From the docks in Liverpool to Greenwich Village in New York, from the street riots in Detroit to the battlefield killings in Vietnam, the chaotic age of dreams and disillusionment coexists.
The music of the Beatles is the soul of the film, and more than 30 classic songs are used throughout to set the plot, construct the whole film, and bring people directly back to the hippie era.
The title of the film, "Across the Universe," is the name of the Beatles song. It fits perfectly with the psychedelic abstract style of the image.
The names of the protagonists in the film are also derived from the Beatles songs. Jude from "Hey Jude" and Lucy from "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".
And the male protagonist came to New York from Liverpool, which obviously coincides with the process of the Beatles starting from Liverpool and then shocking the world. It can be said that this is a film that pays homage to the Beatles.
BTW The image style of this film is extremely gorgeous, and the director used a lot of gorgeous pictures when expressing love.
