I would love to own the Across the Universe soundtrack, but currently I only have its "Because" version. This is truly a remarkable beautiful musical film. Its plot outstandingly flows around The Beatles' most memorable songs. It is set during the 1960's counter culture anti-war movement with young people struggling to live their stray ways together, most centered are the lovers Jude and Lucy whose connection suffers among the raging revolution. The film's forte lies solely on the musical and kind of abstract visual experience parallel to the time's rising popularity and accessibility to hallucinogens. The characters are loosely but interestingly developed and the technical logistics of the plot are considerably unrealistic. Yet, it does not fail to impress as it dramatically sweeps the audience under the tension of youthful passion amidst love, revolution, and music.
