    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Director Julie Taymor watched the premiere of Across The Universe sitting next to Paul McCartney. She was nervous about what he would think so when the movie was over she asked if there was anything he didn't like about it and McCartney responded "What's not to like?" McCartney also sang along with "All My Loving" under his breath, a very moving moment for Taymor.
    • Goofs
      At the military funeral, the soldiers fold the flag wrong, as the stars should never face down. Soldiers would definitely know this.
    • Quotes

      JoJo: Music's the only thing that makes sense anymore, man. Play it loud enough, it keeps the demons at bay.

    • Alternate versions
      The Blu-ray edition omits when the one police officer says "No one else is allowed up there." after allowing the rest of the gang to stay on the roof of the building. This can lead to confusion as to why Lucy wasn't allowed to go up after realizing Jude was up there.

    An incredible experience
    Pure emotion. No one can mix theater with film like Julie Taymor. From beginning to end the film takes you on a psychedelic beatle ride that grips you by the ears, the heart and the soul and never lets go. Even now. Hours after the projector was shut off. Every song adaptation interpretation and setting is spot on, fans of the Beatles will recognize that every detail in Taymor's images recall an instance, a photograph, a line or a quote from the band. Even the girl that comes in through the bathroom window. Nothing is left to chance, everything is on purpose. Amazing. Easily the best film of the year. And in regards to people saying it's a two hour music video.. well... yeah, what the heck were you expecting???
