Biography

England

Liverpool

Jude works on ships in Liverpool and lives with his mother Martha. He decides to head to America to search for his father much to the dismay of his girlfriend Molly.

Jude singing "I've Just Seen A Face".

America

Princeton, New Jersey

Jude hitchhikes and arrives at Princeton University, where he meets his father Wes Huber. They converse, but Wes does not promise him a relationship or place to stay. Jude leaves and befriend Max, a student at Princeton. They sing "With a Little Help From My Friends" and then Max invites Jude over for Thanksgiving dinner. Jude meets Lucy and they all go bowling. Max then decides to leave for New York, and brings Jude.

New York City, New York

Max and Jude are able to stay at Sadie's appartment, with Max paying rent. When Lucy comes up to join them, Jude and Lucy start to develop feelings for each other. They discuss Daniel's death and eventually fall in love. But when Max goes to war and Lucy starts to join Paco in rallying against the war, while Jude's mind is more on his artwork. They argue, and later, Jude rudely bursts into Paco's office and sings "Revolution". Later, at the anti-war protest, Jude is beaten and arrested and sent back to England, where he finds Molly is now pregnant. After Max appears to him singing "Hey Jude", he returns to New York and joins in Sadie's rooftop concert. Lucy recognizes his voice and they see each other from the tops of the buildings.

Personality

Jude seems to have a rather sarcastic personality. He is also amusing and friendly, but quieter than his good friend Max. He is more relaxed and less concered about the war than Lucy, which is what ultimately causes their split. Jude is usually a polite and pleasant person and can also be caring, as he is shown giving Prudence a towel when she comes in from the bathroom window, and trying to help Lucy during the riot.

Relationships

Molly

Molly was Jude's girlfriend before he came to America. Despite how he seemed to treat her well, Molly was often suspicious of Jude, and jokingly called him a bastard. When Jude returns to Liverpool, Molly is pregnant by Jude's friend Phil Scully.

Lucy

Jude meets Lucy through Max. He starts to develop feelings for her when he, Lucy, and Max are bowling. Later in New York, they fall in love. They have a dispute over war, and later Jude has to move back to Liverpool. When he returns, they see each other again.

Max

Jude first meets Max when he is searching for his father. They get to know each other and sing "With a Little Help from My Friends". Max invites Jude back to his house for Thanksgiving and then they move to New York together. They remain good friends throughout the movie and Max is very excited when Jude returns from England.

Prudence

Jude is the first to notice Prudence when she comes in from the bathroom window. He gives her a towel and he, Max, and Sadie allow her to stay with them. When Prudence is hiding in the closet, Jude (with Lucy, Sadie and Max) sings "Dear Prudence" to her and they attend the street march. Later, when Jude returns to America, Prudence greets him.
