A person’s legendary life often affects one, two or several generations. John Lennon is such a person. He is familiar to us with his BEATLES, his brother, his love, and more. The important thing is his song. Yes, he is the father of rock and roll, and he is the soul of song.

The "Beatles" band was a symbol of the 1960s and 1970s. They symbolize fanaticism, pioneering, and sensitivity, as well as drug abuse and indulgence. But it is indisputable that they have influenced the thinking of generations.

I obviously can’t say that I grew up listening to John Lennon’s songs, but there is no doubt that his songs have traces in my life.

Today I watched a movie about John Lennon, "Nowhere boy". A young John Lennon tells how a talented and cynical youth can bear so many things that he shouldn’t suffer at his age. He was awakened by his childhood nightmares and his dreams of youth, and his loved ones again and again. Abandon (leave or die). No, my life does not have these, and it even makes me feel that it is too dramatic, my life is so perfect.

The bright rhythm, cheers and laughter at the beginning of the movie, as well as the two kids cycling fast, and the bright sway on their wheels, all attracted me too much. I saw it for the first time without reading any introduction. Movie, I don’t even know that this is a movie about a master.

Oh! do not want! I was still immersed in Tchaikovsky’s melodious melody, but in the laughter of John Lennon and his uncle, I saw the first death scene in the movie, and it was also the first funeral of John Lennon’s life. Uncle had no pain. , Leaving life happily, we didn't feel sad, we only felt sorry.

I think the only thing I have to watch when watching this movie is the one person I have to remember is Aunt MiMi. She can be said to be John Lennon’s Aunt MiMi, and even the world’s Aunt MiMi. Without her, John Lennon From raising an adult at the age of 5, we could not listen to beauty, without her selfless and fearless love for Lennon, we could not listen to miracles.

"Nowhere boy" brought the audience back to Liverpool in 1955, when Lennon was only 15 years old, a young man who was eager to experience and somewhat rebellious. Lennon is played by post-90s actor Aaron Johnson. His young and handsome appearance seems to make it difficult to associate with the original image-this is another dangerous move played by director Wood. What she shows in the film is The story of a young Lennon did not take place in the well-known "The Beatles Era". Using an irrelevant album title, the film is actually saying "Lennon grew up like this."

He has always been a wanderer, he will go wherever he goes, he is home from all corners of the world, no one for whom, no knowledge, no thought, no direction, is he a bit like you and me? ——"Nowhere Men" is

a movie with Lennon as the protagonist. In "Boys in Nowhere", music is also an indispensable part. The film is played with the opening music of the movie "One Night Orgy" starring the Beatles. The curtain opens and ends with the song "Mother" written by Lennon in 1970 for his deceased biological mother Julia. The title "Nowhere Boy" is a parody of the song "Nowhere Man" composed by Lennon in 1965. The original song was included in the Beatles' album "Rubber Soul", which is also the band's first. A song that has nothing to do with love. However, in the film, the appearance of these music that later made Lennon famous is more of a symbol of his growth.

The film has always been telling us clearly, growing up, rebellious, and the sillyness of young boys who are growing hormones. The big boy was not afraid of the world's censure. He and his friends were lying on the speeding double-decker bus and smoking. It was a pity that I only had to sit on the double-decker bus when I was lonely and look at the city scenery. It seemed that I was really not suitable for rock and roll. Looking at the hairstyle that was influenced by Elvis Presley, there was a smile at the corner of my mouth, but tears in my eyes. I just want to say that the father of rock and roll is also a mortal. When I was young, I would worship idols and be loved. Of people do unnecessary dressing.
Under the influence of his mother Julia, he initially showed his unique musical talent, so he announced to Aunt MiMi: "I want to form a rock band!" and met Paul McCarter, another member of the Beatles. Ni, found his kind in spirit.


We should be thankful that we have heard John Lennon’s song because we are just like him.

We should be thankful that we loved John Lennon’s song because he is just like us.

I shed tears, enough.


Well, if you don’t want to listen to me anymore, let’s show you the profile first... Watch the movie,

Nowhere Boy,






who is infinitely favored by his mother, has maintained his conqueror’s feelings throughout his life, that is, he has maintained confidence in success. In reality, it often succeeds. ——Floyd was

born into Lennon in a broken family. When he was a child, he was not cared by his biological mother, but was brought up by Aunt Mimi. Aunt Mimi is a decent person. She likes listening to Tchaikovsky and instilling elegant, middle-class values ​​in Lennon as a child. However, shortly after the beginning of the story, his biological mother Julia reappeared in his life. Unlike Aunt Mimi’s elegant taste, Julia is a loyal fan of "Howling Jay Hawkins" and she took Lennon to the cinema. Watching Elvis movies, she told him "Rock is a kind of sex", and he was deeply fascinated by her world.

In adolescence, Lennon re-established contact with his "incompetent" mother Julia, and at the same time he accidentally entered the destined music world. Lennon had a special Oedipus complex for Julia, but the reconnection between mother and child caused violent friction between birth mother and foster mother, and Lennon was caught between the two. In a sense, this film is not so much about the story of John Lennon as it is about the contest between two women. Sometimes you may even feel that Lennon has become a supporting role, and the real protagonist is him. 'S biological mother Julia and Aunt Mimi.

Through Lennon's immature perspective, in the rebellion and troubles of youth, this film by Sam Taylor Wood shows how the boy Lennon recognizes "love." What she tells is actually a story about love. Julia played by Ann-Marie Dove and Aunt Mimi played by Christine Scott Thomas, although they are full of irreconcilable contradictions, they both love Lennon in different ways. Just as he was about to start a new life, misfortune came suddenly.
