Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed inspired by Lennon
the Spanish movie selected for this year’s Oscars “Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed”. The movie is based on the true story of the teacher Juan Carrion, who traveled to Almeria to meet John Lennon, where he was filming “How I Won the War”. The meeting with Carrion inspired Lennon to include the lyrics of the Beatles songs on all records.
As I’m sure you know, the movie title, “Living is Easy With Eyes Closed”, comes from the second line in Lennon's song “Strawberry Fields Forever” which he wrote in Almeria during the filming.
We would really appreciate your help in letting Beatles fans know that the film will be released in February in the US. We would also like to come back to you later on with a link to the Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden sound track to the film, which the fans may like.
