’s Oedipus complex about John Lennon has been repeatedly mentioned. Not long ago, the British "Sun" also exposed a tape alleged to be Lennon. He blew himself up in it when he was 14 years old when he touched his biological mother Julia's breasts, and even imagined that he had a direct relationship with her mother; there was also a good psychologist analysis-"Lennon later chose the ugly Yoko Ono (Billene) Nong is 7 years older). In addition to music, she can help Lennon better than Cynthia (Lennon’s ex-wife, beautiful and charming). There is also a psychological factor, that is, Yoko evokes Lennon’s Oedipus complex, and Yoko is also like His mother treated Lennon the same way, which gave Lennon a great deal of comfort at the time. There is another even more magical proof. The 19-year-old handsome boy Aaron Johnson, after starring in the 42-year-old British artist Sam Taylor-Wood's Lennon biopic "Nowhere Boy", the two officially fell in love with a 23-year-old difference. And the woman is pregnant, and news of her engagement has been reported recently.
Apart from the gossip, the true story of John Lennon’s childhood and his relationship with his parents is a very serious matter. It’s already uncountable how many rock stars have miserable teenage years ("Nowhere Boy" is translated as "Nowhere Boy" in Mainland China, and Hong Kong and Taiwan is translated as "John Lennon Boyhood"), Jim Morrison, Ke Te Cobain, Paul McCartney, also lost his mother in the blooming season. Lennon was raised by his aunt Mimi at the age of 5. It was not until the death of his uncle 15 that he was able to recognize his biological mother, a red-haired woman. As far as I can remember, Lennon's real parents were split, and until he found a mother in the true sense, it was equivalent to the existence of two "factual" mothers, one who gave birth to him, and then left him at the age of 5; Raised him, but he can only be called Auntie all the time. It looks like a Qiong Yao drama on the surface, but for the party involved, a little gangster who is a little bohemian, who is on the bus, smokes, reads pornographic magazines, flirts with girls, and boldly exposes his naked body, if one day suddenly has self-consciousness When I started to find my self-identity, I could imagine the pain in it, so some people say that the whole film is actually telling the story of the song "Mother".
"Nowhere Boy" focuses on Lennon when he was 15-18 years old when he was born. (The title of the film is adapted from the Beatles song "Nowhere Man"), and is adapted from his half-sister Julia Baird Memoir "Imagine This: Growing Up With My Brother John Lennon" (screenwriter Matt Greenhalgh is the author of Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis' biographical film "Control"). This era is also in the self-germination period of rock music (so it must be said that Lennon was born at the right time, just in sync with rock music), swing jazz is popular, Elvis has just begun to go crazy, and his adoptive mother Mimi loves Tchaikovsky and Bach. Different, the birth mother Julia can be regarded as a loyal fan of swing music (or to some extent Lennon inherited the bohemian bohemianness of his birth mother). So although it was his aunt Mimi who bought Lennon's first guitar, it was his biological mother who really led Lennon on the road to rock and roll, and it was shown in the film that it was Julia who taught Lennon to play the banjo in the first place. In contrast to this, Mimi has been sternly reminding Lennon not to forget to wear glasses, but when he had a question, "Why didn't God let me be Elvis", Julia told him "God wants you to be John Lennon." Nong".
Meeting his biological mother allowed Lennon, who grew up in a relatively depressive family background, to find a paradise for self-liberation. Julia, who was unwilling to be lonely by nature, took him to Elvis movies, concerts, clubbing, singing and dancing, and Mimi got it. Knowing that his grades were too bad, he sold the guitar, so he directly asked Julia for money and bought it back. The mother and son lay on the sofa together and listened to Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You". Lennon's mind came up with the scene of having sex with his little girlfriend in the woods... But not only Julia and Mimi were fighting each other. There is also a rift between Julia and her current husband (the film portrays Lennon’s biological mother as a truly bohemian woman through the mouth of Mimi. It was her biological father who cheated and gave up Lennon when her husband went to sea, except for the two daughters of the current husband. Lennon also has a half-sister, Victoria), which is equivalent to the two families who are not pleased. The doubt is too far away from Sir Paul, but according to director Sam Taylor-Wood, including Aaron Johnson, it is to seek defamiliarization), this guy who is also an enemy and friend not only corrected Lennon’s guitar skills Mistakes, I also advise him to stay away from flesh and blood and try to write songs by himself. There is a part of the film where Lennon met Paul for the first time. He felt that this quiet and shy child was not like a rock and roll, but Paul pretended to say that what he was doing was not a mess, it was music. Or it can be said that Julia led Lennon on the road of rock, but his real enlightenment in music was Paul McCartney, who later became entangled with him.
