Love and Mercy - News and Reviews - First clip is out.

[Lowbacca]

THANKS FOR THAT!   Brian is looking good.

[Margarita]

A few more things from the trailer not already mentioned:
 - Brian (Dano) in a really ugly green shirt freaking out at the dinner table and screaming at people (tripping?  aftershock?)
 - Brian asking if he can bring a horse into the studio
 - There are a few moments of really quick clips, including Brian as a little boy playing the organ and Murry yelling at him (and possibly hitting him).
 - Brian during the Fire session running around the studio with his shirt open, wearing a fire hat and holding lit sparklers
 - A shot of Pet Sounds-era Brian from behind, wearing white jeans and a light blue short-sleeved t-shirt and looking at the empty Western studio
 - And - oh, this nearly did me in - the trailer ends with a 1965/66 Brian at the mic in the studio, eyes closed and a tear rolling down his cheek.  
To anyone who has seen this already - would you mind PMing me and tell me what the context of that moment is?  My guess is that it has something to do with the recording session for God Only Knows.  I don't mind spoilers!

This movie is starting to seriously unsettle me... because from all the reports, reviews and the like, it looks like that, for once, They got it right. And we all know that just can't be. That just doesn't happen in the World of Wilson.

Does it ?

Remember that album, "That's Why God Made The Radio"?

That's the one overwhelming thought I had after leaving the theatre - that they got it, got him, right.

yet another press interview w/ Brian, Cusack, & Pohlad

Thanks for that one, so much.  I love Brian's handling of this interview, in that when she was asking about the film making, he referred her to the Director.  As a record producer, he really gets the role of Director in film.  I remember Brian telling me that he wanted to be a film or TV director decades ago.  He does speak a bit in shorthand, or metaphorically - whatever you prefer - but he gets the "mind behind the masterwork."  Being one of those minds, he "gets" another one, like Bill's.  It was Bill's and John's time to speak.  Brian was probably tired of being interviewed by then, I'll grant you, but he was right.

[Andrew G. Doe]

One of the fave tales Steve Desper told me about working with Brian is when he would say say "I want this to sound like a chocolate malt..." or "This should sound like leaves after the rain".

Am I the only one who finds that interviewer a bit annoying? Interesting to hear what the interviewed had to say, anyway.

It struck me funny that in this movie Brian gets portrayed by John and Paul.

I found her enthusiasm infectious. And she's pretty cute

The only thing that kinda bothers me, it's just me tho, it's the fact how brown dark Cusack eyes are!

[GoodVibrations33]

Panel interviews:

Just Cusack being interviewed but Brian and Pohlad are there too.

[GoodVibrations33]

An article and a video with interviews with Cusack, Pohlad, and Max Schneider:  http://austin.culturemap.com/news/entertainment/03-20-15-sxsw-film-exclusive-interview-stars-love-and-mercy-john-cusack/

Interesting to note - during Pohlad's interview he says his 10-year old son plays a "very young" Brian in the movie!

Which is funny because when I looked into Brian's eyes (the one time I got to meet him) I couldn't believe how blue they were. I'm jusyt glad I didn't blurt out, "Damn your eyes are blue."

From the WSJ article that accompanied the "Sail Away" clip:

He also says he contributed a new song called “One Kind of Love” to “Love & Mercy,” the forthcoming biopic about his life in theaters June 5.

 I'm curious about this; I don't remember hearing it in the film.  Maybe it was used as background and I didn't notice.

No, I don't remember hearing a new song, either.

Maybe they decided not to use it for whatever reason.

Ya'll remember that "One Kind of Love" is on NPP, right?

Yeah, that's why it's being brought up in this thread.

To be honest, I forgot!
