Three- hour biopic focused on Brian Wilson -the scenes with Manson wander off the point- the genius of the group :so ahead of his time ,his mates did not understand what he meant and what he wanted to do musically.It's a pity that the rivalry between him and the Beatles should only be skimmed over ;one sees a "rubber soul" cover and that's it.To think that at the time many of us thought that the Beatles were competing with the Stones !!"Rubber soul" "revolver" "good vibrations" "pet sounds" and "sgt pepper's show mutual influence(it's reportedly when he heard "she 's leaving home" that Wilson felt discouraged)Today MCCartney mentions "pet sounds" among his favorite records .Wilson's metamorphosis is depicted in the second part when he goes nuts .An omnipresent father and another fictive one (Phil Spector: in the scene when he directs the orchestral arrangement of " wouldn't it be nice" ,he acts like Spector he saw some years back) do not help.
One of the great qualities of this MTV work is to let us hear the Beach Boys' music :no dubs and many of their great tracks are featured. It stops circa 1974 when the BB enjoyed a come back with one of their compilations topping the charts.
