Imagine: Part 1
Yesterday in my class on the Beatles, we watched the documentary about John Lennon made by John and his Japanese artist wife, Yoko Ono. Throughout their years together, the couple definitely caused some major controversy whether it was their "sleep ins" instead of sit ins, or John's terrible parenting skills when it came to his first son. I think I might be the only one that thinks this, but I felt like it kind of made Lennon seem like an asshole. He was rude to fans and yes, he is THE John Lennon, but for such a public figure, he really let his fame go to his head in a bad way. Anyway, I thought it was very well made and showed a very personal side to John and Yoko's relationship. The clips were mostly from their own personal home movies, as almost a video blog which was interesting because I know that personally, I didn't really know about or understand their relationship and it was great to see it from their perspective and not that of the media. Interesting movie, worth seeing!
