The last forty minutes began to get better. . .

This is the hardest movie I've ever seen. . . .
I only watched the first half yesterday, because it was so boring, I gave up, and thought, if it wasn't for those familiar music, I would give him 2 stars. Today, I forced myself to watch the second half. The beginning was as ugly as ever, and in the last 40 minutes, it finally got better. . . It's not easy, I want to say whether to add a star or not, think about it or forget it. . .
In fact, I have always been very tolerant of musicals, but this one really makes me not complimented. Except for the last 40 minutes, all the music insertions are too deliberate, but it is not the kind of deliberateness of ordinary musicals, no I know how to express it, but it is extremely unnatural. The plot is also not interesting, although it is fictional, but you can't be so boring. . . And that little Asian girl, almost redundant. . .
I think I would like it more if each song was cut out as an MV. . . Some of them are really good, such as strawberry fields forever
. In short, if you want to watch it, just watch the next 40 minutes. . .

Across the Universe quotes

  • [after seeing Prudence performing as "Henry the Horse" in Mr. Kite's circus]

    Jude: Prudence!

    Mr. Kite: She's called "Henry," and it's a lot of explanation, but don't worry about it, kids, okay? Just tune in, turn off, drop out, drop in, switch off, switch on, and explode.

  • Max's Father: Goddammit, Max! Get serious, for once! What are you going to DO with your life?

    Max: Why is it always what will I do? "What will he do", "What will he do," "Oh, my god what will he do", Do, do, do, do, do. Why isn't the issue here who I am?

    Uncle Teddy: Because, Maxwell, what you do defines who you are.

    Max: No, Uncle Teddy. Who you are defines what you do. Right Jude?

    Jude: [awkward] ... Well, surely it's not what you do, but the, uh... the way that you do it.
