Synopsis

After background about the childhood and youth of John Lennon (1940-1980) and the birth of Vietnam-War protests, the film plunges into Lennon's quest for world peace: compositions such as "Give Peace a Chance", the lie-in following his marriage to Yoko Ono, appearances at concerts, "War Is Over" posters, and plans for a series of concerts in 1972 in U.S. presidential primary states reach newly-enfranchised young voters. This plan for concerts, in particular, led a prominent Senator, the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover, and Nixon's White House to initiate a concerted and illegal effort to deport Lennon. Thirty talking heads, led by Yoko, comment on Lennon and these events.

User reviews

Joshua Wilson

7/10

The soundtrack effectively complements the visuals, creating a powerful and immersive experience that transports the audience back to the turbulent times of the Vietnam War protests and Lennon's pursuit of peace.

Daniel Thompson

3/10

Despite the film's focus on Lennon's quest for world peace and the political persecution he faced, the soundtrack lacks cohesion and fails to establish a strong emotional connection with the audience. The music feels like background noise rather than a driving force that elevates the storytelling, leaving a disconnect between the viewer and the historical events being portrayed.

Steven Martinez

7/10

The incorporation of actual recordings of Lennon's live performances and interviews in the soundtrack provides a unique insight into his personality and beliefs, making the music feel even more poignant.

The soundtrack of The U.S. vs. John Lennon perfectly captures the spirit of the era with iconic songs like Give Peace a Chance that resonate with the themes of peace and activism.

Paul Campbell

3/10

The soundtrack of The U.S. vs. John Lennon fails to capture the emotional depth and impact of Lennon's music during the Vietnam War era. The songs like Give Peace a Chance and War Is Over feel lackluster and uninspired, missing the rebellious and revolutionary spirit that defined Lennon's activism.

Emily Davis

6/10

The use of John Lennon's own compositions in the film's soundtrack adds a layer of authenticity and emotional depth. Hearing his music in the context of his quest for peace and the challenges he faced from the government creates a powerful connection between the audience and the historical events depicted.

Elizabeth Adams

1/10

The choice of musical arrangements in the film's soundtrack often feels mismatched with the historical context and significance of Lennon's work. The jarring juxtaposition of upbeat melodies with the serious themes of war and political activism detracts from the overall authenticity and power of the narrative.

Michael Martin

5/10

The soundtrack of The U.S. vs. John Lennon not only complements the narrative but also serves as a poignant reminder of Lennon's enduring legacy as a musician and peace advocate. The songs, combined with the commentary from various interviewees, help paint a comprehensive picture of Lennon's influence on politics and culture during that period.
