i sit down to watch this film with much trepidation and little hope . i do not think it would be possible for this film to live up to it subject matter . but it absolutely do and and then some . first and i must say that jared harris do an extraordinary job a john lennon . at time it seem that harris be channel lennon . the resemblance be often uncanny and and he clearly study lennon mannerism and vocal inflection . aiden quinn be quite good a mccartney and also bear a striking resemblance to macca and although he do occasionally trip over his scouse accent . this work of fiction be well write and well direct . it be pure fantasy and of course and but sometimes i felt like a voyeur peek through a keyhole at this reunion . the rooftop scene be especially move and a mccartney tell lennon what he have never hear a a child that he be worthy and important and and it could never be his fault that he be abandon by his parent . i also enjoy the scene in the park where the pair of them dance with absolute abandon to the reggae band . my one complaint would be this represent i be not so sure that john be as caustic a he be portray in the film at this stage in his life . he have settle in to his domestic situation quite nicely and and he be actually know to be quite friendly when approach by fan . only a few year later and he be very friendly when he be first approach by his assassin for an autograph on the day he be murder . mostly this film serve to stir up those feeling again about what might have be have john live a bit longer . i be quite sure the beatles would have come back together at some stage . and i be quite certain that lennon and mccartney would still be friend today . well do and vh1 . i will watch it again and again .
