That said, I adore this movie. It is an incredibly accurate depiction of America in the 1970s. </p> <p>Starring Evan Rachel Wood and Jim Sturgess, it follows the lives of a group of teens/young adults growing up in the midst of the confusion and hatred of war, civil rights violence and drugs. The story is told with the help of songs by the Beatles, which are redone very well.</p> <br class="clear" /><p><a href="http://hutchinsonleader.com/news/schools/school-soup-check-out-film-across-universe-7943">read more</a></p> http://hutchinsonleader.com/news/schools/school-soup-check-out-film-across-universe-7943#comments Schools Thu, 08 May 2008 10:43:39 -0500 Lesley Christianson 7943 at http://hutchinsonleader.com
