★ A Breath of Life

Last night we successfully walked down to the majestic Crest theater to catch the 7:30pm showing of Across the Universe. I was a little anxious to see the film after hearing that the renditions would be ruined because of my love for the Beatles, but the film was simply amazing. We all left the building feeling… well really a mixed feelings… the film can only be described as “trippy”

Personally I think the songs were redone in such a way that they fit perfectly with the film so that the remake really didn’t bother me. They brought out the emotions filled in the songs x10, and yes that includes the extremely high and insane feeling from I am the Walrus.

I have to say though, the movie is lengthy and I can think of several scenes that could easily be cut, but then again then there wouldn’t be as much to talk about and laugh at after the movie. Like seriously, did they really need the weird jumping blue men? I guess so since everyone talks about them afterward.

Weird for me, I really liked the actors. I thought that Jude and Max really matched their characters, I personally like their acting, and of course Jude’s accent. Lucy took a while to grow on me, but she really is pretty; I like her flowing golden hair.

All in all, very good. I’d think of buying the DVD… think about it…

Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe

Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
