History Film / Stoned

---> '''Brian:''' Thanks for making a martyr of me. If it wasn't for you, I'd still be alive and... no one would care.

* BlackSheep: Not exactly elaborated upon in the movie, but Brian was basically this both within his family for being the wild child at a time where children were expected to be seen and not heard and within the Rolling Stones as Brian’s more unstable behavior increasingly alienated his bandmates.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Brian in real life likely had bipolar disorder, which would explain his oft-noted mood swings and erratic behaviour, as well as his apparent sex addiction (given that he fathered five children between the ages of 17 and 23). It’s not as clear in the movie, but it’s likely, given his erratic behaviour

* PimpedOutCape: Brian in at least two scenes
* PoisonousFriend: There’s a lot of that going on, but one of the more notable examples would be Brian and Tom

* BastardBoyfriend: This doesn’t even begin to explain Brian’s general conduct towards his girlfriends in this movie (or real life, for that matter).

''Stoned'' is a 2005 British biopic that focuses on Music/BrianJones, who was a founding member (or ''the'' founding member, by some accounts) of Music/TheRollingStones. The film focuses primarily on the last three months of his life, though the film is littered with flashbacks just so the audience can get a sense of how we got here. It also advances the notion that Jones was murdered by builder Frank Thorogood, even though the official ruling was death by misadventure (it helps that it’s a real-life {{conspiracy theory}}), and primarily aims to tell that story.

** The Stones’ soon-to-be manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, claims he helped break Music/TheBeatles in America. In reality, he only worked with Brian Epstein for a brief spell, and the affiliation ended long before the Fab Four hit it big in the States.

** Brian is shown with a Robert Johnson record in 1959, two years before any such records existed in the UK.

* AssholeVictim: Despite being the film’s main protagonist, it can be hard to sympathize with Brian in his final moments after the movie mostly depicts him being a prick to just about everyone he knows.

** The Stones’ soon-to-be manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, claims he helped break the Beatles in America. In reality, he only worked with Brian Epstein for a spell, and his affiliation with the Scousers had ended long before either the Beatles or the Stones broke in America.
