In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message.

    Amazing. I was actually really impressed by his charisma, and his references to the French Revolution and the Communist Revolution were spot on. I'm definitely favoriting this.

    I like John Lennon, he really didn't set himself aside from non-celebrities, he realized that everyone is the same, famous or not. He was a real cool dude, i miss him lots.

    its great to hear John Lennon in a real conversation not what we have seen on the tv or internet. i think it was awesome that he stopped to tak to a 14 year old and talk about issues. what celeberity would do that?

    Couldn't hear it...but the visuals are something else. Don't approve of the kid giving himself TOP BILLING in his starring order-of-appearance credit, though. Ego strikes again.

    I think he's showing two sides of the spectrum. We all have love and compassion, and we all have hatred and violent tendancies.

  • What's the point in ...

    What's the point in talking shit. Promoting violence and calling him a burnt out old hippy. Life is life, and everyone has his own perspective. maybe you should stop critizing everyone elses and work on your own. Or maybe because you can't do that is the exact reason why you choose to talk shit. No-one is automatically an idiot just for smoking weed and no one is an automatic genius either. Life takes effort. Most aren't willing to put it in so they just add to the mindless disillusion. How fun

    What? Do you mean Britain? The one that colonized the middle east. The empire that the sun never went down on? The USA is the powerhouse of the world economy still. You are an idiot.
