I am not sure why it is so difficult for me to get past the fact that it is an actor playing the part of Lennon? When I see George C. Scott playing Patton I don't sit there the whole time and say "that's not fucking Patton its George C. Scott!" I wonder why they didn't cast Julian Lennon? he could certainly use the work after that one lousy song played out.
