The meaning of existence

Some movies are like novels, some are like paintings, some are like music, and most of them are a combination of several genres. The story of this movie is not very much, it is more about integrating Beatles songs in the plot development, which can be regarded as a work for fans to commemorate their idols.

Indispensable to the film is its theme, pursuit, rebellion, love, anti-war, freedom, all of which are reflected in these films. Let me talk about a topic - the meaning of existence

What are people going to do? Why did Jude come to America to find his father? Why did Marx drop out? Why did Lucy join the anti-war? What happened to Prudence? How can Sandy and Jojo be so mad at each other?

believe it? These are the same questions in the music of the Beatles. However, some questions have no convincing answers. In doubts, in crossroads, you don't know where to go.

It's not what you do that matters, it's how you do it -- what Jude says in the movie. There are a lot of flaws in this sentence, but in a certain situation, when you can't choose too many, you can consider it.

The title of the film is Across the Sky or Across the Universe. It seems to have nothing to do with the content of the film. What in the film can transcend time and space and remain unchanged for eternity? If there is, it must be very valuable. You philistine, you don't hurry to find it and sell it for money.

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!
