During the holiday season my aunt, Tiffany, told my mother and I about Across the Universe, her new favorite movie. Recently my mother and I had a chance to see the movie and were very excited after the praise we had heard.
The movie started alright but quickly lost its story within music. Though the music and cast preformed well, we found that the music was to obviously written into the story and only complicated everything. Though the idea of a film based on the drug age of the 1960s with all music as remakes of Beatles songs is an interesting and creative idea, the writer seemed to be just making a two-and-a-half-hour music video. In my opinion, and not at all to offend anyone, the hubub over this movie was created by collage students who pretend to understand all the mystic, historic, deep, meanings of the film.
