Movie Reviews of The U.S. vs. John Lennon
Movie Review: "All We Are Saying, Is Give Peace A Chance"
Summary: 4 Stars
....which seems to be the motto of "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" DVD. "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" is a cross between a documentary and a photo-journalistic expose. The pace/tempo of "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" is a bit on the slow side, but otherwise an interesting history of John Lennon's message of peace and nonviolent protest on the U.S.'s war in Vietnam through the use of various interviews of John Lennon, historical footage of other political figures at the time, as well as current interviews of many political figures/newscasters/entertainers of the time looking back at the events for this film. The U.S. government so feared John Lennon's message of peace, that the U.S. Government attempted to deport John Lennon back to England...... and was unsuccessful at doing so.
The slogan "Give Peace A Chance" is as relevant today as it was when John Lennon was alive. It would be nice to see all nations/people around the world coming together to make the world a less violent place to live.

Movie Review: Too Generic
Summary: 2 Stars
This would have been a much better film had it been edited to 60 minutes. The first 45 minutes could be cut from the film with no loss of informational content.
Movie Review: Should have been titled Lennon the peace activist
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is about the political activities of John Lennon during the late 1960s and 1970s in which he supported the peace movement. This included public speeches, demonstrations, and formation of friendships with activists such as Rubin, Seale, Hoffman, and others under the watch of the US Federal Government. As a result, the Lennon came under the close scrutiny of the Nixon administration. The latter tried to deport him but he fought and fought, and eventually won his case, ironically on the same day his son was born. The movie ends with his death in 1980. The feel of the movie is liberal, and subtly subjective. Numerous times the movie hints that the US government was out to get him, but only some evidence is provided. Records relating to illegal wiretaps should have been presented. Watching this show, one gets a good feel of the people active in that era of American history, but only some idea of Lennon's contest with the US government.Movie Review: U.S. vsJohn Lennon
