"open up your eyes...."

i finally saw "across the universe". so very intricately done using beatles music. but it also speaks farther than that, it speaks to multiple generations and allows for so much interpretation on looking at life. acknowledging who your true friends are, redefining family, being who you are, and pushing the envelope on "trust".

on a musical note the vocals in the movie are AMAZING. perfect for the movie. granted it is not the likes of hannah montana, jesse mccartney, or any other popular artist on the radio. but from a vocal stand point and well produced genuine sound that is going to last and have an effect on touching ALL people, and not tweens like the earlier stated only do, musically it is far above what is out there, and credit must also be given to the beatles. that is the true measure of an amazing musician and artist... when you write music that all people can perform and interpret in numerous ways.

my favorite song in the movie was "Dear Prudence" especially because of the warmth of the voices, mostly shown from Dana Fuchs ...who voice distinctly resembles that of janis joplin at times but in this song has a warmth that women always strive fore.

another song from Evan Rachel Wood in "if i fell", shows yet again another warm female voice.

the male voices are all wonderful but it is good to point out that these voices from the female are very true, genuine, full and warm in sound, which make it definitely something to listen to.
