A love story set against the backdrop of the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, mind exploration and rock 'n roll, from the dockyards of Liverpool to the creative psychedelia of Greenwich Village, from the riot-torn streets of Detroit to the killing fields of Vietnam.
Star-crossed lovers, Jude (
Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (
Evan Rachel Wood), along with a small group of friends and musicians, are swept up into the emerging anti-war and counterculture movements, with "Dr. Robert" (Bono) and "Mr. Kite" (Eddie Izzard) as their guides. Tumultuous forces outside their control ultimately tear the young lovers apart, forcing Jude and Lucy -- against all odds -- to find their own way back to each other.
Love the movie. Thought it was great. Love the actors and actress. They made it so believeable.
OUTSTANDING, INCREDIBLE! ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN! CAN'T WAIT FOR ANYTHING OF HERS IN THE FUTURE.
I do not know how I missed this movie in theaters. I am currently watching it on Cable TV (Encore). I have watched it and embraced it over 20 times so far and will continue to do so as long as it is available. For any critic who did not rate this movies favorably, you have to have no emotion or sense of what you are criticizing. There is sooooo much garbage in movies now, that the critics really have nothing to rate. Julie Tremor is fantastic. Witness The Lion King on Broadway. Forget Spider Man on Broadway. Do Across The Universe. What an accomplishment that would be.
