Sinopsis(1)
Una historia de amor ambientada en el trasfondo de los años 60 en medio de los años turbulentos de las protestas contra la guerra, la exploración mental y el rock´n roll. La película se traslada desde los muelles de Liverpool hasta la psicodelia creativa de Greenwich Village, desde las calles rasgadas por las revueltas de Detroit hasta los campos de muerte de Vietnam. Los desventurados amantes, Jude y Lucy, junto con un pequeño grupo de amigos y músicos, son arrastrados hacia los movimientos emergentes contra la guerra y los movimientos contraculturales, con el "Dr. Robert" y "Mr. Kite" como sus guías. Las fuerzas tumultuosas fuera de su control finalmente terminan por separar a los jóvenes amantes, obligando a Jude y a Lucy -frente a todos los inconvenientes- a descubrir su propio camino para volver a encontrarse.

I just don't have much to say about this film. The Beatles songs are used incredibly innovatively here, and their new arrangements are excellent, not to mention that it's possible to create a quite meaningful story based on them. Great characters, but still, you just know that this all relies on something that was created fifty years ago. These songs never get old. Yes, I love the Beatles.

Nothing's gonna change my world. Behind the beautiful camerawork, the unique interpretation of Beatles songs, and complete immersion in musical numbers, there is a slightly confused mixture that looks like it was created by at least a dozen screenwriters. The loss of love, innocence, or hope, so simply outlined by characters like Sadie or Prudence, resonates at least halfway. And yet, this love story with different views on the crisis period could have sounded absolutely perfect. On one hand, I am sorry that so much potential resulted in only a few perfect and several very solid scenes. On the other hand, the strengths (the main duo, the compositionally perfect "Strawberry Fields Forever", the touchingly culminating "All You Need Is Love") shine so brightly that they overshadow the excessive surrealism and fragmentation.

Compared to other musicals, this one is still quite okay. This is mainly due to the fact that in most cases I listened to well-known songs. At times, Across The Universe reminded me of Mamma Mia!, which has more in common with it than some might think. The parallel between Liverpool and The Beatles was very nice. Nevertheless, I was not particularly impressed nor offended. At times I was watching the movie, at times only listening to it, and that was more or less enough. Nothing more was necessary.
