Obviously, this type of film requires that everyone who sees it be interested in the subject and at least be a lover of The Doors music, although not fanatic enough to clarify whether Morrison's shirt was one way or another.
The story is quite true to the life of the group and can be considered more than acceptable for an approach to their life.
It is true that perhaps the film is too accommodating to Pamela Courson who presents herself as Jim's great grip and support when in reality he liked heroin more than a fool a pencil and had almost more problems in bed with others than himself. Morrison with his female fans. Do not forget that she died of an overdose after working a couple of years as a luxury prostitute, something that in the end is omitted, which seems to have died of love and is not exactly like that, it must be because of Stone and the family. she made an agreement so that her image would look good in the movie from what I have read.
In any case, as I say, what we are told is faithful enough, however the theme is not the highlight of the film, and it is that Oliver Stone did what he wanted, in the end, he knew drugs and loved the whole, Then he decided to talk about skill with psychoactive substances and melody, and that's fine with me.
And it is that the argumentation does not matter enough when you have that wonderful music that are the songs of the epic Californian group, sometimes with the voice of Kilmer himself, which embroiders his characterization. Interpretatively speaking we are facing the best role of Val Kilmer of his entire career, an actor in my opinion wasted that I think he gave for much more than he has offered.
A very good photograph of Robert Richardson, common Stone films that take advantage of the possibilities offered by sets and lighting effects.
Anyway, "The Doors" was a flop then; the only one who had something positive Val Kilmer that was very attractive to the girls of MTV.
But it was not the right time, fashion was still emerging and among chic rock and around the world, it was not the best.
Cinematic tribute to one of the five best bands of all time, psychedelic yes, but rock. Good ending with the cemetery, which is the fourth most visited by tourists. While it's not up to par obviously, "The Doors" is definitely one or four of Oliver Stone's best movies, and I don't have that quota going up given what we've got lately.
