a little catch-up

So I saw Across the Universe. Wow. I'm rather disconcerted that it has taken me so long to become part of this beautiful piece of cinema. At the start, I wanted to see it simply to have a valid opinion on it to utilize during conversations about the film, but it ended up being quite a bit more for me. 

Often I gauge movies by how much I want to see them again right after the film is over, and frankly, though I finished this one in the wee hours of the morning, I would have sacrificed sleep gladly, to watch it again.

What I appreciated most was the seamless fusion of era, story, art, and Beatles music. If anyone has any doubt that cinema is an art form, this film surely proves that it is.
