Imagine: John Lennon is a documentary film about former Beatle and English musician John Lennon. Bridging his two musical phases together as a member of The Beatles and as a solo artist, it is a career-spanning collection of Lennon's many musical highlights. In addition, there are a couple of heretofore unreleased recordings: an acoustic demo of "Real Love" taped in 1979 and a rehearsal take of "Imagine" in mid-1971. The personal film archives of Yoko Ono were utilized,it obviously downplays Lennon's association with the Beatles and concentrates on his years with Ono and a solo artist. It spends a lot of time recounting Lennon's anti-war activities, highlighted by a confrontation on a talk show hosted by conservative cartoonist Al Capp.But nevertheless,it is a worthy chronicle and with its wealth of stock footage and self- narration,this proved to be a must-see for any Beatles or Lennon fan.

John Lennon was a genius at his own right. His major talent as amusician and songwriter was his biggest contribution to the world, and when he died, he left behind a huge gap that can never be filled again. IMAGINE: JOHN LENNON shows the music star through the ages, as a kid in Liverpool, the rise and fall of the Beatles, his life with wife Yoko Ono, and to his untimely death. God rest this man's soul.

This documentary shows many great performances by John Lennon and many insider scenes. The scene when John invites the man looking for answers inside his mansion for a sandwich is a very sensitive moment. John shows that he is a genius and a very introspective person who knows his strengths and weaknesses. A must watch for all Beatles and Lennon fans and a very interesting look at a major celebrity of our time for the rest.
