In reality, it was an oversight due to a rushed mixing job, and the chatter was omitted from the stereo release. The background studio chatter in 'Here Today' is portrayed as deliberate in the film.By the time Brian even got around to recording Pet Sounds, 'I Live for the Sun' had been out for a while, and for anyone curious, it only topped out at #51. In a scene where Brian is recording 'Caroline, No', Murry comes in to brag about his new band The Sunrays' single 'I Live for the Sun' that had just been cut and how it's guaranteed to be a #1 hit.A minor example but in the film, Murry sold the rights for $50,000 more than what he actually sold them for.He actually sold the rights after the release of 20/20, the band's final album on Capitol Records. The film has Murry Wilson sell the publishing rights to the Beach Boys' catalog right after the collapse of the SMiLE sessions.

He even set up a home studio to record the album.

He was actually heavily involved in the album's production, and the album was actually his idea.

In the film, it's stated that the rest of the Beach Boys went on to record Smiley Smile without Brian's involvement.

It was scrapped because Brian wasn't happy with it at the time and later approached Mike to write new lyrics for the song, where it was released as a hit single. He actually wrote 'Good Vibrations' either before or during the Pet Sounds sessions with lyrics by Tony Asher, and was even intended for the album.

The film portrays Brian Wilson as having written 'Good Vibrations' after the Pet Sounds sessions.

In reality, he also made three more albums between the breakdown and the Pet Sounds sessions ( Beach Boys' Party! was actually produced during the early Pet Sounds sessions as a stop-gap release when Capitol Records demanded a new album for the Holiday season).

The film makes it seem that Brian Wilson went to work on Pet Sounds right after he had his breakdown on the plane.

Artistic License В– History: While the film is mostly able to stay accurate to real-life events, it did take some liberties:.Anachronic Order: As said above, the film cuts back and forth between the two stories.Then in the 80s, Brian being left in the care of a crazy, controlling Psycho Psychologist who leaches off his finances and fame, isolates him from his family and drugs him heavily, all while his family is none the wiser (and even thinks that he's helping Brian) until Melinda intervenes.This hits close to home for anyone who ever had to deal with a loved one slowly go insane. Everyone around him realizes that it's happening, and even Brian himself realizes that he's losing his mind, helpless to stop it. Adult Fear: Brian's gradual Sanity Slippage during the 60s.And in what appears to be a running theme in Beach Boys/Brian Wilson biopics, Carl Wilson, who was notably chubby as a younger man, is played by someone of average build (in this case, Brett Davern). Adaptational Attractiveness: Graham Rogers, who stands 6-feet-tall, plays the 5-foot-4 Al Jardine.He beat the Wilson brothers, is disappointed when he hears 'God Only Knows' for the first time, seems more interested in a new band he manages, and dispassionately reveals that he sold the back catalog for $750,000, pushing Brian into his Heroic BSoD. Abusive Parents: Murry Wilson, just like in real life.Separated from his friends and family, he seems adrift under the watchful eye of Landy until he meets Melinda Ledbetter (Banks), a Cadillac saleswoman who falls in love with Wilson and works to get Landy out of his life.Д¬onfused? Well to put it more succinctly, Love & Mercy jumps back and forth between these two plots in order to tell the story of Brian Wilson's life and music and how they're affected today. In the mid-1980s, Brian Wilson (Cusack) is an Empty Shell controlled by his abusive doctor/legal guardian/ svengali Dr. Wait, that description isnВ’t entirely truthful. However, while crafting the follow-up Smile, Wilson's mental health takes a downward turn as drugs and stress drive him past the brink of sanity. However, a panic attack on an airplane along with the release of Rubber Soul prompts him to stay in California crafting a more experimental, personal album with no filler, Pet Sounds. As the talented Lead Bassist of The Beach Boys, he enjoys both wealth and success. In the mid-1960s, Brian Wilson (Dano) is riding high. Love & Mercy is a 2014 Biopic focusing on the life of Brian Wilson, directed by Bill Pohlad and starring Paul Dano, John Cusack, Elizabeth Banks, and Paul Giamatti.
