Title: Across the Universe

Synopsis from Imdb.com: An original musical film, Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and animation, the film is paired with many songs by The Beatles that defined the time.

Director: Julie Taymor

Writers (WGA): Dick Clement (screenplay) &
Ian La Frenais (screenplay)

Genre:Drama / Musical / Romance more

Cast:
Evan Rachel Wood ... Lucy
Jim Sturgess... Jude
Joe Anderson... Max Carrigan
Dana Fuchs... Sadie
Martin Luther McCoy... JoJo
T.V. Carpio... Prudence

And, not to mention- Bono and Eddie Izzard (!!!)

It's freaking awesome all. Insanely artistic, but visually brilliant. And the songs are pretty fab as well. And as for Jim Sturgess and Joe Anderson (the latter of which also played Henry Austen in Becoming Jane)...

Basically, if this movie was a person, I would marry them. *mock swoon*

Right then... anyone else seen it? (Yes I know it's weird, therefore I will forgive you-more or less, ha!- if you don't share my opinion, hehehe...)
