ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

Honestly, I have learnt  so much things with this film, like their songs, their steps all around the world, and the revolutions that they made. It’s an interesting film because we can appreciate the differents revolutions that changed the world, like the hippies movements where they defended the human rights, furthermore the love between the main characters.
