no war, just sex

There is a movie review in the three-part series of the previous issues, which is [Charlie's War], and the title uses no war, just sex. Watched [Across The Universe] last night and found that the same applies. In fact, watching this movie was quite passive, because in the annual summary of "Watching the Movie" last year, this movie was put together with [Once], the preference for small productions and the preference for romantic comedies became Reason to watch.
In fact, after watching it for a long time, I found out that this movie turned out to be a musical, which is a bit unpleasant, because I have never had any patience for musicals. I watched [Chicago] bravely and watched it. In my impression, I only watched [Moulin Rouge]. Just a little pleasure. But this movie has reasons for me to keep watching it. Recently, I like Evan Rachel Wood so much (to reiterate, I really don't believe that such a pure and innocent 87-year-old MM turned out to be Marilyn Manson) This ghost's girlfriend, is it the American version of Gillian?); Jim Sturgess, who has a very kind and British face; of course, looking at the back, I found that there are too many The Beatles masterpieces interspersed in the middle.
The background of the story is roughly set in the period when the large-scale anti-Vietnam War began in the United States. In fact, I know very little about the classic pop music in the West. At most, I only stay on the basis of the Beatles, Elvis, and johnny cash. For them, I have only listened to the best-selling songs. song. Fortunately, about half of the songs in [Across The Universe] have been heard, and the climax of the movie will be hummed along with them. How do you say it, whether you say this is an anti-war movie or a movie where love is the only one, everyone's opinions will be different. I think those literati and scholars who like to pretend to be forceful always like to refer to this kind of movie. The film has been elevated to the height of sociology, what did it reflect on the voice of the people at that time, what did it reflect on the socialist ideas of the left (the anti-war elements in the film very much admire our chairman mao, I really don’t know what the American people think... mao is War mad...) and so on, but as far as I'm concerned, I think the theme of the movie is to show love. By the way, this movie is a super-long MTV that videotapes songs from The Beatels.
In fact, combined with the mood last night, the second half of the movie depicting the breakup of the two made my heart aches. I haven't felt this way for a long time, and the last song, "Hey Jude" really gave me I have a lot of courage to live, I think, I am still the kind of very simple person. no war, just make love. . . What should this sentence be like now?

    There are still a lot of loopholes, but in the middle of the night, I can stay awake all the way and watch it enthusiastically. It's pretty good. In fact, this should be rock and roll more than singing and dancing. It doesn't have to be noisy to be called a rock movie. It’s the first time I understand the lyrics of the chieftain by watching the subtitles; the first time I saw Bono without sunglasses, it would be in the movie, sweat...
