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

It is a performances centric movie

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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

Having been a Beatles fan since 1966... and experiencing the 'Paul is dead' craze in real time, and now watching this video...1. I cannot say for sure, beyond a doubt, that the voice in this video is George Harrison's, beyond a doubt. 2. The story line and evidence is very disturbingly convincing that Paul really did die and that Sir Paul McCartney today is... Faul. 3. If Paul did indeed die, it is no longer a matter of simply broken hearts but rather, of the need of a national security state maintaining its cover. (The government and royalty would be embarrassed for knighting an impostor.) 4. If this is all true, there is only one genuine Beatle left; Ringo. He has already had two years since these tapes were released, to come clean. My guess is that he won't because... either the story is bogus or because he still lives in fear. 5. The church in Blackpool where Paul was supposedly buried, is (reportedly) known. State law prohibits the removal of a body from sanctified ground without a royal order.

This movie was a waste of my time, and I'm thankful I watched it on Netflix and didn't waste my money to rent it. First that they are tying to tell me it was George Harrison's voice narrating the entire movie is laughable. That is not a voice of someone who smoked for majority of their life. The notion that they are trying to wrap my head around the fact that they were able to get someone else to go through plastic surgery and play a huge game on EVERYONE for 35+ years is just disgusting. I am shocked that no one was sued for this movie coming out. I cannot believe that this was actually put out for the public to see. I can believe that someone was willing to get the procedures done to look like Paul McCartney, but amount of speech therapy can make someone have his voice when he sings, no one can force them to have the talent that Paul McCartney has. This is a horrible movie, a waste of time and just disgusting that someone would actually carry on with a rumor that started in 1969. No solid evidence except for 'pictures' .. has ANYONE taken into consideration what drug abuse will do to someones body? And stress, age and smoking?? No one in production of this awful project. Save your time and watch something else.

Okay, first of all, you're probably wondering why I rated this a 10 out of 10. The short answer is that it is undoubtedly one of the most thought-provoking films I have ever seen. No, NOT because of its profound analysis of something that is reliable... I am still trying to grasp everything that this film brought to light. (Thought- provoking, see?)The film is obviously very flawed in its information and makes plenty of factual errors that I won't bother to list... read the other reviews. However, as I was watching it, I realized these errors but I was so engrossed that I kept watching it. It made me want to believe the whole story about the "hospital tapes" of the obviously Fake George (We'll call him Forge) and really think that James Paul McCartney has been dead since 1966.That is one reason I am giving this movie a perfect score of ten. The Last Testament of George Harrison had me laughing with disbelief because I WANTED to believe it. It's hilarious, and the other reviewers are right to dub it a mockumentary. The film is very good at doing what it wants to do: weaving an intricate story (most of which I'd already heard) about a conspiracy and compacting it into a nice little gift- wrapped package for anyone who can understand how it exploits the original conspiracy. I sincerely hope that Sir Paul McCartney sees this. I'd love to see HIS reaction.This film mocks those who don't know a lot about the subject matter and who may actually believe what Forge says without any evidence about HIS credibility. I tend to think the factual errors were made on purpose. Why else would they be so glaringly obvious, while the rest of the film is well-made? Of course, that unearths paradoxes, creating the existence of a conspiracy within a conspiracy film... which is why this film is really so great. It pokes fun at conspiracies and exposées while being slick and subtle. This is first-rate entertainment. For those who rated it a one, I can see why, if you didn't take the time to enjoy the entertainment value. You all just misunderstood what this film is actually about and probably assumed it is a disgrace to the Beatles' legacy, which it isn't. Most will know that the Beatles were amused by their fans and the media and annoyed by them as well. (That's why they stopped touring... they got an overdose of fame and the bad consequences of it.) This film kind of shows this in a very indirect way. It sides with the Beatles, not against them. It's really siding against us, the viewers, who actually give a rat's ass about the Secret Life (and possibly Death) of a person we'll probably never meet or get to know, anyway. We'd have to care about Paul McCartney, a stranger, to watch it in the first place. The purpose of this "documentary" is to reflect everything bad about popular culture... It really has little to do with the Beatles. It's about the culture surrounding them and us, the viewers. Would Beatles fans REALLY have committed suicide at hearing the news of Paul's demise? Is the job of secret government agencies partly to protect the people from their own celebrity-worshiping mania? I tend to think that a widespread riot/panic would have occurred if Paul had died in 1966. Part of enjoying this film is exploring your own motives for idolizing people like the members of the Beatles. I was able to laugh at myself as well as the screaming girls chasing the Beatles everywhere they went. If you take the time to look past the surface, I'm sure you will enjoy watching The Last Testament of George Harrison and I recommend it to all Beatles fans. (It's currently instant on Netflix!) The so-called "evidence" is all speculation, but isn't that all that any conspiracy theory has to offer? Anyone can watch this: believers of the conspiracy, nonbelievers, and people who have no decided opinion, because it doesn't really try to convince you one way or another. It's a comedy, folks. The downside to this film is that some people are probably fooled by it, because it is quite convincing if you don't realize it's a parody and don't know the lovely Beatles sequence of events. However, there is nothing that should be done to change this because putting a "warning" (what you are about to see is all made up or unsubstantiated) on it would ruin the quality of the film, and the fun paradoxes would be gone. After all, who wouldn't like to hear Forge talk about Faul, Fohn and Fingo and create a new puzzle? The filmmakers have invented their own conspiracy with the creation of the Featles! I love this fantastic film!
