      With music, there is emotion and soul

      John Lennon, an immortal music legend, what led him on this path to fame?
      Aside from the tangled kinship of the soap opera plot, the stark 1950s hippie rock was

      in fact an overwhelming choice of background music. Sexually stealing the limelight of aunt and mother's inner drama
      can not be said to be overwhelming, it just shows that the weight of "music" in this genius young and frivolous years
      came into contact with the play style of the early Beatles, the
      hearty...

      Mom, you are fucking rock n roll

      I can't write movie reviews, but I haven't written for a long time and want to talk.
      The thing that drives me crazy the most is that the "bang--" at the beginning of the film is not followed by A hard day's night. For that, 0 points for the soundtrack.


      The title comes from the movie where Mimi tells Lennon that his mother had abandoned marriage time and time again for the ridiculous "for company" and Lennon looked at her mother and said "Rock n roll, Mom." "It seems that the...

      It turns out that John Lennon's partner is Reiko Shimizu

      Last night, on a whim, Emma's mother drove us to the cinema ("What the hell is going on here all day, you have to socialize, girls!" Aunt Angela, we really don't want this, but it's so cold outside, we're already going to sleep with the fireplace Or cut down the Christmas tree for firewood = =), after watching the trailer that night, everyone decided to give up 3D Avatar and 007 Sherlock Holmes to switch to this film, why? Well, the main character is the German-controlled Emma (in two years in...

      I love you mom.

      The Oedipus complex is a generally recognized psychological content, and John Lennon's Oedipus complex must have long been generally recognized. At least after watching this film, the verifiable parts are very consistent.

      The beginning of the film is a dream full of fear of parting. According to Freud's theory, the strong jealousy of one parent can produce enough destructive power. Relationships have permanent distress and effects. Such dreams recurred throughout Lennon's upbringing,...

      I put spell on you

      If you like Beatles, you should watch this film. If you are not a fan of Beatles, you can also watch this film. The exquisite pictures and good old songs in the film will make people feel moved.

      In fact, I don't think biographies can be made attractive. After all, it is too sloppy to condense a person's life - even if it is only a short period of more than 30 years - in one or two hours. Always love to focus on how a person takes the road to success and reaches the top, or a certain...

      Although the song is to my taste, the male lead, Xiaoyingyin, is too cute, and the wallpaper can't make a five-star John Lennon, a person who knows no matter whether he is a meal or a rock. The interpretation here is too handsome and not what he imagined. The same (beetle powder do not...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The owner of the film distribution company, Weinstein, worked for the Apple Records branch of The Beatles. When he was 16 years old, he helped McCartney run errands to the airport to pick up Lennon.
    The first film released by Weinstein’s Miramax was the documentary "Rock Show" that Paul McCartney toured in 1980.
    The narration in the trailer of the film comes from Lennon himself, excerpted from his own....
