I mentioned the meaning behind John Lennon's line in ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, "Jai Guru Deva Om", remember? Now I want to recommend an excellent new movie that has recently come out on DVD which bears the same name as this famous Lennon song that was featured in the "Let It Be" album. Many friends of mine who know that I am a Beatles nut were after me constantly to see it and I finally bought a copy today...and I LOVED it! Julie Taymor, the famed Broadway ("Lion King") and film director("Titus") did a marvelous job with her partner and collaborator, Elliot Goldenthal, incorporating the songs of the world's greatest pop group with a love story set in the turbulent times of the 60's. the covers are excellent and what I like especially about them was that special attention centered on the poetry of the lyrics as well as the contemporary setting of the music. there's even a finale on a rooftop a la "Let it Be" ! That was especially touching, so if you are a die-hard Beatles fan like me, this is a must-see treat for the eyes and ears. BKT
