My daughter suffers with schizophrenia and she watched this film and she "That's exactly how I feel". She totally related to brian After years of hell and misdiagnosis and the wrong medication. She finally found the right medication for her many different problems with her illnesses. 34 now shes been stable for 4 yrs.
Good interviewer. Brian in a good mood. Screenwriter answered the questions in a very sensible way. I am happy when I see Brian surrounded by people who love him and are supportive of him. And yes- harmony. Beautiful melodies, instrumentation, arrangements. He wrote words to a number of songs. I am glad he collaborated with other tunesmiths for words also. I enjoy singing Brian’s songs. We need to keep performing his music to keep it alive.
Don’t you love Brian’s “antennae”? The way he can feel a person out.. he knows for sure what good vibrations and bad vibrations are.. like the dog in his whole spiel about how good vibrations came about.. love you Brian ❤️
What a great interview! Great interviewer! Very respectful and caring for Brian Wilson as well as very interested in him as an interviewee! Great to see that it went so well
I am one of the biggest Beach Boys / Brian Wilson fans ever. I connect so deeply with their music since I was young. I too suffer with mental health issues. I am lost on what to do, I’ve tried different meds & help; but nothing has really helped. I feel so lost & alone again right now with it all. Love you Brian
What a. life. 2 make the kind of music he did. It has endured the test of time. Then 2 hav a 2nd career still in music & 2 still break barriers comin 4ward about his mistakes & triumphs like they ptd out many others didn't survive. But now an advocate 4 makin mental illness less taboo & putting it out there 2 help others. Letting peo kno its real but u can survive. Thru Love & Mercy. Smile.
Brian, I was 40+ years old, before I found out I had a behavior issue. ADHD. But, been dealing (or not) all of my life. Brian, you have been someone I looked up to, since I was about 7 years old. Your, and your brother's music, has been in my life since 1965. ADHD, if not treated, (for 40+ years) leads to depression. (Or, I have a side diagnosis of depression.) But, The Beach Boys, have been supporting me, for most of that time. If I could, I'd thank you, personally. Already have tickets for the June 7th concert, in Phoenix. I can only think of one band, decent enough, to play supplement to Chicago. They should be playing backup to YOUR band! Both are well loved groups, so we have a GREAT night of music to look forward to. steve
I think it also helps that Oren really was ready to dive into talking abt the details of the movie, as opposed to just chit-chat on the surface like people often do in interviews abt movies.
This is one of the most sensitive and intelligent interviews with BW I've heard. The interviewer has tremendous patience with Brian's often laconic responses but by the end, it's clear that Brian respected him and opened up a bit. This is a model of good interviewing. I don't think Terry Gross could have done better.
Very nice interview....great host who asked appropriate questions and excellent discussion with the screenwriter of Love and Mercy. Thanks for uploading.
As a diversified artist, yeah. But hes passionate on the topic, so hes always going to have positive energy towards progression of mental health awareness. Dare I say, "good vibrations!" I'll see myself out
It's strange how quickly my idea of the sound spectrum changed after I started listening to Wilson's stuff. My vocal direction and compositions have changed for sure.
What great guys. Enjoyed spending time listening to this. Brian is animated, the script writer is sensitive to the subject and the interviewer has logical questions that didn’t make me cringe with embarrassment
I think that most creative people tend to be (lack of a better word) melancholy.. and the best way to release it as it is for me, is to create some kind of art. I cook for art
Maybe THIS is his time .. maybe WE’RE ready 4 his genius. I’m biased ; have always zeroed in on the Pet Sounds & Smile portion of his discography. Uno, u havvan abusive father, have ur musical genius rejected by Powers That Were including internal dissent, mix in the mid-late 60s, drug culture & u’d .. aaghh, float off too. Harmony, open musical genius & bldg on musical history is his legacy secured. 2 b sure some of his genius was inherited from musical parents. Thx Brian👌
Instead he had terrible people providing him with even more drugs and Syd fell into a deeper hole and never came out of that. Instead he isolated himself till he died which is sad. He could’ve done a lot of great things in rock and roll. But sadly we never got that. We only have what he did in Pink Floyd and his solo career. Good thing David always made sure he was taken care of with royalties. He seemed to be the only person who cares about him and made sure he had his piece of the pie.
When Landy worked with Brian he helped him to be healthy and Brian never looked so good. Can't deny that. So, I'm not sure that Landy deserves all this bad press as to the harm that he did to Brian. Nothing is perfect. Landy saved Brian from the worst direction in which he was heading and he deserves accolades for bringing Brian out of the hell he was in both physically and mentally. Let's stop demonizing a man who turned things around for Brian. Not an easy thing to do when someone is on that freight train to the abyss of mental and physical total collapse.
Mary Magdalene Eugene Landy saved Brian’s life. He then proceeded to do everything he can to take his life away from him to gain power. The terrible things Landy did to not only Brian, but by extension his family, far outweigh the good.

What a blessing to have an interviewer show the respect Brian deserves - kind, not patronizing.
Very good interviewer. He made Brian feel quite relaxed and secure.Thanks for a very nice clip!

