I Met The Walrus



Uploaded by: imetthewalrus
Video Description:
In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message.

I'll agree with the Lennon is overrated part. But a dumb ass he is not. He's a very smart guy and I felt like I really learned a thing or two from listening to what John had to say. Brilliant animation.

This is an awesome vid, but in response to burntcanvas, Lennon doesn't need to be here. That was the point of him, peace is within us and it's us who need to promote it and live it. Just because he's gone doesn't mean his message is. If he were still here we'd have come up with some other equally as frail reason why we can't all be living in peace. I dunno bout you but I'm gonna piss for peace ;-)

Give me a break PsiResistance, America has ALL of the wealth and NONE of the population issues. People die getting here, not leaving. America's #1 for we represent the Democratic ideal. We're for the people and they get what they want here. Tony told us this world was ours, and the Bible told us this would make you sour.

ALL of the wealth NONE of the population issues? Democratic ideal? Overthrowing democratically elected governments around the world, supporting dictators, profiting from the death and suffering of countless innocent people, thats the US govt.; but of course you don't know anything about it and probably you are not even capable of understanding it. The US elite (not pawns like yourself) are master mind controllers.

the whole message john lennon portrayed was peace yet you people are arguing in comments about whether america is superior and who is best... if u really do like john lennon then make peace and quit it with the stupid arguments over the internet... everyone has a right to there own opinion let them have there own opinion and dont fight about it.

People listen to John... stop fighting this silly nero kid who is here to rile you up. Peace is right war is not. Show your children. Inform those who will listen. Turn your cheek to those with closed minds. I like Lil Wayne but referencing him in reality is nonsense and most people realize that. Clearly america is not OK and we need to make strides even in our own lands. Let's stop talking division and start talking unity and organization. peace.
