Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector 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.
- GoofsAt the military funeral, the soldiers fold the flag wrong, as the stars should never face down. Soldiers would definitely know this.
- Alternate versionsThe 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.

Featured review
A 'Must See' Film Experience!!
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!
