I Met The Walrus

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.

Right up there with Carl Sagan, Lennon is another one of my atheist guru/prophets.

A few years ago, BBC Two had a contest about the "Greatest Briton", with a famous presenter defending their choice for the person they thought deserved the honour in a special on that person (Jeremy Clarkson argued for Isambard Brunel, the great industrialist).

Alan Davies did his special on John Lennon. It was so sweet, I still get choked up thinking about it. One of the best docus I`ve seen on Lennon, ever.

I can`t get over the balls this kid has to, at 14, find his way into to John Lennon`s hotel room and do a full, intelligent interview with him.

You won`t find any 14 year old like this today.
