I CANT WAIT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!

(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

PLOT

The story starts in the early 1960s with a young dock worker named Jude (played by Jim Sturgess) who travels from his home town of Liverpool, England to America in search of the American G.I. father (Robert Clohessy) he has never known. While in America he befriends Max (Joe Anderson) a rebellious young man from a privileged background and his sister Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood). Jude and Max become roommates in a bohemian enclave in New York City where they share an apartment with other young individuals. They are joined in New York by Lucy and a romantic relationship evolves between her and Jude. When Max is drafted to fight in the Vietnam War, Lucy becomes involved in the anti-war movement - leading to strains with the comparatively apolitical Jude. The film is constructed as a musical, with the actors expressing themselves and their inner emotions by singing compositions written between 1963-1969 by the members of The Beatles.

Film soundtrack

The soundtrack of the film includes complete or partial new renditions of 33 compositions written by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr 1963-1969 - that had been recorded by The Beatles. (The songs are invariably referred to by the public and media as Beatles songs though as the compositions themselves were created by, and are officially credited to, the individual writers not the group - such references are colloquial.) Thirty of the songs in the soundtrack feature vocals. Two of the compositions are brief instrumental versions of songs that were originally written with lyrics. There is one composition that was originally written as an instrumental.
The songs are sung by the film's cast members - backed by top session musicians. Two compositions are performed by indie Texan duo The Secret Machines. The film soundtrack also includes original score composed by Elliot Goldenthal. Goldenthal worked with critical acclaim on Taymor's previous films Titus and Frida.
