A documentary on the life of John Lennon, with a focus on the time in his life when he transformed from a musician into an antiwar activist.

2017 film by Alan Parker

Pop Britannia explores our flair for pop, our fascination with finding our own pop voice and our obsession with style and the imagery of empire and nationhood.
In the early 60s, British pop music ruled the world. Even America had to admit defeat. For the first time since the war, Britain was the best at something.
In 1963, Britain went pop. The architects of this revolution were a group of managers and producers - starmakers who turned the world upside down.
For the last 30 years British pop has been locked in a constant struggle between the forces of art and commerce. That struggle has both fuelled and crippled our pop artists.

Through stories and photographs, many never widely seen before, Give Peace a Chance will offer a chance to sit on the edge of the Bed-In, Suite 1742 at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal between May 26 and June 2, 1969.
John Lennon and Yoko Ono used their bed as a way to put themselves and their message in the center of a searing spotlight, demonstrating through their vulnerability and openness their unrelenting support for their beliefs. No celebrity couple had ever used their bed as a place of protest, nor had anyone before been so available in person and by telephone to the world.
“We’re going to sell peace the way other people sell soap,” Lennon said to a young, accomplished photographer on assignment for Life magazine, Gerry Deiter. Deiter was our eyes in that hotel room, the only photographer there for the entire eight days of the bed-in. He was determined to capture the essence of the scene--in particular the love between the newlyweds in many intimate moments. He also candidly caught the famous people who dropped in: Timothy Leary, Tommy Smothers, Dick Gregory, Al Capp, Murray the K and others.

1969年，14岁的披头士（The Beatles）乐队歌迷Jerry Levitan带着他的卷筒至卷筒磁带录音机来到多伦多约翰·列侬（John Lennon）下榻的旅馆说服他接受自己的采 访，主题是世界和平；38年后Jerry制作了这部《我见到了“海象”》讲述了他的那次经历。本片片名来自披头士（又译甲壳虫）的一首歌“I Am The Walrus”（我是海象）。
影片中用到了多种艺术表现形式，传统的手绘动画夹杂了电脑动画、真实素材等，从而使这段原音采访被全面视觉化，充满睿智。让人不禁联想起2005年获奖的加拿大动画短片瑞恩（Ryan）。

SINATRA: All or Nothing at All is an up-close and personal examination of the life, music and career of the legendary entertainer. Told in his own words from hours of archived interviews, along with commentary from those closest to him, the documentary weaves the music and images from Sinatra's life together with rarely seen footage of Sinatra's famous 1971 "Retirement Concert" in Los Angeles. The film's narrative is shaped by Sinatra's song choices for that concert, which Gibney interprets as the singer's personal guide through his own life.

The personal film archives of Yoko Ono were utilized for this feature-length documentary on the life of John Lennon. Predictably, it downplays Lennon's association with the Beatles and concentrates on his years with Ono. The film 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. The title of the documentary is, of course, taken from Lennon's idyllic ballad about a world free of hatred and discord. Imagine: John Lennon is a reverent but ultimately depressing chronicle of an artist who died the untimeliest of deaths.

1963年秋天，为了从红透半边天的甲壳虫身上赚笔钱，美国的United Artists和甲壳虫签约拍摄一部电影，目的是得以在美国推出电影的原声唱片。他们找到Walter Shenson做制片，Richard Lester导演，在1964年拍摄了电影A Hard Day's Night。
Shenson在1963年秋甲壳虫前往美国前与他们接触，要求他们为电影创作6首歌——题材不限，但要有两首抒情歌曲，两首快节奏的舞曲等等。在加勒比海度假期间，他们创作了八九首歌，Dick Lester从中选出了六首用于电影中，这些歌曲是：You Can't Do That、And I Love Her、I Should Have Known Better、Tell Me Why、If I Fell、I'm Happy Just to Dance with You。3月2日拍摄开始前，甲壳虫在伦敦EMI录音室里录制了这些歌曲。其中演奏You Can't Do That的部分在电影推出时被剪辑掉了，但之前就做为Can't Buy Me Love单曲的B面发行，也仍然出现在美国版的原声唱片上。
电影拍摄从3月2日开始，至4月24日结束。影片用夸张的手法描述甲壳虫一天的生活，其主题来自John Lennon说过的一句话。当Lester问John他们的瑞典之行如何时，John答道：“It was a room and a car and a car and a room and a room and a car.”这句话稍加变动后被用在电影里，变成了“Paul的爷爷”的台词。
Shenson原先以为他可以随便找一首新歌的歌名作为电影题目，但这六首新歌都不太合适。拍摄期间，大家绞尽脑汁为电影找一个合适的名字。最后有一天，John和他聊天时提起Ringo有趣的语言，并举出“A hard day's night”为例。John自己在刚出版的《In His Own Write》也曾经使用过这个短语。大家一致同意它可以作为电影题目。于是John按Shenson的嘱咐，以此为题创作了电影的主题歌，并在4月16日拍摄电影期间把它录制下来。
美国出版的电影原声唱片只包括这七首新歌，但为了Parlophone的英国唱片，他们在6月回到录音室，又录制了5首新歌: I'll Cry Instead、I'll be Back、Any Time At all、Things We Said Today和 When I Get Home。加上电影里使用的他们之前发行过的单曲Can't Buy Me Love，英国的专辑唱片里一共有13首歌，全部是甲壳虫的原创歌曲。这是他们第一次能够推出一张全部原创的专辑。
这一成就主要应归功于John Lennon当时旺盛的创作力。在这13首歌里，9首都是他主笔创作的。Paul主笔创作了3首歌，并和John合作为George创作了I'm Happy Just to Dance With You。当然，按照主创者主唱的原则，John在这张专辑中的主唱也远远超过其他三人，甚至没有给Ringo一个表现的机会。
A Hard Day's Night的电影成为摇滚电影的经典，教给整整一代年轻人反叛的原则，而这张专辑标志着甲壳虫的创作进入了一个新的阶段，我们可以把它叫做“早期阶段的中期”吧？

