That transition from ballroom to British rock band scene and rock sound!.. I love it.
Jesse Herrera
Loved it too! Genius! The ballroom scene showing America at it's innocence and Britain well, more mature is the word i think lol. The transition to British rock sounded bad ass too!

@Jesse Herrera Exactly. Shows you, that in the 60' rock music in USA was, well, it didn't exist, before the Brits invaded States
Arif Ansari
I have watched that transition 50 times and still gives me a thrill
Julia Beatlemaniac
It looked just like The Cavern, were The Beatles would perform in the early days.
Chris Thompson
Sadly on the album for the movie, its just Evan Rachel Wood singing the whole time and you don't get the switch between ballroom and grungy brit rock. Its just the ballroom version for the whole track. So you have to actually watch this scene to hear thia version

I love this. The same song in different genres, Rachel in preppy American suburbia completely in love with her high school sweetheart , Dude in British punkish scene slightly disinterested with his girlfriend, but while not making him be a bad person.
Great all around.
Jude
Jude is definitely a bad person lmao
kap_star
I just want a full version like the grungier one in the English club that Jude was in
Jesse Herrera
I agree! It's pretty bad ass!
