Audience in Imagine

In the video, "Imagine" by John Lennon was intended for the skeptics of the Hippie Movement. It was meant for the people who criticized the movement for its radical beliefs. John Lennon uses certain phrases to shed light on the main ideas of the hippie movement. He uses phrases like, "Imagining all the people living in peace", "As we live as one", and "Imagine as one". These phrases shape the audience to perceive the Hippie Movement in a different way. The words he uses makes the movement more relatable to the skeptics. To some people, the Hippie Movement was looked as this crazy and wild movement where people just smoked weed and did drugs. John Lennon changes that image creates a different atmosphere. He shows the Hippie Movement being peaceful, loving, and an environment where people come to be filled with happiness. The video also helps to create this atmosphere but it showing this white house with him playing the piano and singing when his wife Yoko Ono sitting next to him. This image just reflected the message as being one and peaceful.
