Recently I saw the movie “Nowhere Boy” (official web site). It’s about the early years of John Lennon, specifically the teen years. Yes, before the Beatles were even a real group. The movie delves into John’s relationship with his aunt Mimi (who raised him) and also his mother who left him when he was a child. His hurt, anger, and confusion are real and justifiable and the film doesn’t sugar-coat those qualities, but his charm and sense of humor shine through it all. Take a look at the trailer for the movie below:
I would recommend this movie to anyone who is a Beatles fan and maybe even if not. The critics at Rotten Tomatoes give it a very high rating. Have you seen it? What did you think?
