Topic : Movie

Went and saw an excellent movie last week. Across the Universe is a musical/drama. It uses music from the Beatles such as 'strawberry fields forever', 'hey jude', and 'all I need is love' & many more.
A love story set against the backdrop of the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, mind exploration and rock 'n roll, the film moves from the dockyards of Liverpool to Greenwich Village, from the riot-torn streets of Detroit to the killing fields of Vietnam.
The star-crossed lovers, Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), along with a small group of friends and musicians, are swept up into the emerging anti-war and counterculture movements, with "Dr. Robert" (Bono) and "Mr. Kite" (Eddie Izzard) as their guides.
Strong and forceful forces outside their control ultimately tear the young lovers apart, forcing Jude and Lucy – against all odds – to find their own way back to each other.

Go see it, its amazing it sweeps you up into a world of colour, music and tension.

learn, live, love
