Across the Universe (2007)

Actors: Kevin Alexander Stea (actor), James Urbaniak (actor), Eddie Izzard (actor), Joe Cocker (actor), Jim Ford (actor), Bill Richards (actor), Joe Cocker (actor), Bill Irwin (actor), Robert Clohessy (actor), Joe Cocker (actor), Kevin Cannon (actor), Bono (actor), Dylan Baker (actor), Lynn Cohen (actress), Harry Lennix (actor),

Plot: Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and animation, the film is paired with many songs by 'The Beatles' (qv) that defined the time.

Genres: Drama, Fantasy, Musical, Romance,
Taglines: All you need is love. Within the lyrics of the world's most famous songs, lives a story that has never been told. Until now. They lived without rules. They loved without fear. But as the world changed, so did they. From director Julie Taymor comes the most original, exhilarating, spectacular, groundbreaking motion picture of the year.

Quotes:

[Thompson is speaking to a crowd of college students]::Questioner: I was just wondering if you could tell me, um, if you thought drugs and alcohol would make me a better writer.::Dr. Hunter S. Thompson: That's a good question. Let me see... [the audience cheers as Thompson lights a joint. A few people throw joints onto the stage] In my case, you know, I hate to advocate drugs or liquor, violence, insanity to anyone. But in my case it's worked.

Dr. Hunter S. Thompson: You couldn't invent someone like Carl Lazlo. He was a... he was one of a kind. He was a mutant. A real heavyweight water buffalo type... who could chew his way through a concrete wall and spit out the other side covered with lime and chalk and look good in doing it.

Dr. Hunter S. Thompson: Hi sir, it's Harris from the Post. Can I get you anything sir?::Candidate: How's the family Harris?::Dr. Hunter S. Thompson: Oh the family, well that's bad news. The screwheads finally came and took my daughter away. Let me ask you a question sir, what is this country doing for the doomed? There are two kinds of people in this country, the doomed and the screwheads. Savage tribal thugs who live off their legal incomes, brow deep out there; no respect for human dignity. They don't know what you and I understand, you know what I mean.::Candidate: You ever play football, Harris?::Dr. Hunter S. Thompson: Yes sir, thank you sir. I played in college, and they're gonna get your daughter too sir. I've heard their rallies, they like Julie but Tricia... and they really hate you sir. You know that one and a half of the State Senate of Utah are screwheads. You know I was never really frightened by the bopheads and the potheads with their silliness never really frightened me either, but these goddam screwheads, they terrify me. And the poor doomed, the young, and the silly, the honest, the weak, the Italians... they're doomed, they're lost, they're helpless, they're somebody else's meal, they're like pigs in the wilderness.::Candidate: Come here Harris, come here. Fuck the doomed!

Dr. Hunter S. Thompson: [into tape recorder] Forecast is for "bad craziness".
