Maco70 Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 http://www.acrosstheuniverse.com/ Anyone else excited. Or Anyone lucky enough to be in the selected theaters for early release? I just got the sound track, looking for someone whom I can relate with 'ere. Quote
Xenon Odyssey Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 I saw it already. Absolutely amazing. Everything that defined the 60's was jammed into this movie and glorified. Favorite part was when Strawberry Fields Forever was played. Quote
Fritz the Cat Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Eh. I don't like musicals: 'We're running out of plot; let's have a dance routine!' Quote
Hale-Bopp Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Sweet! It looks like Moulin Rouge meets the Beatles. I can dig it. EDIT: I was playing some clips for my wife and it looks like we're gonna go see it this weekend. I totally have to experience this movie in a theater. Quote
Maco70 Posted September 27, 2007 Author Posted September 27, 2007 I totally have to experience this movie in a theater. My sentiments exactly. Quote
djpretzel Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Ooooh! I love finding out about cool stuff that I SHOULD be hip to via OCR forums. Huge fan of Julie Taymor for one reason: Titus. It's probably my favorite Shakespeare film, has a badass soundtrack, and is directed with absolute conviction but also extreme deviance and, I'd argue, genius. Gotta let my sister know... very psyched. Quote

Hale-Bopp Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 I gotta say that I'm all about modernized, super produced arrangements of classic rock/pop songs. Beatles tunes are especially perfect for this. The way they're written leaves them open to so many kinds of interpretation. I get excited just thinking about it. Quote
Alpine Flame Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 I liked the "Hey Jude" part of the movie... I got a little misty eyed... but that movie is made of epic. They should have had an intermission in the middle, just like in the old movies. I got the soundtrack to it. Yaay! Quote
Hale-Bopp Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Just got back from this. Wow. What a roller coaster ride! Quote
JJT Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 supposedly taymor lost final cut of the film....which might explain why it felt a little disjointed at times. definitely got chills during "strawberry fields" and "because." its amazing how they could use something like 30 songs from the Beatles' catalogue and i still feel shorted.
