Not a movie review of "Across the Universe"

There is only one man I really trust. For good, or bad, that man is Roger Ebert.

So I went to his website the other day, looking for something.

I found “Across the Universe.”

Here is my greatest fear: someone writes a movie; someone gets financing and produces a movie; someone directs that movie; someone edits that movie; and the end result is distributed and seen in theaters. It all seems fine and dandy….EXCEPT IF IT WAS THE MOVIE ALREADY IN YOUR HEAD!

This movie actually pissed me off, because it is so good. If you appreciate The Beatles, you will love it instantly. It rights everything “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” (the movie…not the album) wronged.

I felt like I was a filmmaker, but now I feel sad. I am going to see it again…maybe I will learn something.

P.S. When the mom comes out singing “Hey Jude”, that was where I started crying.
