This song in "Across the Universe" uses movement as a key element to show certain emotions evoked in the injured soldier, Max. Before that, Jude is reunited with his previous girlfriend in Liverpool. This scene is shot using medium shots to keep a distance between the two, highlighting how long they have been apart, with no close up intimacy that they had before. There is also an action/reaction shot when his ex reveals her new boyfriend, and that camera cuts to Jude's face, which is hiding his surprised expression. Next, Max and his fellow injured or dead soldiers participate in the song "Happiness is a warm gun". This whole song is using a leftward moving camera and a pullback dolly, to give the viewer the same feeling that the injured men are feeling, confused and dizzy because of all the drugs, along with some PTSD they are all experiencing.
