    The visual of the draftees literally carrying the Statue of Liberty into Vietnam while singing “She’s so Heavy” is, truly, one of the most powerful images ever put onto film.

      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.

      It’s called mass ornamentation. We see beauty and uncanniness in humans behaving mechanically in perfect synchronicity. You can trace a lot of it to Fritz Lang’s Metropolis or the Rockefeller Girls, which were the first filmed examples of this kind of effect.

    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