When Lennon saw that his mother and Paul McCartney could also be very affectionate at the angry party Julia threw for himself (also in the recording exposed by The Sun, Lennon also directly admitted that he had broken the relationship with Paul), Aroused his sensitive and intense self-conflict, he began to frantically question his mother's own father, why his mother abandoned him back then, and why he now accepts him in turn, but he can't give him a complete family. And through Mimi's broken window paper, he understood where he came from and what happened to him living at eighteen years old. When his parents divorced at the age of 5, he obviously chose his father but was "stolen" by Mimi. If it was cruel to let a 5-year-old child make a choice back then, it was not a very festive thing to drop a mother from the sky at the age of 18. Especially for a greenish teenager who was born in a relatively dull environment and grew up in a relatively dreary environment with a severe lack of paternal love lingering around by the "childhood shadow" by nature. Following the setting of another Qiong Yao drama, Lennon, who was self-conscious, moved out of his aunt Mimi's home, and while going to college while running his own "Quarry Man" band (Quarry Man), the two old sisters, the biological mother and aunt, stood in a stalemate for more than a dozen. Nian finally reconciled. On a bright sunny day, Julia was hit by a car while crossing the road. Lennon was holding Paul McCartney in his arms after violently beating Paul McCartney: "I just started to understand her... …"
At the end, there is a very "Struggle" plot. Lennon is going to Hamburg, Germany to form Beatles. He asked Mimi for a birth certificate to apply for a passport. She needs to sign in the "Guardian or Parent" column. Mimi asked me what I am. Nong said: "It's all." At that moment, it was as vulgar as the air was stagnant. After dozens of seconds, Mimi stepped forward and hugged Lennon. Then he left his "home" in Liverpool without looking back. In "Nowhere Boy" Lennon and Paul can barely be seen as a pair of comparisons. Mimi and Julia are a clear pair of comparisons. Their respective destinies and attitudes towards Lennon are one that is just beginning to shine but quickly fades away. It has been gloomy for more than ten years and suddenly swept away the fog in the sky. There is also a hidden contrast between Julia and Lennon’s biological father, as well as Mimi and an uncle who exercises the responsibility of "Lennon’s biological father" to a certain extent. The relationship between these two couples is the most common family comparison. After Lennon returned to Mimi's house after being rejected by his wife Julia's current husband, he and Mimi were incompatible with each other, but when he saw Mimi going to visit the grave of his deceased husband, he went straight with him, letting him realize the "love" of husband and wife. Mimi, who has always been cold and rigid, is actually another way of living. There is no reason to say that listening to Tchaikovsky must be lower or advanced than listening to Elvis. But how much impact a broken family has on the growth of a child is really a very serious question. Kurt Cobain also wrote "Mom hates Dad, Dad hates Mom" on the bridge in Aberdeen when he was very young. When they grew up, they messed around and beaten up to self-pity, rebellion, despair, taming desire, and fighting the system. Not without a trace.
Let's just believe that Lennon reflected in "Nowhere Boy" is real, or at least partly real and logically real. When fate was eighteen, Lennon began to know his own mother, but at the same time he took away his mother again, and then after positioning himself, he found a mother for himself again. His mother-in-law took him to rock and roll, dreaming of surpassing Elvis Presley; the entanglement of his mother-in-law and aunt made him the lead singer of a second-rate rock band, knocking on the door of pop music; the death of his mother-in-law made him form Start a top-notch rock band, "It is more famous than Jesus". Then when he met Yoko Ono-he himself admitted that in the tenth year of Julia's death, Lennon, who had begun to talk about drugs and addicted to drugs, wrote another song "Julia"-a combination of Yoko and his mother. , And then he disbanded the Beatles, began to devote himself to avant-garde art and politics, taking nude photos (the famous photo taken by "Rolling Stone" magazine is said to be a direct projection of the Oedipus complex), engaging in bed sports, becoming a rock master, and packaging as a social activist Until he was shot. Before the age of eighteen, he was just an ordinary Liverpool boy, thrown everywhere on the street, "He has always been a wanderer, he is at home in the world, he is not for anyone, knows nothing, has no thoughts, and has no direction. Is it a bit like you and me?" ("Nowhere Men", I hope someone will take this subject seriously) After the age of eighteen, he will never lose his innocence after remodeling his self-positioning, "The dream is awake, I What more can I say, the dream has awakened, just yesterday. I used to be a dream weaver, but now I have been born again. Once I was a walrus, but now I am Lennon."
