Hey guys...@liff here.
I don't know who would want to
read this post, but I just
wanna write something on this
barren piece of an online page.
Maybe you guys are too busy doing
your powerpoint presentations.
Tsk tsk...I finished mine 3 weeks
ago.. *snigger*
Anyways.. The Dumb-Dumbs went to
watch "ACROSS THE UNIVERSE" 2 days
ago.. which was a friday right
after work.
Here's my brief take on the movie.
Firstly, if you are a big Beatles
or Oldies fan (such as myself),
you have to catch it. Because all
the songs in the soundtracks are
cover versions of Beatles' songs.
From the widely loved "All You Need
Is Love" to the psychadelically high
masterpiece "Strawberry Fields Forever".
Too bad there's no Yellow Submarine
though.
And the artists can actually sing..
it sounds like im telling you to
buy the soundtrack instead of
watching the movie but you have to
see how they incorporate each scene
with their resepective songs.
Anyways.. The movie is NC16, so if
you are offeneded by artistic nudity
or drug induced visuals..then stay
away from it.
As Eric has agreed with me after the
movie.. it seems that the director
tried too hard to be artsy fartsy..
Well, there's this particular scene
which was way annoying.. but I'm not
telling you guys which one is it.
But overall, it was an awesome musical
and visual experience.. By the way, if
you are really into detail.. or
meticulous (as FF would have said)..
you should see how they incorporate the
songs into their manner of speech.
The detail put into that is unbelievable.
And keep a look out for star cameos like
Bono and Salma Hayek. Bono looks funny
as a psychadelic doctor who claims he's
a Walrus *Koo koo Kachoo!*. And don't
let me start on the Salma Hayeks..
Why the plural form? There's 5 of her..
Anyways, catch it for the music and the
visuals.. Watch it wioth someone. Its very
romantic.. Well, it ain't romantic if you're
watching it with 2 other guys though. But
yeah. Look out for obvious subtle references
to Yoko Ono.
7 more weeks. Fuyoh! Woo Hoo! Koo Koo Kachoo!
