Josh Raskin - I Met The Walrus

After watching the Rotten Tomatoes TV show on Current TV the other day I forgot to change the channel when it was finished and this video came one. By the end of it I was misty eyed. What a moving, sweet and evocative work of art this is. Fourteen year old Josh Raskin's interview with John Lennon is basically a treatise on whom to trust and rely upon on life's treacherous journey in times of war, the meaning of music and art in one's culture and working for peace by working on your self. The animations are flowing, evocative and perfectly synchronized to the conversation. In total this short video is a brilliant and genuine diamond in a sea of rhinestones.
