It's what you get when you cross midlife-crisis Paul McCartney with Andrew Lloyd Webber cheese. You could go hear better Beatles covers at a karaoke bar. Either listen to a Beatles record, or go see "Rent". It shouldn't go both ways. Ahh! | Reviewer: Mandi | 11/12/09 Honestly, I'm 16 and I've grown up listening to the beatles. But of course I like the movie. If you don't like the way the movie displays the music then don't watch nor listen to it. It's not like someones making you. Listen to the version you like and leave everyone else to their opinion, goodness! lol | Reviewer: Maeli | 10/1/09 I love it when people take things so seriously.... I have heard the original records from the Beatles..and I've recently seen the movie (I know it took me a while..=X)...but I think you should appreciate both styles. The original music is fantastic..but the movie versions are also beautiful. I think that the fact that ACTU opened up the eyes (well..ears) of our youth (which includes me) and introduced them to the Beatles. So what if it's a little different? Atleast everyone knows that this movie is totally based on the Beatles.. there are SO many young rap artist, country artist, and many others that take classic songs and repoduce it into being crap that young people think is their original song or music! Things like that should be argued over..not just a little difference..atleast credit is given where credit is due! Dear Prudence Review | Reviewer: Paul MacLear | 9/30/09 You are all a bunch of complainers. It doesnt matter how the music comes to you or how you come to the music. Its just great music no matter who plays it you cant deny the genius behind it. Its timeless, ageless. give up your possesive intention that the music belongs to any one generation. it belongs to the world at any age, race, religion, or ethnic group. Dont forget what the beatles stood for in the 60's and 70's. Freedom and love regardless of difference or indifference. To claim any specific idea of the music is blasphomy. Grow up allow all generations to express the music in anyway they see fit. freedom of expression has always been the foundation of beatle mania. I am a 39 year old musician / composer and a huge beatles fan from A to Z. I myself have interpreted the songs exactly and at times in a completelty self indulgent manner. My personal versions touch me in ways that the originals do not. Why? Because they inspire me to dream, to feel, to expect more from myself and everyone around me. Including the beatles! If your intention is to be a historian and dwell on one specific fact than have at it. I myself would rather take what the song has given me and go even further than any one true fact could ever accomplish. Why and who the song was written is just the beggining. Would you rather dwell in the past or reval in the future. History will always repeat itself if we are truely historians we would let the natural progression take its course. It will always bring us back to the begining eventually. Never stop the natural evolution for an un-natural revolution. My 2 cents. As for Dear Prudence? One of many great Beatles tunes. Keep listening and never be afraid of what the future may bring. wow | Reviewer: Sammi | 9/30/09 So the Beatles are great and i'm glad to see that this generation has a lot of people that enjoy their music. And to the people that are all pissed off about Across The Universe, Shut up really i mean its nto about the band itself and its not supposed to be. Its portraying the life in the 60's era. Who cares if its all pop'd out and all that it shouldnt matter its a way to keep the sound around and keep everyone loving the old school music. It doesn't matter if its not actually sung by the band in the movie. Its not about that its about the songs, the lyrics, its about sharing great talent with the world. :) Movie vs. Original | Reviewer: Kasia | 9/20/09 Honestly, does it REALLY matter which version you listen too? It's still the same song, maybe in a different key or different beats, but still the same song. I like both versions regardless. So what if the movie portrays it in one way? It's only about how you hear it and how you interpret it. Anyone?? | Reviewer: Mike | 9/10/09 I hear alot of pople on this site claiming to be Beatles fans and how they love the music from ACTU. My question is how many have actually listend to the original Beatles recordings? And not the uber-pop teeny bopper version from that movie. What is music | Reviewer: Bill | 8/16/09 Music is an entirely personal thing. Sure you might gleen something from music that someone else also agrees with. Rather than attempting some allegorical explanation or doing some kind of musical/literary comparison...just enjoy it. its amazing stuff. The "White" album is one of my favorites. Holy Crap. | Reviewer: Rubber soul | 8/16/09 You all seem to argue over ACROSS THE UNIVERSE. If other people like then let them watch it! IF that is how they came to like the Beatles then congratulations, now you love em! And Dear Prudence is a beautiful song and i love it! Across the UNiverse just uses the songs to interpret what the 60s were like becuz the beatles signified the 60s.Oh and i love the movie and the beatles. And why do people keep talking about their age? WHO CARES HOW OLD YOU ARE?! if you want to know evryones age, then mine is 13. what | Reviewer: Russ | 8/9/09 Not sure why some people are talking about Abbey Road. This song is 100% White Album. and lllaura's 100% correct about the song being about Mia Farrow's sister in Rishikesh. It's good to know some people appreciate these songs enough to interpret higher meanings in them, but John really wrote songs about simple things most of the time. But that's part of the beauty in it really - John saw the wonder in every little part of life to the extent that he could write such a beautiful song as Dear Prudence about such a simple thing as a girl being antisocial.
