I watched Across the Universe this weekend and...

I watched Across the Universe this weekend and absolutely loved it. I wanted to share with you one of the most unique interpretations of a piece of music I've ever (EVAH) seen. It's The Beatles, I Want You/She's So Heavy with a twist on it so savage, so grim that I may not be able to listen to that particular song anymore without the images of the movie being conjured up.

Incredible. Unbelievable. Masterful.

Although I hate YouTube, and will freely profess that it's proof of the existence of Satan, it seems to get the job done, y'know?)

3. I had never heard of it, but I watched it last weekend...

My brainaic 19 year old daughter selected this as her selection for her last movie nite... I was extremely impressed

4. Across the Universe ruined the Beatles.

Hopefully they can recover from this travesty.

5. I didn't like it either

The one part that got to me was the Let it Be portion. That packed a wallop. Other than that though, I found way too over-literal for artwork.
