9/10
Almost Perfect

Warning: Spoilers
I am not a researcher of Beatle trivia. I am old enough to remember their debut, and I love them and their music, but I couldn't give you dates or data about their recordings, don't know their birthdays, and never played an album backwards. That said, I couldn't help but be astounded by the plethora of symbols and innuendos that overwhelmingly point to Paul's death and a cover up. It goes way beyond coincidence! One or two symbols or rumors, okay.. but this goes deep and went on and on for years!

It was only when I got to the one and a half hour point in the documentary (and yes, this was a documentary until the backlash forced the producers to re-classify it a "mockumentary") that I knew it was contrived: Heather Mills could not have been "Rita", the cause of the "accident" – she did not yet exist at the time!!

Later, I read that Rubber Soul came out in 1965, which meant that the reason here for the name Rubber Soul (in lieu of "Rubber Paul", based on Paul's supposed death) could not have been true, since the "death" was to have occurred in 1966.

Another falsehood in this film is when you hear George, in an interview, refer to Paul as "Faul", not once, but twice. I read that in the real interview he clearly said "Paul", so this was dubbed for the sake of this documentary. Too bad, because I can't help but think that there might be something to this theory, now scoffed at because of the lies in this docu-mocku-mentary. There are just too many symbols, lyrics, etc, to be nothing more than an elaborate game the boys were playing. If it was a game, it dragged on too long. In photo after photo and album after album Paul is intentionally set apart from the other Beatles. I'm sure these performers considered themselves artists. I don't buy that they spent all that time and effort turning their entire careers into a "Paul is dead" game just for the sake of a little joke and some publicity.

I have to wonder if this video is for the purpose of being a red herring? No one would go through the trouble of creating this elaborate exposé, only to throw in some obvious fakes that could be disproved in a moment, such as that Heather Mills, who wasn't even born yet in 1966, could have been the cause of the accident. Surely the guy who put together this nearly 2-hour long, detailed documentary, could not be that stupid. Of course, if he created, or was convinced to create this for the sole purpose of discrediting the entire "Paul is Dead" discussion .... it's a resounding success!
