The English name of "Nowhere Boy" is a story about the youth of John Lennon, the lead singer of The Beatles. John Lennon is a famous singer and the soul of the Beatles. Many stories about him can be unearthed.
Outside of gossip, people know more or less what John Lennon is like. He is a child, a child who will never grow up. He is very sensitive and afraid of being hurt. The relationship between him and his parents is a serious one, and he is eager but undesirable. There are uncountable how many rock stars have a miserable boyhood. The same Paul McCartney lost his mother in childhood.
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.
This may seem ridiculous, but it really happened to Lennon. The two mothers were superimposed on Lennon at the same time, and it was obvious that he was confused. But for Lennon, a little gangster who is a little bohemian, squatting on the bus, smoking cigarettes, reading pornographic magazines, molesting when seeing girls, and boldly naked, if one day suddenly has self-awareness, he starts to find self-identity. At the time, you can imagine the pain in it. So some people will say that this movie seems to be about the song "mother".
This movie can actually focus on Lennon's boyhood, and this movie is destined to make me feel like a failure.
Lennon wandered in front of his biological mother and aunt. One was a mother who was fond of him, and the other was a strict aunt. Both gave him a lot. One is that his biological mother encourages him to realize his dream, and the other is that his aunt makes him wear glasses from time to time. This is a comparison. Although it was his aunt who gave Lennon the first guitar in his life, it was his mother who gave him access to rock and roll. In fact, Lennon has always been withdrawn. He wants someone to care about him and someone to pet him, so there will be Paul McCartney silently protecting him, and Yoko Ono will love him. He is a darling.
Paul, who is also an enemy and friend, not only corrected Lennon's mistakes in guitar playing skills, but also allowed Lennon to re-recognize the joy of rock and roll. And these portrayals are obviously not at all. I just skipped it lightly. As a genius like Lennon, he didn't give full play to him in this movie. And the biggest failure of this movie is that Lennon is always unreasonably worried, like melancholy boys, but in reality Lennon is not like this, but the big boyism who dares to love and hate. Compared with Paoer's delicateness, George is detached. , Ringo's freedom. Lennon can be an unfettered personality boy, which is also his unique charm.
The biggest flaw in the movie is the narrative structure of the movie. In the first half of the movie, various memories are interspersed from time to time, which makes people a little drowsy. It is good to intersperse memories, but too much interspersed and disgusting. This makes this movie a third-rate youth film, and it's almost a abortion. The soundtrack of this movie is also uncomfortable. If this movie is for people who don't know the Beatles, this movie can give these audiences some fun, yes, it is indeed very attractive. But for the Beatles fans, the only soundtrack for the film is Lennon's "mother", and there is no trace of the Beatles. They will be very disappointed.
These shortcomings of the film, there are also advantages to show, for example, there are a few Lennon crying scenes that make people heartbreak, and people feel positive energy in pursuing dreams. The climax of this movie was only after the death of Lennon's mother, and only this one.
For Beatles movies, their lives are full of colors, whether it is Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Stanell, they all show the best and most brilliant side of themselves. So we have to admire, this is why they are still immortal.
PS, recommend a movie about another member of the Beatles, but it is a documentary. George Harrison's "George Harrison. Living in the Material World", this documentary can more realistically restore George's inner world, a person who lives freely and is detached from death.
