John Lennon compared Double Fantasy to Apocalypse Now. In addition, he compared it to the soap opera Dallas. Notably, the album in question includes three of the famous tracks from his solo career.

The book All We Are Saying: The Last Major Interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono contains an interview from 1980. In it, John discussed his album Double Fantasy at length. For context, Double Fantasy is a collaboration between himself and Yoko, and both stars take the mic at different points in the record. He was asked if the album was very autobiographical.

“If you ask me that next year, I might have a different answer, but now I’ll say that it is completely autobiographical,” he said. “It’s about us over the last five or six years.”
