Widely regarded as one of the first album-based longform music films, Imagine was a ground-breaking movie featuring a distinct visual treatment for every song, interspersed with occasional slices of Lennon and Ono's life together and improvised fantasy and comedy sequences featuring John and Yoko, Fred Astaire, Dick Cavett, Miles Davis, George Harrison, Jack Nicholson, Jack Palance, Dan Richter, Andy Warhol and others.
Lennon said of the improvised nature of the film at the time, "The one we're making now is very loose; they just bring the camera every day and we just decide what to do that day."
Ono said of the now-famous film for the song "Imagine", "It just happened naturally. I was well aware of the symbolism of everything – closing and then opening the shutters to let the light in. It's rather personal, but I had a definite reason why I smiled at the end, in addition to loving being next to John."

Lennon talking about their film-making together, said, "Yoko's quite adept in film-making and she'd made quite a few films before I'd met her. I used to make 8mm films at home and superimpose and do tricks with it and just play arbitrary records with it. But when I met Yoko she said, 'Well why don't you do it seriously?' So she sort of helped me to develop in that area and I find it's very similar to recording, just visual. And it's beautiful to work with. When we did Imagine, we felt great about it, and were saying, 'This is going to widen the field of film! This is it! This is the seventies! We started off...we were going to do a few clips and we ended up filming every song on the album and a few from Yoko's album too, and we ended up with a seventy-minute film. It only has two words in it: "Good morning". And all the rest is music. So it's like a musical. It's fairly wild and we made it up as we went along."
On the creative process and the film for the song "Jealous Guy", Ono said, "We enjoyed making films together. John came up with big ideas, or ideas that seemed big to me at the time. He thought of using a helicopter, which added a new dimension to our film. When John first said, 'Let's use a helicopter', I – who was supposed to have sold out in a big way – thought, 'Oh dear, aren't we getting a bit Hollywood?' The result was that beautiful scene in 'Jealous Guy'. There was nothing so-called 'Hollywood' about that."
Of the final scene in the film, Ono said, "John was the most romantic man I ever encountered. We were on South Beach on Staten Island. 'Let's really upset them and end the film with us walking on water.' (I'll let you guess whose idea that was!) We tried – that is, I know it looked a bit awkward, but it was a windy day and the waves were rough. Anyway, what you see is what you get. Enjoy."
Speaking in 2018, Ono said of the film, "The people who all worked on Imagine were Peace People and it was so enlightening and exciting all the way through to be one of them. Remember, each one of us has the power to change the world."
