Director Julie Taymor watched the premiere of Across The Universe sitting next to Paul McCartney. She was nervous about what he would think so when the movie was over she asked if there was anything he didn't like about it and McCartney responded "What's not to like?" McCartney also sang along with "All My Loving" under his breath, a very moving moment for Taymor.
Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney and Olivia Harrison praised the film after seeing it.
"Because" is sung by exactly nine actors - a reference to the way The Beatles recorded the song - the 3-part harmony vocal performance among John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison is overdubbed three times to make nine voices in all.
A scene when Prudence locks herself in the closet and has to be serenaded out by the other cast members - is a reference to a real occurrence in 1968 at the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India where The Beatles, Mia Farrow, Donovan, and others were studying. Mia Farrow's sister, Prudence, was reclusive and did not leave her living quarters to join the other students, inspiring John Lennon to write the song "Dear Prudence." The film also uses the song as a reference to the fictional Prudence character's reluctance to 'come out of the closet' in relation to her sexual orientation.
This film was released in the United States on John Lennon's birthday (October 9th).
"JoJo: Music's the only thing that makes sense anymore, man. Play it loud enough, it keeps the demons at bay."
"Max's Father: Goddammit, Max! Get serious, for once! What are you going to DO with your life? Max: Why is it always what will I do? "What will he do", "What will he do," "Oh, my god what will he do", Do, do, do, do, do. Why isn't the issue here who I am? Uncle Teddy: Because, Maxwell, what you do defines who you are. Max: No, Uncle Teddy. Who you are defines what you do. Right Jude? Jude: [awkward] ... Well, surely it's not what you do, but the, uh... the way that you do it."
