Mike Love
for Mike Love in Smile: The Life of Brain Wilson
Suggested by captainwhaddock
Brian Wilson is one of the most fascinating figures in music history, and it is no surprise that every film about the Beach Boys has inevitably focused more on him than any of the other members. Love and Mercy gave us a very good portrait of the man, but somehow, I don't feel that's enough. Brian Wilson did so much for music, and yet no one really knows about him. So much of his work is groundbreaking, even by today's standards. When you listen to it, it makes you feel like you're in the room with the Beach Boys as they're recording it. So I want to see a movie about Brian Wilson that's told through the music itself, showing what it looks like inside his head. This would be a much more surreal, psychedelic, dream-like version of his life, making you feel like you're living in the 60s with him. Just think something like Hayao Miyazaki's The Wind Rises or Ken Russell's Mahler, but set in the '60s with Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys. I hope it wouldn't just do the cradle-to-grave format that was satires in Walk Hard, but I think it might work.
