Title: Brian Wilson-portraits in (fictional) films:
Post by: rasmus skotte on December 17, 2007, 03:01:52 AM
'Eddie And The Cruisers' from 1983 by Martin Davidson
-on dvd in 2001. MGM Home Entertainment

'Whale Music' from 1994 by Richard J. Lewis
-on dvd in 2005. Alliance Atlantis (Canada)

'Grace Of my Heart' from 1996 by Allison Anders
-on dvd in 1999. Universal (Collectors's Edition)
(she is also represented in the new 2-dvd boxset of 'Two-lane Blacktop' on one of the two new audio commentaries
in conversation with that film's director Monte hellman)

These 3 movies are mentioned by David Leaf in his opening essay from the SMiLE concert programme (2004) - though
only the first one by title, the second  in its novel-origin and the last one just indirectly.

'Seconds' (?) from 1966 by John Frankenheimer
-on dvd in 2001. Paramount Pictures
This movie examplifies extraordinary synchronicities and is in this capacity the finest portrait ever on (fictional) film of the
nineteensixties Brian Wilson-persona - besides being a masterpiece in its own right!
For further references on this - according to Andrew Hultkrans and yours truly respectively...

Speaking of 'Seconds', I just found the full Dialogue Transcript online. There it's confirmed that the famous quote:
"Hello, Mr. Wilson" is n e ve r uttered! The closest candidates are:
"Ah, Mr. Wilson" (twice)
"Ah, there you are, Mr. Wilson"
"Welcome home, Mr. Wilson" &
"Oh, Mr. Wilson" as you can see for yourself here:
