This movie is very cool. You have to listen closely to what people say in the movie and you will learn cool stuff, first hand. This movie shows the great Phil Spector doing his thing. It rates a 10 stars just for being able to see this man at work on this no 1 album in 1971, also voted 80th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. This genius of a man who we have recently destroyed and stomped on like a bug; really shins in this movie. He died January 16, 2021 in a prison toilet bowl hole of COVID-19, I blame the right wing, perverted, Nazi like, conspiracy driven legal system for that. Like the Imagine song goes: All I want is the truth Just give me some truth.
I love the way John handles the obviously very mentally unstable young man who makes it past security to his house. Again you have to listen. The man insists that John Lennon's music and songs are written especially for him. (This seems to be a prevalent problem with music today amongst many of our youngest and brightest.) He reaches out to him and even invites him inside for some food. John was a phenomenal, almost saint like; human being. This entire world would be better if he was still alive. (another reason to watch this movie)
Also Andy Warhol makes a appearance in the film. I really like the scene with George Harrison and John; you could see that friendship they had from the Beatles days come to life on film. They have this conversation while eating breakfast that looks really serious between them. I loved that look John had of excitement in what he was saying; like it meant something to the world. A true artist always has this with them. Also in the movie John mentions the Crippled Inside song and John uses this southern accent to sing the song. When he describes the song he had that look in his eye again. I think even the small Crippled Inside song had a huge amount of meaning to John as not only a artist but a activist.
Reality sometimes makes people uncomfortable. John Lennon tried to help people see the truth of reality and bring us all together; to work together and end war. He was way ahead of his time; maybe ahead of the time left for planet earth, as we know it. That never made John wrong; just truthfully unique in his love for mankind. People were excited about his ability to speak beyond the norms. What is a normal and kind love for all the earth? Is there a normal human limit for love; for the human race? John wanted unity and an end to war, if it were possible; who would disagree with that? Who would say; that it is not normal for our empathetic and brightest people like John Lennon, to try to stop suffering?
I almost forgot the whole reason I wrote this review. My mom had mentioned in a email that my favorite Uncle, Uncle Bill had been over her house recently. My Uncle Bill was always my favorite relative on my mom's side of the family. We used to talk about music together. He gave me the Imagine Album on my 11th birthday.
