    Having the Beatles' "I Want You" sung by the Uncle Sam poster is a stroke of genius. And then "She's So Heavy" while carrying the Statue of Liberty...brilliant. Julie Taylor is such an inventive director. An amazing, underrated movie.

      I figure it’s most likely due to song rights, but it’s also a pretty tricky story to adapt visually with all the variety of locations and styles it goes through. I was thinking the same too, but the scale would have to be severely paired down unless they’re willing to invest millions into the production (which given Taymor’s history with Spider-Man…yeah….)

    "Across the Universe" the film is the best thing ever done with the Beatles catalog, that wasn't done by creators. This scene is the most intense in the film and shows the fate of many young Beatles fans who believed that All You Need is Love, but were sent off to kill their fellow man over politics, many never to return.
    In a way, all of America and the western world never return to the beauty and the hope we had before that cataclysm.

      I love when Max said that. Ray Manzarek from the Doors swallowed tin foil to avoid the draft so it would look like he had tumors. Morrison sat facing the wall silently to avoid the draft,he was a maniac

    I'm pretty sure he says "spot on my lung," instead of "lawn." That's why he swallowed the wad of cotton as he entered the recruitment facility, because it would show up as a spot on his lung on an xray. Still, it's an awesome quote. Poor bastard tried every trick in the book, too bad he didn't stay in college, students at that time we exempt from the draft.

    I haven't watched this movie in ages, and I should probably do that. This was definitely is one of my favorite scenes, having had friends who enlisted to fight the "war on terror" made this hit different for me when I first saw it, and it's such a powerful critique of the draft and the US military in general. Choreography is amazing!

    Im about to join the Army and I am going to be a Mine Hunter. I keep coming back to this because I love what they did with the music and the video. It makes you show how HEAVY liberty is and what the young men went through during the 60s. My Dad is a Vietnam vet and got drafted in 68. He served from 68 to 70 in DaNang and said it was the worst trip of his entire life. I hope to follow in my Daddy's footsteps

    My dad enlisted bc he knew his number was up soon. He chose the navy, and spent the war in a submarine in Spain. But he rarely talks about how the whole process was, knowing buddies who were shipped off to Vietnam. He wasn't nearly cut out for the service and never would have been in it without a draft.

    One of the my favorite things about this movie is how they managed to recontextualize some songs and breathe new meaning into them. This one is probably the best example, along with Strawberry Fields Forever and Happiness is a Warm Gun.
