Strawberry fields forever


Across the Universe was a very good movie - all of the Beatles' songs had great interpretation, however Strawberry Fields is my favorite by far!

I've always wondered what my life would have been if I lived in the sixties - so many riots and changes, I am sure I wouldn't have been bored :) But back to the movie, the scenes were very rich in symbols and emotions, and I was really happy to notice that most of the main characters had names from Beatles' songs! Another really unique thing about this movie is the live signing from the actors - according to the extra features on the DVD most of the songs were performed live, not lip synced, how often do we see that? Maybe this is the main reason why the soundtrack is so captivating - well known and loved songs got a new life in this movie. You should definitely see it!
