strawberry fields forever

thoughts. i remember the first time i went to the movies here in provo back in the days of helaman hall. i remember people clapped at the end of the movie....in the theater....and i thought, this place is full of freaks. across the universe is a movie that i have been DYING to see. you could say i slightly obsessed over it considering for a good two weeks i watched the trailer probably 4 times a day. this isn't a joke. here is my review, because i saw it, and i admit i loved it, in an odd way. basically the movie had a lot of singing (which is great because the soundtrack is #1 in my heart), BUT i did wish there was more dialogue between lovers and friends. a lot of the movie was pretty trippy....when i say they portray the 60's in all ways, i mean it. i felt like i was tripping on acid (not that i've ever done that) the entire movie. but it was almost fun in a way. i'm sort of artsy like that. i love these kind of movies. it portrayed a lot of radical movements that happened because of vietnam, and the acting was top notch. but the love story is amazing, the singing is incredible, and i think jude is fascinating. SO, in conclusion, i give it an A-. 4 out of 5 stars. i recommend it if you feel like escaping the world for a few hours (the movie was 2 1/2 hours). and yes, i teared up at one part. sad to say, no one clapped at the end of the movie. but then again, we are in provo, a land of occasionally closed minds.