Also known as Walden, Jonas Mekas’s first diary film is a six-reel chronicle of his life in 1960s New York, interweaving moments with family, friends, lovers, and artistic idols. Blending everyday encounters with portraits of the avant-garde art scene, it forms an epic, personal meditation on community, creativity, and the passage of time.

The Beatles stormed through Europe's music scene in 1963, and, in 1964, they conquered America. Their groundbreaking world tours changed global youth culture forever and, arguably, invented mass entertainment as we know it today. All the while, the group were composing and recording a series of extraordinarily successful singles and albums. However the relentless pressure of such unprecedented fame, that in 1966 became uncontrollable turmoil, led to the decision to stop touring. In the ensuing years The Beatles were then free to focus on a series of albums that changed the face of recorded music.

A surreal, half-fiction, half real life footage of a day in the life of John lennon and Yoko Ono, composed to music from John's historic 'Imagine' album and Yoko's 'Fly'.

A documentary chronicling the Beatles' rehearsal sessions in January 1969 for their proposed "back to basics" album, "Get Back," later re-envisioned and released as "Let It Be."

1964-1966年是摇滚乐的文艺复兴时期，在本集中，我们看到英美摇滚乐团相互较劲的有趣历史。尤其是在1960年代英国摇滚乐团披头四（The Beatles），风潮从大西洋西岸的英国反扑至东岸的美国纽约，甚至蔓延至全世界。这四位来自利物浦的大男孩，从家乡的小酒馆变成全球少男少女的偶像。没想到四十年过去了，披头四的魅力至今仍未递减，反而成为全球重要的次文化现象。影片便从披头四的发迹史谈起，再为观众介绍英美两地摇滚乐团的不同，也为观众引介了像是滚石、史密斯飞船的摇滚乐团，比较两地之间的差异。
本集收录了1963年的披头四演唱片段、1965年的滚石合唱团演唱片段，及当时正值青春年少的Kinks及谁合唱团。海滩男孩回忆当年英国摇滚乐团如何激发了他们的创意。The Temptations、Supremes及Lovin Spoonful的演唱实况，重现摇滚乐那个创意勃发的年代。

The Beatles film has an obscure Asian cult that believes in human sacrifice after Ringo who has accidentally put on the victim's ceremonial ring. He is pursued by the cult, a pair of mad scientists, and a member of a side cult that no longer believes in human sacrifice, and the London police who are trying to help.

The biography of former Beatle, John Lennon—narrated by Lennon himself—with extensive material from Yoko Ono's personal collection, previously unseen footage from Lennon's private archives, and interviews with David Bowie, his first wife Cynthia, second wife Yoko Ono and sons Julian and Sean.

In 1962 an unknown group from Liverpool entered Abbey Road Studios to record their debut single. During the next eight years they created what is arguably regarded as the greatest collection of studio recordings of the 20th century.
This film charts The Beatles' extraordinary journey from Please Please Me to Abbey Road and reflects how they developed as musicians, matured as songwriters and created a body of work that sounds as fresh now as the time it was recorded.
Narrated entirely by John, Paul, George and Ringo and Sir George Martin, the documentary features rare footage and photos from The Beatles' archives and never heard before out-takes of music and studio chat from the Abbey Road recording sessions.
