Not the Wall, but claims This film can be interesting only to those who have never heard of Beatles songs or vice versa to those who know about the “Liverpool Four” all or almost all and remember exactly how this or that passage sounded in the original.
It is clear that the same reproach can be thrown at all any musical made based on the songs of one famous artist, the same musical Mamma Mia. But “through the universe” in contrast to most of his fellow genre does not want only to follow a primitive plot and claims to some conceptuality and abstraction. In other words, the director already sees himself in the chair of Alan Parker, which means the musical is struggling on the field of the “Wall” itself, and on such a swing, it can not be enough and now borrowings from the film of the founder are already underway. But in this case, you need to compete with the clip of the early 90s on “Hurambu Rum” “Noga brought” and then “Beatles” is of course more interesting. However, it is unlikely that the director dreamed of such comparisons by inviting in his film generally good actors.
