[@RapidCityJM]

"Have you had a happy life?" "Very." "But not successful." "You just said 'very happy' that means successful." I remember that old quote from John... this hit so hard

[@slombo]

Yub Nub pretty sure he means the quote that goes something like this. “My mother always told me that happiness is the key to life. When I went to school and they asked me what I wanted to do with my life I wrote “be happy”. they told me I didn’t understand the assignment, I told them they didn’t understand life.”

[@cerberusmuzak]

wacky man except John never actually said that

[@cerberusmuzak]

:C o o l: except, he didn’t. Do the research

[@luxi1216]

Cerberus Muzak did my research, it is never stated in which occasion John said the quote, neither in which year. On the other hand, it is never said where te quote actually comes from. Yes, it is unlikely that John said the quote himself but until the real source of the quote is found, this will remain a John Lennon’s quote.

[@luxi1216]

Cerberus Muzak bruh really I literally searched for this quote and on every image and every website it was said that it was a John Lennon quote. I understand that you are certain that he didn’t say the quote, and I’m not saying he did, but unless you can track down the real origin of the quote it will still be attributed to John. It’s fairly simple, the quote is John’s until proven otherwise, much like a person is innocent until proven otherwise. I mean, if someone is killed you can’t send to prison a random guy just because there is no proof he didn’t commit the crime. In the same way, there is no proof to support the claim that Lennon actually said the quote but there also isn’t proof that he didn’t and that someone else did. The absence of proof proves nothing.

I don't know about that. I love his music, but from what I know of him, he didn't seem like a very nice person. Of course, if he had lived, he might have had the chance to change. So who knows? We can love what an artist has produced without loving them. It is tragic that his life was cut short. There's no denying that. But I'm sure not everyone wishes he was still here. :/

I love how John Lennon goes on a walk and talks about life with a weird stranger because that’s totally what he’d do in that scenario

[@matthewharper5387]

Very. Especially when you see him talking and trying to help and feed that young burned out hippie that showed up at his estate. He was John Lennon... he didn’t have to do that. But he did. As harsh as his personality was... that’s the John I imagine. And can we just give Yoko the respect she deserves please? The way she handled his death, the media, his band mates, and his legacy. If the John and Yoko thing never made sense to you, then you’ve never really been in love. I loved this scene, closest thing to closure we may ever get ✌🏻❤️

[@nina1522]

@@matthewharper5387 I remember seeing the clip of John talking to that young man. I remember feeling so sad for the guy, he seemed so sad and lost. As I recall, John was kind of stern with him, telling him not to look to others for the answers, that he (John) was just a person who happened to be famous and that he wasn't any wiser than anyone else, then he invited the man in and let him eat with them.

[@RaphaelAnthony]

Riiight? Aaaaand THEN ask for the guy's name 😅

[@LevCallahan]

It's what he'd do... but again, as age would definitely add a bit of sensical behavior to his already hippy-esque attitude of life, by the time of reaching 78, as much as he'd be open to talking to a complete stranger, he'd still (at the end) be like, "...but yeah mate you probably need some serious psychological help."

John Lennon’s death was the first celebrity death that ever actually affected me. When I heard the news, it hit me hard.

I wasn’t a Beatles superfan or even a John Lennon superfan, but I did love their music and most of his songs on “Double Fantasy” really resonated with me. His death just felt like an unimaginable loss, especially given his age and how he died.

My take on this scene is that when John was a kid his parents made him choose to live with his dad or his mom he initially chose his dad but ran to his mom when he saw her crying, maybe in this reality John stayed with his father instead and that’s why The Beatles never existed here plus it would explain why his accent sounds a bit different.

Secondly, it sends kind of a haunting message that John very well could have lived a full life had he never been a Beatle since it was his fame that was a primary motive of his killer. It just bring to life such an interesting conversation...

Anyone who has lost people feels this way. I lost my uncles, one 17 years ago, one 2 1/2, and I couldn't say goodbye to either; both died suddenly and lingered, brain-dead, in the hospital, and that's a grief that I don't think will ever leave me entirely; I'm overall a very happy person and that grief has increased my capacity for joy but it's always slightly bittersweet now. I loved both of them; they were my heroes, in their different ways, and had as much impact on who I am as anyone besides my immediate family, my grandmother, and my best friend. I lost 11 friends in 5 years. I miss them every day, and I'd give so much to be able to speak to them again. I know exactly what you mean. It's grief, and it's nearly universal; the older you are, of course, the more you're surrounded by it. My father lost all of his siblings, for example, the last one passing nearly 10 years ago. That's a level of heartache I don't ever want to experience, but if I live long enough, I will.

I remember watching this in the theater thinking "I bet they're probably going to get John in there somehow" but I still went "wowwww" when this scene came up. This was probably my favorite scene in the movie. Touching, a little awkward, but very well done.

I was expecting Paul or Ringo but this was better than one could imagine

When he opened the door...it really was John, imo. But,...it took me a while to connect who it was.

[@alanwestlake-hildebrand8811]

Rest in Peace John. I wish December 8th 1980 never happened. How better off would we all be.

Quotes from John Lennon - “ life is very short...and there’s no time for fussing and fighting, my friend “ “ When i was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happines was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what i wanted to be when I grew up, I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life.” This seems to summarize this scene well

[@williamkline6450]

Paul wrote that part

[@belindahudd2464]

I remember reading that quote of Johns . The teacher had it all wrong ..John knew what the key to life was at an early age , wiser than his teacher , he clearly listened to his mum and expressed that in his writings at school , sadly he was corrected on it ! A good teacher would have said “ wow”! What a great answer “ ....

[@lillyf973]

Dude you won at life right there. Hope you got the happiness you deserve😊

[@DanielSanchez-og4ox]

Here is another one: life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

[@captaincraig5016]

That quote about the teacher and a happy life wasn't actually said by John. It's a common misconception because a post was shared with that quote along with John's face. It's a very good lesson, but sadly not one we can attribute to a young Lennon's wisdom.

Am I the only one who had tears in his eyes when "John" answered the door?

[@geosb05]

Nope!

[@sentino68]

This small and strangely tender scene made the whole movie worthwhile and really rounded it out nicely...

[@georgeringopauljohn]

sentino68 I never want to watch it again. It upset me so much .

[@bryani2449]

It actually brought tears to my eye. Imagine if the world still had. John

When I saw this in the theatre, not knowing anything about this scene, it absolutely brought me to tears. They did it so well with how he was still interested in art and drawing. And when he says 'you made it to 78'- wow. One of my favorite scenes.

[@pallasathena1555]

I like how his boat is called imagine

[@damons2876]

Love the attention to detail - like the name of the upturned boat they sit on - 'Imagine' 🙂

[@paulself8698]

Hadn't spotted that!

[@nolagospeltracts8264]

But they paid absolutely no attention to the detail of Lennon's speaking voice.
