Quotes
Don Was: These needs aren't filled by success- that you can accumulate all this bread - that you can have people fill up stadiums every night to see ya, and you still wake up in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror, and hate yourself as much as you did when you were starving.

The great Brian Wilson

Archival footage, the Beach Boys music and 1997 interview soundbites, make an interesting look at Brian Wilson and his creative process. We get some history of the music scene and what was going on in society at the time.

The well-known connection to Charles Manson feels like it's brought in as pure exploitation. It's another of those cheezy attempts to show some connection or inevitability of a progression from the counterculture to evil. Fortunately that's only a small part of the film at the end. It's worth watching for the historical Beach Boys footage, the interviews with Brian Wilson, and musicians and producers who were around the Beach Boys back when.
