It's like a word game with nouns and stories.

How would I expect it? Now I am still doubting myself. While there are a lot of Beatles songs that are gimmicks, I never imagined what that would be like.
I didn't expect the movie to be good from the start. It is indeed a far-fetched MTV collection. Although it is true that it is strung into a story, it can only be called narrative style. No appreciation value at all. And MTV, it only stays in the appearance of the form.
The characters are also not very deep. But JUDE looks a lot like Paul, and his statement about "Liverpool people have jagged teeth" is also funny.
I don't think the director has found the true soul of the Beatles' music, or even a sense of American supremacy.
It's not that you can't make a good movie with so many Beatles songs in full, oh, I think if you can, it must be a Beatles biopic.

Across the Universe quotes

  • Jude: What is that place?

    Prankster: The headquarters of the league of spiritual deliverance!

    Dr. Robert: The home of Dr. Gary, another outlaw, like myself. We're navigators, we're aviators, we're eatin' tators, masturbatin' alligators, bombardiers, we got no fears, we don't shed no tears, we're pushin' the frontiers... of transcendental perception. What's weird is, we haven't met yet, on this or any other plane.

    Prankster: Hey doc, he says he won't see you, man.

    Dr. Robert: Why, is he sick?

    Prankster: He just said he's busy.

    Dr. Robert: Did you tell that

    [sniff]

    Dr. Robert: sonofabitch that we drove 3,000 miles to see him? Alright, everybody back on the bus. We're going home, to California.

    Max: Doc, California isn't home to all of us.

    Dr. Robert: What can I say? You're either on the bus, or off the bus.

  • Mr. Kite: It's me!

    [music blast]

    Mr. Kite: In the thing!
