Lennon’s Youth
Paul McCartney had suggested Sam Taylor Wood to change some parts of a scenario of her movie “Nowhere Boy”, which tells a story about young John Lennon. As ConctactMusic said, sir Paul was not satisfied with the original image of Mary Smith or aunt Mimi who used to raise Lennon after his parents have divorced. Scenario depicts her as if she was a cold hearted mentor, but McCatney had explained that it’s totally not true. Mimi was not angry or harsh; she was way very well disciplined, but trully loved John. Eventually, Wood had produced a few steps back by changing scenario, and there is no doubt that McCartney was right. No matter what, he should be the authority over any director or producer who plans to make anything on John Lennon. Mary Smith was raising Lennon for five years and it’s well known that once she said that John would never make any money by being the fan of rock n’ roll and playing guitar. Right after The Beatles became extremely famous John had placed a nameplate on her house door that repeated these words. In the movie “Nowhere Boy” Lennon’s role is played by Aaron Johnson andseems to be quite allright.
