John Lennon's guilt
I am a big fan of Stephen Dorff. He is so beautiful male actor. His eyes are so sensitive and sharp. I saw this movie because he is in.
However I started watching it then my eyes are going to Ian Hart who plays John Lennon. In the end, I almost forgot about Stephen was there.
Ian Hart had done a gread job, I think. He acted very well of young Lennon's potential charisma, confusing, and uncontrolled great passion to music and friends.
Needless to say, This movie is about Stuart Sutcliffe who is a member of Beatles in the begining and short time but influenced very much on their fashon and appearance. He is also a very talented painter. But John Lennon is such a great icon that seemed to make anything go away except him.
When the movie ended what remained in my mind was that Lennon's guilt. How he had been feeling with his best friend and his future. Actually accoring to his biography he had been feeling a guilt to Stuart's death. I realized that how Lennon was a huge human being that may cause his death, even though I don't like very much the Beatles' sound.
The "Fifth Beatle"?
There are a few films I watch over and over again -- not to look for anything new....just to enjoy it one more time. This is one of them [Hairspray being another, by the way]! You totally empathsize with each of the characters as they face the major decsions -- the turning points in their lives: from Lennon's choice for the "group" to let Stu go...to Klaus's choice to acknowledge the reality of Astrid's decision. Wrenching.....!
