..strawberry fields, nothing is real, and there's nothing to get hung about..
good thing im such a beatle fan, or else i would have dismissed this movie, across the universe, as typical b movie. truth is, despite its very simple plot, the music soars! across the universe is a passionate musical love story set during the turbulent 1960's and to the great songs of The Beatles. 
from the first scene, where jude sings ..is there anybody going to listen to my story all about a girl who came to stay.., i was totally drawn. and it didn't help that the main character, jude, was way over cute and has a liverpool drawl! plus the hair, very.. unruly. haha! ok this looks so, so familiar ;) anyways, they did some of my favorite beatles songs like, "strawberry fields forever", "i want to hold your hand", "if i fell", "all you need is love", "across the universe", "hey jude", "and i love her". i love the part where jude was creating an artwork of strawberries pinned to a white wall, and interchangingly the vietnam war was being shown. and as he crushed and destroyed the strawberries due to love frenzy with lucy, red juices oozed on the wall as real blood brought by war was shown too. and all along, jude was singing 
"strawberry fields forever"!!! ang galing! it was an artwork in motion. the funny thing was i was singing with the characters all throughout the movie. hay, i couldn't figure out why others would say that this is a beatle betrayal. the movie was psychedelically charming. as an artist wanna-be, i was blown away by the use of visual arts and effects. the casts were unknown, but i give them a 5 star for their performance. this is the first movie i really, as in really enjoyed watching this year. and im sharing this especially to all beatle fanatics especially to my rocker cousin, ryu! yup, do watch it and you'll know exactly what i mean ;)
