James Dean ref in BJW?

[mysteryboy]

In the video, at some point a white object is dangled on the upper left corner of the film. Freezing it reveals a Siamese Cat. Elizabeth Taylor gave Dean a pair of Siamese kittens. The cat makes a second appearance later on. During the sequence where they each take a turn playing the cello (bass) , a French Poodle is seen standing besides Ringo's left foot. I am fairly certain that Taylor loved poodles.
Interesting when you consider all of the car images George was displaying.
Apologies if this has been discussed before.
Happy belated New Year.

Yeah, ET is on the white album poster too, dancing with Ringo/Fingo.

The cars in the BJW video suggest a drag race like in James Dean's "Rebel" movie. GH's first band was called the Rebel Rousers.

The whole point about the cars was linking the fact that Dean died in a car crash and we're assuming McCartney did as well, or at the very least was IN a car crash....

This "cat" first appears projected onto Harrison's face. You don't really realize what exactly it is unless you freeze-frame it or watch a few times, or in slow motion. Then later on in the film, a PHOTOGRAPH of a SIAMESE CAT appears in the upper left hand corner of the screen for a second, TOPS.

Why the heck is there a photograph of a Siamese cat in the film at all? And why only for under a second? Why would you have to freeze the film in order to even realize that you had seen a Siamese cat? Obviously -- or should I say, not-so-obviously -- it is a clue.

James Dean was killed in a car accident. He died just after wrapping the filming of the movie "Giant" co-starring Elizabeth Taylor. Taylor befriended Dean and gifted him a Siamese cat (my mistake on the pair of kittens, my girlfriend was going from memory) and a horse shortly before his death. He left the cat with a friend the day before he died because he was going drag racing, which also happened to be in September.... hhmmmm...

I sincerely doubt George Harrison gave a rat's arse about the Rebel Rousers when he was making that very disturbing film that appears to be packed with clues; many of them quite disturbing.

Perhaps you are correct, perhaps when the torso appears in the BJW section of the film, we are supposed to think of Dean's drag racing leading to his death. However, there is still a damned Siamese cat in there and it is only for a second, TOPS -- READ: SUBLIMINALLY.

Also, there is nothing in the BJW section of the film to suggest drag racing. There is, however a van -- which you don't see unless you slow it down or freeze-frame it, and two other cars; one looking quite like a cab. (READ: "Death Cab for Cutie"). Though I will reiterate that James Dean died in a car crash and I think most everyone here agrees that Paul was in a car crash, THAT was my point, linking the fates of Dean and Paul. This film, particularly the BJW section has a plethora of clues that I won't delve into at this moment.

Thanks for your input and I'm sorry this particular clue has nothing to do with Hitler.

I know, I was just adding on the Rebel Without A Cause drag racing reference that had been mentioned in TKIN.

John Lennon/Charlie Brill refers to James Dean's car crahs and the rumors of him not being dead but in a severly disable state, in a 1969 radio interview on the subject of the Paul-Is-Dead rumors.

I'm not so sure that JPM was in a car crash.

There was, though, definitely a widely reported, photographed 1966 white car crash said to kill Tara Browne, with Suki Poitier unharmed.

Thanks Mysterboy, that may very well be a piece of the puzzle that was dumped on the floor, and scattered about. (seems to be the MO, much like Mr Kite)

Here's a link to the video I uploaded:

Now, like you said, it stays for a second, but that's still long enough for a few changes.. This one is really strange, looks like the cat and a face to George's left. (or is it part of the cat, I don't know)

Thanks for posting that, JoJo. Also, if you stop the video at 1:38, you'll see the photograph of the Siamese cat in the upper left hand corner. When watching at normal speed, it just looks like a white blob...

Also, I think that image to the left of George's face is his earlobe, but could be part of a bigger picture.

[JoJo]

Ah OK, I know what you mean now. I've gone through every frame of this video, didn't connect the cat overlay on George's face with the MMB cat until now. (so it's shown twice really) Hmm.

Turn me off, dead man, turn me off, dead man.....



This face is cold and blue. What is sticking out thru the eyes? Black poles?
There is a nose, a mouth, an ear.

Found after how many days?

Probably an "actor" in make-up with a camera trick or two; portrayal of a corpse head.
Which sounds like "horse head......."

Whiskers? Cat? Or Walrus?

Irish rhyming slang........i.e.Harry the Horse is Bury the Corpse.

Here's hoping.

[mysteryboy]

Anyone here know (about) Morse Code or have a clearer picture of those dashes and smaller dashes (dots) going across the top, starting on the left side? It's the one thing that never changes...

[fourthousandholes]

I see the blue face as being the spirit of someone.
And the round orb by the ear as being the Earth?
But I can't quite get what looks like a mooring mast for a ship on the blue guy's cheek.
I think it's earphones....He's wearing earphones.
And by the way, I do know morse code, but if that's what is shown at the top, the spacing isn't definitive
enough for me to make heads or tales of it.
It occurs to me that if the orb is Earth, then the blue face could be like a moon, and the "mooring posts"
an outcropping on the "lunar surface".
Paul sent into space again, I guess. Or held prisoner on the dark side of the moon, etc.

"You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal."

From Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone", which I occasionally think is addressed to Paul.
Paul's "diplomat" Faul here, perhaps.
So the blue face, Faul, with cat whiskers, "overshadowing" George, having stolen Paul's whole identity.
You're invisible now; you got no secrets to conceal.

So Paul now replaced, like a Rolling Stone[/color] was.
Gee...No wonder they'd want to replace Dylan; he knew too much.

We also agreed that the left side of the face on the screen was supposed to give the impression of a corpse's face, but it's so layered with other images, it's not so obvious, with the exception of the deathly blue color.

The "keyboard" George is playing on in the beginning of BJW has messed up keys -- the keys that are supposed to be white are black and the keys that are supposed to be black are white. In other words, REVERSE, or how X-Ray images look, or negatives of black and white REVERSAL film... Since he's "playing" an "instrument" with reversed keys, it could suggest to play the film backwards as well as the audio.

Also, when John is PLAYING the white cello (contrabass), he deliberately points the bow to the left of the screen, pointing BACK. He does this twice, perhaps to reinforce to go back or play it back or play it backwards... the BJW section is like A VISUAL REVOLUTION #9

Well I had to try it, I have piece of software that will process video backwards, haven't done it until now:

A couple of times it looks like George is even mouthing the words "Paul is bloody"!

[plastic paul]

He definitely says "He said 'get me out'"

[JoJo]

Interesting thing to try, and maybe I'll make one but.. Try playing the music forward while playing this backward video. (try to synch it just right) When Bill and John play the white bass violin (or whatever it is if I have that wrong)) the violins in the music match perfectly..

Thanks for posting it, JoJo. At exactly 2:55 to 2:59 he is lip-syncing "Paul is bloody" better than Brittany Spears. And it's only when you play it reversed.

This is pretty fascinating backwards. That face that appears after the 3 cat fades looks like someone in a neck cast to me. And it looks as though it has a walrus-tusk-like piece extending around the mouth. I heard fragments of a number of phrase that I can't be sure of. One was "sad to be the end" and then a cluster of stuff at the actual end (start?) one bit of which sounds like "killed him off the officer". Has there been any more examination of this?
