Nowhere Boy

I remember wanting to see this several months ago. I finally watched it this week, and I was definitely impressed. I know a lot about the Beatles history, probably too much. I read the Beatles’ Anthology a couple years ago. It’s 368 pages and one of the only books my father has read (he prefers to listen to Harry Potter on tape). So I knew the story of John and his mother, Julia, maybe a story that most people aren’t familiar with.
 It’s a lovely story that really stands alone apart from the Beatles’. In fact they never mention the Beatles in the movie (they do talk about their earlier band, The Quarrymen).
Half of the movie I’m plagued by the actor who plays Paul. I know I’ve seen him somewhere before. Lo and behold, he is the adorable Sam in Love Actually played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster.


And of course the fashion is pretty incredible, especially Julia’s. Here’s a modern take on Julia’s style.
