      Across The Universe--The Spirit Of BEATLES' Music

      I think the whole film perfectly interprets the spirit of the Beatles' music, and the development of songs and stories is a perfect combination. The whole film is so gorgeous but also a little bit of a family affair. What, exactly, does Beatles music bring? This is how people feel! The only thing that I don't think is good is that the front and back parts of the film maintain the perfect MTV-style gorgeous and decadent style,...

      american idol beatles musical

      I really don't have the appetite. I don't like the way
      of interpreting the lyrics of pure play.
      The handsome guy who is jealous, sings strawberry fields forever when he catches a glimpse of strawberry, dizzy, really dizzy.
      In contrast, I'm not there Judy who was plugged in was criticized by fans and the sound of Positively fourth street was so high
      that I didn't like it. The epic story of Qiong Yao, which was cobbled together, was even more impossible to see. The video style...

      A magical mystery tour of a legendary era

      The film is not as I expected, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
      I have to say the first 30 minutes of the film wasn't any good, but after that things got better. No doubt, the film is for Beatles fans. Perhaps some people who are after a chick-flick would be cheated into the theatre because of its Chinese name (which is lousy), and they're bound to be disappointed, because this film has little to do with romantic love. Of course, the main story line is the love between an English...

      Letting it be means all you need is love

      The whole movie is always run through the song of the Beatles, and the title of the movie is also their song.
      The male protagonist is called Jude, but I didn't notice it at first, but I didn't realize it until the end of the song when I remembered the song Hey Jude. The heroine is called Lucy, and the source should be the song Lucy in the sky with diamands.
      The film is the experimental work of Juliet Taymor, a unique American female director, in 2006.
      The anti-war movement of the...

      Large MV

      For those unfamiliar with the Beatles and the history of the United States in the 1960s, it is indeed difficult to understand the film. Therefore, it is destined that this movie will not become a popular commercial movie.
          For a film based on music, it is not easy to say that it is reasonable, and it is a bit nitpicky to ask how deep and wonderful the story is. Many plots in the play are born to elicit songs, and there is no need to continue to develop after singing. This is indeed a...

      Halfway through, I found out that the second male is the older brother of the female first~ The story of the musical is too messy, or I didn't pay attention to it~ But the highlights are also attractive enough, beatles, and Sichuan burning again~ Hahaha, it's so...

    Behind the scenes gags

    When shooting scenes outside the high school, although everyone who walked into the camera was wearing a hat, a thick jacket or a coat, the temperature at that time was almost 27 degrees Celsius. Between shooting, the extras ran under the parasol prepared by the main actor to cool themselves down.
    Not only did the film’s creative inspiration come from the Beatles’ song, but even the names of most of the characters, such as Jude, Mr....
