Thanks for the welcome! I've been a lurker but never a poster . Though flawed, I felt this film was at least an attempt at taking PID seriously. There have been several other independent films that depict the traditional hoax narrative, but The Walrus is the first I've come across that takes an angle based on some semblance of reality. I felt the depiction of Paul was fairly close in spirit if not in physical attribute (ala Thomas Sangster in Nowhere Boy). Honestly, I'd rather have that than a perfect look-alike who fails to accurately translate Paul's personality. Granted, it seems the film takes a pretty optimistic view of its subject, or projects a certain innocence onto him. Whether or not the actual Paul was that way is debatable. The actor (whoever he is) did manage to smoothly mimic some of Paul's mannerisms at times, which I enjoyed. Interesting that John M. Hollback chose to cover the period leading up to the replacement. PID tends to focus on the aftermath, because that is where the evidence rests. What actually occurred before then is anybody's guess. About the only solid lead we have is the September 11th news announcement that a Beatle had been involved in a fatal car crash. I'm interested in knowing if Hollback intends on making a sequel? Thanks again for the welcome! IWas