I wanna meet Brian so badly. He’s really the reason why I wanna make music like the way he did. It’s super complicated yea, but I wanna do it
Me too. Pet Sounds changed my life

You should read his book
Awww… so sorry to hear of your struggles. The last two years must have been exceptionally tough. Keeping you in my prayers🙏🏻♥️
Wonderfully sensitive and respectful interview.
I still believe in you, Brian.❤️
Me too I still believe in you Brian I'm glad you are well and healthy love and mercy to you and your family wish you happiness
Love him! A gentle man who has earned every good thing that happens.

I watched love and mercy tonight and wow, Brian has been through so much….he is wonderful and bless his wife …
Brian, you make me happy. God bless you.
Mike Love must be the one who disliked this
lol
LOL THERE IS STILL 1 DISLIKE
Alastair Lyon Still ☝️ dislike 😂
And finally John Stamos disliked it too.
Six Mike Loves

ADHD really does bring in other stuff if not treated. I have ADHD as well. Was tired of spinning my wheels. Good luck!
Very good interviewer! A gentleman!
Serious props to the interviewer. Killed it dude.
I think it also helps that Oren really was ready to dive into talking abt the details of the movie, as opposed to just chit-chat on the surface like people often do in interviews abt movies.

wonderful interview of the genius Brian Wilson ...thanks
Sure love Brian Wilson. What a sweet soul. God bless you Brian.
Very good interview god bless Brian.
Very nice interview....great host who asked appropriate questions and excellent discussion with the screenwriter of Love and Mercy. Thanks for uploading.
This is one of my favorite interviews with Brian. ❤️
Brian must be fed up of talking about the same thing over and over again.
As a diversified artist, yeah. But hes passionate on the topic, so hes always going to have positive energy towards progression of mental health awareness. Dare I say, "good vibrations!"
I'll see myself out
All rock well most have to .
Thanks Brian! I wouldn't be the type of songwriter that I am today if it wasn't for you!
:)
It's strange how quickly my idea of the sound spectrum changed after I started listening to Wilson's stuff. My vocal direction and compositions have changed for sure.
Too short! Finally, someone who asks Brian ‘the real questions’.
I'm lying in bed just like Bryan Wilson did.
I saw brian ,s life film and i cried and at the end of the film that he was now married and happy and a father❤❤❤❤❤
What great guys. Enjoyed spending time listening to this. Brian is animated, the script writer is sensitive to the subject and the interviewer has logical questions that didn’t make me cringe with embarrassment
I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I think he is extraordinarily brave.
I think that most creative people tend to be (lack of a better word) melancholy.. and the best way to release it as it is for me, is to create some kind of art. I cook for art
Best interviewer
Congrats!
This was a great film and Brian had a incredible yet devastating life
Brian thank you
Good driven interview.
Yay for Brian feeling better
Brian...may I add Both Father/Parent and Gentleman to your remembrances...
Maybe THIS is his time .. maybe WE’RE ready 4 his genius. I’m biased ; have always zeroed in on the Pet Sounds & Smile portion of his discography. Uno, u havvan abusive father, have ur musical genius rejected by Powers That Were including internal dissent, mix in the mid-late 60s, drug culture & u’d .. aaghh, float off too.

Well Sir Paul has good taste. God Only Knows is my favorite Beach Boys song too. 😁
Its so great more n more talking about mental illness its a terrible thing to live with .you lose friends ,family .the stigma terrible
classy interview!
Every interviewer wants Brian to describe his “process”. I feel like it’s ineffable. It just is.
It's a simple 2-step process. Step 1: be born Brian Wilson. Step 2: compose brilliant pop songs. Heh heh.
@@rustybeltway2373 I think you’re really right though. For some people, certain things just come naturally without thought of a process.
If only Syd Barrett did the same…
Instead he had terrible people providing him with even more drugs and Syd fell into a deeper hole and never came out of that. Instead he isolated himself till he died which is sad. He could’ve done a lot of great things in rock and roll. But sadly we never got that. We only have what he did in Pink Floyd and his solo career. Good thing David always made sure he was taken care of with royalties. He seemed to be the only person who cares about him and made sure he had his piece of the pie.
Paul dano playing him? It should be good
So many , Musicians today have Mental and Drug problems.
Back in the early 70s, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix both died of drug overdoses.
When Landy worked with Brian he helped him to be healthy and Brian never looked so good. Can't deny that. So, I'm not sure that Landy deserves all this bad press as to the harm that he did to Brian. Nothing is perfect. Landy saved Brian from the worst direction in which he was heading and he deserves accolades for bringing Brian out of the hell he was in both physically and mentally. Let's stop demonizing a man who turned things around for Brian. Not an easy thing to do when someone is on that freight train to the abyss of mental and physical total collapse.
Mary Magdalene Eugene Landy saved Brian’s life. He then proceeded to do everything he can to take his life away from him to gain power. The terrible things Landy did to not only Brian, but by extension his family, far outweigh the good.
it's like saying praise the firefighter (landy) who lit up the fire and then took it out.
menul health... menul illness
Mike love > Brian Wilson
lol
Hahahahahahaha
Troll
This comment is so absurd we all know it has to be a joke 🤣
