Paul McCartney Really Is Dead: The Last Testament of George Harrison (2010)

Utter garbage. Yeah, others called it a mockumentary. You couldn't even call it that. The fake George Harrison voice wasn't even close other than an English accent. The clues left are hilarious as is the outstretches from it. I lasted about an hour and had to put it bed for the total crap that was spilling. At least in a mockumentary you'd have some laughs. The only laughs here were the bad voice overs, bad reference. The only redeeming quality would be the TV excerpts that you may (or may not) have seen before on the rise of the fab four. To say Paul (or Faul) switched from playing right to left is ridiculous. Save yourself 1h30m and leave it alone. Just go and watch an old Beatles concert instead. Bloody Amercian theorists.....pffff. Go burn some more albums

My nephew who has become fascinated with conspiracy theories showed this to me...his only question was how could a right handed guitarist become so proficient playing left handed(seriously, he said that) Practically from the beginning of this DVD the poor documentation was evident:the voice of "George" was so bad they should have had a contest to find a better sound-alike. Time sequences were off regarding the last two albums,most of the backward messages were so implausible it was laughable, claiming Heather Mills was Rita though she was born until after the accident,etc. A comment from "George" about Ringo being stupid was so off the mark it was insulting.Supposedly, the tapes were made on a micro-cassette recorder in a hospital and yet, the sound quality could have only been obtained in a studio (and no background sounds were evident,virtually impossible in a hospital) They didn't even bother to claim evidence to verify the authenticity of either the voice of "George" or the pre-accident and post accident Paul using voice analysis(too damaging to their theory, I guess)

So terribly bad. there was obviously no research put in to it. the claim is that Paul died in 1966, but yet there were clues of his death on the rubber soul album, which was released in 1965. So now I am to believe that Paul is dead and the Beatles were psychic. the only reason I gave as high a score as a 2, was because it had footage of the Beatles, and i will watch anything with the Beatles. I even watched Backbeat more than once, and that was an American doing a bad Lennon impersonation. I also cant believe that I have to write ten lines to review this awful lot of rubbish. I did not like it. not one bit. and here is ten lines you should take as a warning that you should do something else before watching this "film".

Firstly, parts of this film contain quite offensive suggestions about The Beatles. However, these can be defended as part of the overall tone of the film and it invites you not take them seriously.This is clearly meant to be a joke, and it is a very funny one if you are watching the film correctly. The film showcases genuine conspiracy "evidence" at its core, but alters the story about The Beatles to make this evidence fit. What you are left with is how the Faul conspiracy theorists must then see the last four years of the band, and it is a laughable view.I found myself laughing out loud at the jumps in logic, especially the vicious attacks aimed at Paul after '66 (and poor Ringo as usual) - especially his use of drugs as if he was the only one who ever did any. I won't give any specifics but you will be shocked at the blatant disregard for facts, and that is exactly what the film is trying to get you to do.I can't award it any higher than 8 because it's not technically that well made. I don't think the tape idea was very good because rather than use excerpts with narration they have George basically narrating the whole thing as if he could see the film in his head when he recorded it. Saying that, it does add to the ridiculous nature of the film because the accent is AMAZINGLY BAD. I found myself laughing at the way the narrator said certain words and it must have been done badly on purpose. One of my personal highlights is the way he says Frank Sinatra. It also jumps from vague Liverpudlian, to cockney all the way to South African.In summary: You shouldn't watch this if you believe any of the conspiracy nonsense, you should watch it if you find yourself seeking out conspiracy theories in order to make yourself laugh. That's the audience for this thing and in my view it does it well.
