hmm.... maybe i expect too much from this movie, because of the very nice and tempting trailer. and the Beatles. their songs.

it felt like watching a lot of MTVs in a film, the musical is kinda out of place to me. i didn't know it is some kind of musical in the first place... i felt a bit mo chang when they sing, not that they are bad, they have great voice actually, but watching it sometimes reminds me of high school musical, where this is the adult and 60's 70's way.

i will prefer the songs are originally sang by the Beatles, as the background music.
the story is not deep enough as they are so busy singing and sometimes dancing. if you've watched a bit of Enchanted maybe you'll think about asking them to shut up, don't sing, you are in the city. it's ok that they sing, but dance? choreographed performance? i laughed at them with a bit of sigh. thanks to the way they end it, it has kinda saved the movie.

well i don't wanna kill your anticipation towards this movie if you really feel like watching it, maybe you'll find the direction suitable. it will be better to watch this movie if you are familiar with Beatles' songs.
anyway, i get a message from this movie, which is, a war makes everybody either a sad person or an angry person.
peace
.
btw, i like the strawberry logo jude did for sadie. red, juicy and sexy

hahhaha, asking them to shut up...very cute..but that's how musicals are like,,,
my worst experience in musical so far is "hairspray", that really made me mo chang...haha

hmm, i saw the trailer with "hey jude" in it, that was really tempting... but so far heard that it's bad rather than good...

haha~i recalled a movie that made me ask them to shut up not to sing is 'the charlie and the chocolate factory', all the dwarfs that sing when the children got into troubles...

not that i don't like musicals, coz the sounds of music, chicago are great works, high school musical is quite ok too.
but across the universe is too MTV.

i kinda prefer hairspray more in a way compared to this one. I was expecting much more really... have no idea that there'll be this nigro kid singing within a war scene or weird guys appearing in a backstreet singing as well and everything.

some of these ppl do have great voices but...haih~ it juat doesn't give the "click"
