Anti-war protests are extolled.ĪCROSS THE UNIVERSE would be a pathetic movie were it not for the rousing Beatles songs. A lot of other rock stars have cameo roles. The rock singer Bono shows up in the Neal Cassady character. They get deeply into the sex scene, the drug scene and the anti-war scene in late 1960s New York. Max drops out of school and they all move to New York, to live in a hippie commune run by Sadie and her Jimi Hendrix boyfriend. Jude falls in love with Max’s sister, Lucy. He gets involved with Max, who looks 10 years older than a Princeton undergraduate. He searches for his father at Princeton and finds his father is not a professor but a janitor. Jude leaves his ship factory in Liverpool, signs on as a seaman on a freighter and illegally jumps ship in America, Later in the movie, he makes a comment about how liberating it feels to be an illegal immigrant. The movie opens with Jude sitting on a beach singing one of the Beatles songs. One line, from the revolutionary SDS leader at Columbia University, says, “The United States will never again be seen as a heroic country of freedom, but from now on as an imperialist, exploitative state.” And, that is the movie’s message. The movie wants to explore the 1960s in a warm, nostalgic way. However, having gone through that phase and rejected it, it doesn’t even work as an LSD vision. It starts with all the Beatles music, according to the press notes, and builds a very tenuous story by linking the songs together in a visual, musical incarnation of a drug induced LSD vision. Content:ĪCROSS THE UNIVERSE attempts to approach filmmaking from the complete artistic opposite of traditional plot, character, dialogue, etc. Except for the music, the movie fails on practically all accounts and contains extreme sex and nudity. It builds a very tenuous story by linking many Beatles songs together in a visual, musical incarnation of a drug-induced LSD vision of an anti-American, anti-Christian Communist humanist utopia. Jude, Lucy and Max get deeply involved in the sex scene, the drug scene and the anti-war scene in late 1960s New York.ĪCROSS THE UNIVERSE approaches filmmaking from the complete opposite of traditional plot, character, dialogue, etc.

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE is a witless salute to the drug-induced, free love society of the anti-war movement in the 1960s.
