Goofs:
Anachronisms: When Jude is seen packing his stuff in his Liverppol bedroom just after finishing on the docks we can see a Liverpool FC poster on the wall mimicking the famous "This is Anfield" sign. The LFC crest design shown on that poster hadn't come into being in the 60's - in fact it's probably more at home in the late 80's. more

A 'Must See' Film Experience!!, 14 September 2007
9/10
Author: moveup-1 from Canada

Across the Universe is a love story and musical with creative interpretations of Beatles classics. Critics looker for deeper meaning seem to forget this simple fact. Incredible cameos by Joe Cocker, Bono, and an earth-shattering Gospel version of 'Let it Be', are all in themselves reason enough to see the film. I was lucky enough to see this recently at the historic Elgin theater in Toronto. Julie Taymor is one of the most eloquent directors I've heard to date. Not only has this film advanced the art of film-based musicals, it will most certainly get the Oscar nod and introduce a legion of new young fans to the Beatles. I for one can't wait to see and experience it again!
