Across the Universe. Highly Recommended

Just saw this movie for the first time 2 nights ago. I'm not a huge Beatles fan (I don't dislike them, I'm just not into them) but I liked this movie and the use of their songs very much. Especially this scene.

[Edit] New video now available

Yeah, that was an amazingly awesome movie. I love how they integrated the movie titles into the characters and dialogue. Also, I learned some stuff about the 60's that I didn't know before.

My favorite part is when they're all laying in the fields in a circle with their heads together -- some seriously good camera work. But that's a pretty sweet scene you posted, too.

Yeah man, I just saw it for the first time last night. It was so freaking awesome.
My favorite scene was when they were playing "Strawberry fields forever". I thought it was especially awesome how they showed the ocean, then it turned into the inside of the washing machine.
But the whole movie rocked.

I'd rather just watch the real Beatles. They did it much better.:shrug:

I mean... no one can really like Bono, but I love the portrayal of acid and colors.

To whomever commented on the video, I said the video was a good representation of the way colors can appear, not the whole spectrum of visuals you can see.

My mom bought this for me a couple days ago and gave it to me when I saw her today. She said she thought it was "right up my ally." I'll watch it tomorrow when I'm dosing 2c-e.

I went to go see it on acid, actually. Took 3 hits in a park and we went that night to see it.

I didn't like it very much. Then again, I was in a movie theater and I felt like all the images on the screen were controlling my eyes, but the plot that I tried to follow I thought was kinda cheesy.

But I'm not gonna prevent anyone. You may like it. The girl I was with loved it.

It was a good movie. It could be argued that it lacked depth. That scene looked MUCH more psychedelic in theaters (mind you, I was on a low mushroom dose).

My favorite was when their apartment turns into clouds and sky. :ooo:

Watch 'The Yellow Submarine' on LSD, or 'What the Bleep do We Know?' Oh, and Alice in Wonderland...

Great movies to watch whilst tripping.

What the Bleep Do We Know was just sad. Half the people on there didn't know their ass from a hole in the ground, and the director creatively distorted everything the other half said. Watching that movie felt like getting lobotomized.

well I thought the part they mentioned of quantum physics how atoms can be at two different places at once, it makes you think...

With all the people on this planet, and all the structures built on this planet and everything, it's all made of atoms and they flicker between the world we live in, and somewhere else we do not know of...so where do they go? Are there parallel universes? Makes you wonder sometimes...

Plus they just make the movie look cool...that's why I loved it. A lot of it is arbituary bullshit but some of it is worth listening to.

yeah, too bad this is a low-quality crap YouTube video.  the actual footage is pretty crazy.  especially in the beginning of the song, there are some really neat subtle effects, trails unlike traditional trails effects ive seen in other movies.  much more like real psychedelic trails than cheesy movie fx.

anyway, really cool movie, i agree.  at first i thought it was going to be cheesy, they do some typical musical-style stuff in the beginning.  but it picked up quickly.  the songs were all rendered in creative ways.  and how can you not love the Beatles?  we owe much of pop music to them.

:thumbup:

Wow, I started watching this tonight (minus the 2c-e because I didn't get my shipment in) and I had to turn it off after about 30-45 minutes. It was super boring, the covers weren't very great, and the acting wasn't phenomenal or anything.

I might try finishing it sometime if it gets any better... but meh.

Thank you! I had the exact same experience today. WTF is with everyone worshiping that movie? A few hours later I turned it on while I was doing homework in the background, and it gets better, but still pretty boring and campy.

I mean, it was very artistic, I liked the colors, I even liked a fair number of the song renditions, but the thing just doens't hold together as a movie.
