Nowhere Boy is a biopic about John Lennon's adolescence, the creation of his first band, The Quarrymen, and its evolution into The Beatles.The film received its US release on October 8, 2010, coinciding with that weekend's celebrations of the 70th anniversary of Lennon's birth (October 9, 1940).
The drama tells the story of Lennon's teenage years, 15-17 years old, and the start of his journey to becoming a successful musician. The movie also examines the impact on his early life and personality of the two dominant females in his childhood – his Aunt Mimi (Kristin Scott Thomas) and his mother, Julia.
The film was the directorial debut of conceptual artist/photographer Sam Taylor-Wood. Nowhere Boy was nominated for four British Academy Film Awards.

I believe that as soon as people want peace in the world they can have it. The only trouble is they are not aware they can get it.
