" Over Cup Of Coffee "

I have never been a Beatles fan. Well i've heard a few of Beatles song but I never connected with their lyrics. I loved Hey Jude but never memorize the lyric. But Across the Universe suddenly came out. It’s a movie musical, a movie genre I love to watch, and the trailer just looked inviting. So I sat down with it one afternoon and allowed it to “help me understand” the “story behind every Beatles song.”

I am amazed at how clever the writers and producers of this film are. A movie based on the music of a band famous over 45 years ago? And the precise use of a particular song to a particular scene–it fits just right, like Cinderella and the glass slipper. Also noteworthy here is the use of masks, extensive make-up, old-school artwork, and representative dance numbers just like in school musical plays. In one part, the film editors also used mono and psychedelic colors to give variety in portraying a scene. The edited scenes seemed kind of ancient, given the opportunities of modern film-making, but remember, it is the time of the Second Indochina War. It IS supposed to be retro-looking.

I must say, after watching the film, I felt a connection with the songs of the Beatles, especially If I Fell, which, in the film, was sang endearingly by Lucy. I actually appreciated the lyrics from the modern cover version! And now, here I am, about to Google the lyrics of the song. This is one movie musical you should watch!

Now, i'm addicted to Beatles Song! I played Beatles song in the car on the way to work and keep singing it again and again
