In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced him to do an interview. 38
years later, Levitan, director Josh Raskin and illustrators James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina have collaborated to create an animated short film using
the original interview recording as the soundtrack. A spellbinding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit and timeless message, I Met the Walrus was
nominated for the 2008 Academy Award for Animated Short and won the 2009 Emmy for 'New Approaches' (making it the first film to win an Emmy on
behalf of the internet).
well i knew he was an activist, but a lot of what he says, matches what a lot of us think.
i always dismissed John Lennon out of hand as a hippy, but what he says here about the establishment really struck a chord.
what do you think?
while i dont believe in non violent revolution, he clearly did, and said some really great things.
