Research On My Chosen Idea

I have chosen to make a double page magazine spread on the film 'Nowhere Boy'. The reason I have chosen this is because it is a film I enjoy but also I will enjoy writing about it.The film it's self is based on the early life of music legend John Lennon. The film was made in 2009 and directed by Sam Taylor- Johnson. She has directed short films, these include, Love You More (2008), Destricted (2006) and Misfit (1996). Taylor- Johnson has won 5 BAFTA awards and nominated for 7. The main actors in the film are Aaron Johnson (John Lennon), Kristen Scott Thomas (Aunt Mimi), Anne- Marie Duff (Julia), Thomas Brodie- Sangster (Paul) and David Threlfall (Uncle George). The film is set in the late 1950's Liverpool where John Lennon is attending Quarry Bank High School; here he is rebellious and is very charming with the girls. The films shows a lot about the culture at that time and how the style is changing from Swing and Jazz to Rock 'n' Roll. The film has won 9 BAFTA awards and has been nominated 17 times. The was a huge hit.
