I just watched a video of this on YouTube..it
was the "Fool On The Hill" from this movie..

This will sound stupid but oh well!!

Who is the Beatle (I think it's one of the Beatles!)
standing on the hill in the black coat???

I don't know why but the way he smiles
freaks me out--it's like he's not all
together there!!

It's like he's in a daze!!

Yes...a daze...That would be the acid, I should think.

Anyway, I think Paul was at his PEAK in this movie. Gads, I don't know what he was doing from '67 to '68 (other than coke), but he should have kept it up. Nice.

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.

some moment's of the song he does look like he's tripping pretty hard

Apparently, Paul was involved in filming as well as appearing for that scene and not surprised OP had trouble recognising him. Paul appears blurred as he chose the wrong lens to shoot the scene!

Its that man again!!

He would have only been about 25.

Paul, as he himself said in his autobiography, was never super into acid, although he tried several times. But he smoked weed everyday and sure hell he was super stoned all through this movie, especially in France when shooting "Fool on the Hill":

He's not in a daze, he's supposed to be a fool, a la "Fool on the Hill." Come on, use your brain.

Sure! But he was stoned. Ask Paul!"

Yes, stoned on pot, not acid.
