Plot:
It can hardly be a coincidence that this "deluxe edition" of John Lennon – Imagine should be issued in late 2005, a couple of months after what would have been the former Beatle's 65th birthday...( read more

MCT:May 13, 2008Great documentary, but can it truly be considered impartial if it is primarily composed of home video footage when he can control how he is portrayed? That scene where he confronts that dude in the garden was extremely engaging and seemed to tell alot about Lennon's character. But can we say for sure that he would have acted in that manor if the cameras weren't rolling. Still a fascinating character.

An excellent look at John Lennon's life from when he and Paul and George got together as the Beatles and through their career. Initiated by Yoko, but put into the hands of a popular documentary producer/director who wasn't even a big fan of the Beatles before the project but is now! This film was originally almost 12 hours with several cuts to make it within 2hrs. The special features are excellent, so watch these too! There is special care to make the film about John Lennon, using his own voice to tell his stroy, instead of making it a 'lovechild' film by Yoko. It interviews John's first wife and child, which I didn't even know about! and which says much about his youth, while also touching on his later years with Yoko and the nature of John's heart so that his messages could be understood. It seems like there is so much more that could have been included, but it was still summerized well with the documentary footage that was available. Really good!!

Excellent film that delves into John Lennon's strengths, flaws, struggles, convictions, and his struggle to remain true to those convictions even when the conservative media tried to lable him as insane for his unconventionl methods to promote a message of peace.
One of my favorite touching scenes in the film is when John confronts two stoned fans that are hanging out in the gardens of his home. The two individuals reveal that they have camped out in his garden because they believed his songs were speaking to them directly; John's peaceful and compassionate nature shows through when he calmly explains to the two that they are simply coming off a trip and that the Beatles songs are written to speak to everyone, and that everyone can find meaning in the music. When John has straightened out this confusion he asks the two squatters if they are hungry, and when they answer yes, he takes them inside where Yoko and himself serve them some breakfast. It ws a minor moment in the film, but I thought it was very touching. I mean, he could have called the cops and had them arrested for tresspassing; but his manner was calm and compassionate, and he even invited them in for breakfast because they were hungry. There are not many people who would respond to the tresspassers in this manner.
