Most people at one point in their life have had some sort of Beatles obsession. Even if it's not with the music. For a while I was obsessed with the views of John Lennon, I used to spend hours browsing youtube for old john lennon interviews and footage.
This is one of my favourite videos I've found and the animation that goes with it is pretty awesome too.
The story behind the video is:
"In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message."
Give me some of your views on Lennons thoughts
