DVD Reviews of Dennis Wilson Forever
DVD Review: Not So Great...
Summary: 2 Stars
This film should have either been called "Dennis Wilson:White-Washed," or it could have also been called
"Dennis Wilson: Eulogy-30 Years in the Making."
I've been a lifelong Beach Boys fan, I grew up listening to them from the earliest recordings, all the way to the Stars & Stripes "country" album. And everything in between. I've read all I could get my hands on, regarding TBB, and while I think Brian WAS the brains of the group, I do realize the entire band had talent in massive amount.
That said, this documentary was really just a bunch of random interviews with friends, family, musicians and acquaintances, all talking about how wonderful Dennis was. After about a third of the way into this doc, I realized I'm in for some propaganda. Nowhere is mentioned his friendship with Manson, his chronic drug use/abuse, his being near homeless by choice in the mid-late 70's or even his death by drowning. It was just a happy horse-s**t doc with everybody telling goofy antidotes about how silly Dennis was or what a great drummer Dennis was. Half way through the film, it did kinda take on a "Eulogy" feeling. When all you say are the good things, when you idealize the person, rather then a frank, "warts `n' all" documentary, which I foolishly thought I would see.
One more gripe: There isn't ONE NOTE heard of ANY Beach Boy tunes OR Dennis Wilson tunes. The only footage of Wilson found is at the very end, where you get a few minutes of B&W stuff from 1974.
Seeing how this film was made by those who knew & loved Dennis Wilson, it's a shame they couldn't put some music on this thing... There's a wealth of old 70's TV footage loaded with Dennis singing lead with the Beach Boys... Just spend a lil time on Youtube.
I LOVE The Beach Boys, individually and collectively... I did not care for this "documentary" al all.
