Something in the way she moves. Attracts me like no other lover, Something in the way she woos me. I don’t want to leave her now, You know I believe and how. Somewhere in her smile she knows That I don’t need no other lover. Something in her style that shows me. I don’t want to leave her now, You know I believe and how. You’re asking me will my love grow, I don’t know, I don’t know. You stick around now it may show, I don’t know, I don’t know. Something in the way she knows And all I have to do is think of her, Something in the things she shows me. I don’t want to leave her now, You know I believe and how. - The BeatlesAcross the Universe (2007) – 4/5 (cliché plot, nice use of music)
A dock worker Jude travels to America in the 1960s to find his estranged father. There he falls in love with sheltered American teenager Lucy. When her brother Max is drafted to fight in the Vietnam War, they become involved in peace activism. A combination of live action and animation, the film is paired with many songs by The Beatles that defined the time. The film title and main characters are named after various songs of it too. There is a girl named Prudence! :)
My favourite part is the end where Lucy, not knowing Jude is back, is invited by Max to come to the concert, sees the logo Jude designed for Sadie, gets very sad and decides at the door that she can't join them, and walks on. The police break up the concert as the crowd gathering gets larger. Jude hides from the police, and after being left alone on the roof, starts singing "All You Need Is Love" into the microphone. Sadie, JoJo, Prudence, Max, and the rest all rush back up to the roof, and join in. Lucy hears Jude's voice, and frantically rushes to get into the building, only to be stopped by the police. She turns, and runs to a building across the street, and stares at Jude from the roof across the way. She smiles as a tear runs down her cheek. Jude sighs. -J
