thought the movie was entertaining enough for me with it's artistic style, singing, action and events.
