Across the Universe

I just saw the movie and its damn good. i can't wait to watch it again. three cheers to the editor and director. A fuckin' good job! I can't wait to have that movie on DVD. it realy is an audio-visual delight.
i have never seen a movie with as much coordination of the lyrics and messages to the visuals and imagery. as a beatles' fan, i am so fuckin' glad the songs weren't bastardized. yes, a couple of changes to the tempo and beat but it worked!
now i'm in the Beatle fever again. listening to their tunes and messages as avid as i used to be and with much more zeal. Their songs bring me to that dream land of tangerine trees and marmalade skies since i was a kid. imagery such as strawberry fields and the coming together of things over me, morals for Jude and Prudence, and letting all troubles be have shaped my soul more than most artist combined will ever do. And now i am letting their words convey my soul once more as life gets more and more complicated and senseless. letting their melody be the language of my heart, i find myself calmed and filled. as if the blanket of doubt on my love was swept away. Hey, i always believed in John's "All you need is love", seeing their songs come alive this time reminded me how true it is and how true it makes me feel.
