Across the universe

Febbraio 4th, 2008 at 3:27 pm (svago)

“Across the universe” è la canzone dei Beatles che oggi (o meglio domani alle 01:00) la NASA trasmetterà nel cosmo per celebrare i cinquant’anni della fondazione. La canzone sarà “sparata” da una gigantesca antenna piazzata a Madrid, in direzione della stella polare, a 431 anni luce dalla Terra, dove l’eventuale pubblico potrà ascoltarla (tra 431 anni) solo grazie ad uno speciale decoder. La Apple Records è soddisfatta dell’idea in quanto (immagino ironicamente) ha dichiarato di essere sempre alla ricerca di nuovi mercati.

E “Across the universe” è il film-musical che, utilizzando come filo conduttore 33 canzoni dei Beatles (interpretate dagli stessi attori del film, Bono Vox e Joe Cocker compresi), racconta una storia d’amore tra Jude e Lucy, ambientata negli anni sessanta: gli anni turbolenti della protesta pacifista , dell’esplorazione mentale e del rock ‘n roll. La trama del film si intreccia con le canzoni dei Beatles ed i loro personaggi: oltre a Jude e Lucy (i due protagonisti) c’è Prudence che fa la sua comparsa entrando dalla finestra di un bagno (chiaro riferimento a “She came into the bathroom window”), c’è il Doctor Robert (impersonato da Bono Vox che canta la psichedelica “I’m the walrus”), c’è Max il fratello di Lucy (il suo armeggiare con un martello è un chiaro riferimento a “Maxwell’s silver hammer”), Molly (la ragazza di Liverpool che Jude lascia per andare negli States alla ricerca del padre), Rita (la contorsionista nel video di Mr.Kyte) , c’è Sadie e Jo Jo che insieme cantano “Don’t let me down” (il loro concerto sul tetto è un evidente riferimento al concerto sul tetto della Apple degli stessi Beatles, concerto che mise la parola fine al gruppo e del quale esistono innumerevoli bootlegs) e c’è anche Mr.Kyte e i suoi personaggi circensi. Joe Cocker è il barbone che nei meandri della metropolitana esegue “Come together”.

Il film non è più in programmazione ma a giorni dovrebbe uscire in dvd. Non è l’unico film dove le canzoni dei Beatles si intrecciano con la trama, nel 2001 uscì infatti “Mi chiamo Sam”, dove Sam (interpretato da Sean Penn), un padre affetto da malformazioni mentali, lotta per evitare che gli venga portata via la figlia Lucy. Anche in questo caso le canzoni dei Beatles erano state interpretate da altri artisti (tra cui Ben Harper e Sheryl Crow). Vi lascio proponendovi non solo il trailer di “Across the universe” ma anche la performance del Doctor Robert (Bono Vox) e del divertente Mr.Kyte.

Una curiosità: la canzone “Across the universe” uscì inizialmente all’interno di un LP dal titolo “No one’s gonna change our world” i cui proventi furono destinati al WWF, per essere poi successivamente inserita (con un mix differente) all’interno dell’album Let it be.
