How was "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" originally supposed to be seen?

Question

I just went out to watch "Across the Universe" with my parents since my mom's a big Beatles fan and I have to say I'm a fan as well. The way the song "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" was portrayed in the movie was amazing in my opinion and it makes perfect sense. I was just wondering whether the song was originally supposed to be seen that way because I can't seem to look at it any other way. =\

In the movie "Across The Universe" (spoilers ahead for those of you who haven't seen it ><;; ), the song "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is played, showing Uncle Sam and his whole "I Want You!" thing going on... as for the "She's so heavy" lines, those go to the soldiers carrying the Statue of Liberty. Was this the song's original meaning or no? If not, what was the original meaning behind the song? O_o;; because I can't seem to see any other interpretation of the song's lyrics because the way it is portrayed in the movie makes SO much sense.

Answer 1

...I haven't had a chance to see "Across the Universe" yet, but from word of mouth (...especially here on Yahoo Answers), I am inclined to see it soon; as far as the film's portrayal of the hit Beatles' song, "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", and how applicable that portrayal is, in the film, it's got to be a whole hell of a lot better that how it was presented in the late '70's sticky, sickly sweet Beatles-based musical, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"...

...talk about ludicrously bad!!!
