Loved the way the music worked, with some clever twists to convey different meanings to some songs. All in all, I thought it was very well executed…artistic, as many have pointed out. But there is a very serious theme running through the entire film: Betrayal, and how we deal with it. At some point or other each character is betrayed and/or betrays another (or themselves). Jude’s father betrays his mother, Jude betrays his Liverpool girlfriend, etc., and of course, the U.S. government bretrays its citizens by sending their children off to a pointless war and radicals betray their own calls for peace by embracing violence and making bombs. Interesting to watch in any event. Cameo by Joe Cocker was way kewl…he still rocks.
