Hot take:
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is monstrously similar to Across the Universe

Change my mind

does across the universe have a plot about stolen instruments too

I don't think so BUT I mean in that it is a loosely held together mishmash of people singing Beatles songs in an attempt to cash in with weird graphical style

YOu can make an argument that there is a vast difference in quality to that graphical style

but my experience of them was pretty on par

I thought Across the Universe got off to a great start then turned into a game of seeing how many Beatles songs they could cram in.

confession: I thought ATU was boring and pretentious and a reach

Have you seen All This and World War II?

nope

Similar idea of recontextualizing Beatles songs.

i think ATU is not even really a film

its a bunch of music videos that range from really good to not very good

theres ostensibly a plot but fuck if i care or remember it

I just remember people being kind of wood about it when it came out like SO ORIGINAL but I just watched Sgt Pepper and, well

i love some of the covers on the soundtrack
