Album Notes Composer: Elliot Goldenthal. The 2007 movie musical ACROSS THE UNIVERSE celebrates beloved songs by the Beatles in the context of a fictional romantic tale from director Julie Taymor. Anchored by young love-struck characters named Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), the film features the cast, which also includes Joe Cocker and U2's Bono, performing Fab Four tunes with great gusto. Among the many highlights of the soundtrack are Sturgess's emotive rendition of the title track, Cocker's stomping version of "Come Together," and an energetic take on "I Am the Walrus" by Bono and the Secret Machines. Like Cirque du Soleil's LOVE show, UNIVERSE presents Beatles classics cast in a dramatic light, giving the album a wide appeal with its boisterous, Broadway veneer. | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews Review created: 07/25/08 by: I love the Beatles, I loved this movie and all the music! This is a must-have if you enjoyed the movie and soundtrack. As others have mentioned, 1 song is not on the CD: "I want you." That was a great scene, so I don't know why the decision was made to not include it. My only other wish is that the CD would include an unabridged version of Jim Sturgess singing "Girl." The song, his voice, and the background instrumental is so beautiful and melancholy, I just want to hear the rest of the song! I know the whole song was not in the movie, but... If you are thinking about buying this CD and you're reading reviews because you're not sure, then all I have to say is YES, BUY IT! You will not regret it. Make sure you get this 2-disc deluxe version. Review ID: 10000000008079918 Was this review helpful? Report this review Great c.d. This item arrived fast and my kids and I just love the music.

I absolutely loved the movie itself, especially the music, the way it's changed and put together. I think most of the cast are excellent singers. Because I loved the movie, I was surprised at the differences in the soundtrack. The deluxe edition has all songs on it, so make sure you get that one. The origional one only has one cd and is missing many songs. The big difference in the music is the background music. It has been changed a bit the background music can sometimes drown out the singing. All in all, I would recommend it and buy it again. If this is helpful to you, please let me know!
