![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I Am Brian Wilson tells the harrowing, heartbreaking story of the life of Brian-Beach Boys auteur and resident genius-which goes like this: Angel-headed boy from Hawthorne, California, at the dawn of the 1960s, smitten by the harmonic convergence of The Four Freshmen and the shimmering Spectorian grandeur of "Be My Baby," forms band with his two brothers and asshole cousin, calls it The Beach Boys and writes uber-catchy ditties of Zen-like simplicity about surfing, hot rods, and girls (despite being slapped deaf in his right ear by his sadistic tyrant of a father) boy becomes international pop star, boy has nervous breakdown and retires from touring and retreats to the studio where he gets into a pissing match with The Beatles and the race is on to get to the next level first boy takes LSD, boy blows mind, boy sees God, boy starts hearing strange and beautiful music in his head, boy plays the studio like an instrument, sings choirs of angels, creates music of overarching majesty, astonishing beauty and profound sadness, boy makes greatest pop album of all time ( Pet Sounds) and the greatest song of the 20th Century ("Good Vibrations"). ![]()
