The best touch in the movie “The Dors” is that it never glorifies its subject, rock/poet Jim Morrison.
Instead of creating a poem for the so -called “King’s Large” and celebrating his work body, Stone Morrison’s movie is filmed as a Dennis monster, which is the words of Xukal that has meaning meaning.
Morrison faced the doors, one of the most musical bands in the 1960s. We left with a lot of great music. Here is a movie that gives the fans what they want and expect, but it also depicts its main number in the most possible way
Val Kilmer plays Morrison, a free spirit whose aspiration was cut off after an interview with Ray Manzar (Kyle McClelle). The two make up the band (Frank, Ili and Kevin Delon playing other members in the doors) and creating some wonderful rocks driven by hair.
After that, Morrison’s behavior, the constant poisoning of the audience and the actions of the buttons on the stage distort their image.
Kilmer’s huge performance as Morrison does not know fear, a strange embodiment that goes beyond a personality impersonation. The film does not allow us to enter Maurison’s personal space, but it reflects his mental state and the world that inhabits it.
Among the band members, MACLACHLAN is better like Manzarek (still Dillon and what in the background of most scenes).
The role of Meg Ryan as Bam, Morrison’s girlfriend, cannot decrease. Like Kilmer, Ryan does not give up showing her personality in the most unfavorable and unfavorable. Crispin Glover’s andy Warhol’s Warhol is one in the time capsule. As well as Kathleen Quinlan fierce worked as a journalist/witch that tempts Morrison.
There is an implicit interesting idea early: Stone appears as a professor of Morrison at the University of California, Los Angeles, accusing Morrison’s action of being a “ton”. Morrison is crushed and leaves the semester significantly (it is among the most accurate things he does in the movie).
Doors (1991)
Val Kilmer lived and Jim Morrison breathed for about a year before the cameras rolled, after which he had to search for psychological help to get “Jim” out of his head. He should have won the Academy Award for his amazing performance … he was not nominated.

It can be suggested that what happened next, Maurison’s profession as a musician, was the worst thing that could happen to him. It enables him to indulge in every imaginative temptation. “You are a poet, not a rock music star.”.
Morrison was addicted to drugs and was obsessed with death, even before he had abundant amounts of money, drugs and wine at his disposal. Morrison’s life gradually became an art of self -destructive performance, as he was constantly surrounded by “vampires” (such as the strange pop characters he faces at the Warhol factory).
Stone reflects the film industry, the carnival mirror approach to Nicolas Rawig or Ken Russell in the most expensive. Thanks to the gauze fog and many hallucinogenic scenes, it seems as if the entire movie was high.
It seems less similar to fax and like a movie that fled his time. At some point, Morrison declares “I live in the subconscious.”
As well as this movie.

If the “The Dors” does not seem fun, it’s because it is often not. Before Morrison’s life and the story become a series of unfortunate incidents, there is an early scene where it takes the band and their friends on a trip to the desert where they take the acid. It is a long scene and a patience test, even for band fans and musical bius.
Stone’s vision of Maurison is a terrible man in the face of reality. We have constantly returned to a young Morrison to remember a car accident of his childhood. The accident may be the key to the character, or not at all, just the only moment that echoed from the days of its youth.
The most personal moment to reveal is when the Quinlan Morrison correspondent teaches that she had identified his parents; It is one of the few times when we see Morrison caught. Otherwise, we forget to wait for the dissection of the character. Morrison’s life is presented as a rocky deity as safely heading down, and it is a colored red descent to hell.
Some have advanced over the years to defend Morrison’s memory and accuse the stone exaggeration (Oliver Stone bends the truth? In any way!). Even if the three most objectionable moments and over the top (there are dozens of choice from them), it is still important that Morrison is an artist, artist and gel.
The character of Michael Winkot manager has a major line early, as Morrison’s obscene behavior deals with: After Janice Jublin witnessed “falling into a bottle”, he does not want the same thing to happen to Jim.
The thing, I love the doors, read the book of Morrison’s poems and dug his music, but regardless of the way you want to rotate, his life is a warning story, and not anything to celebrate it. The closing scenes show us his grave and reveal an amazing fact that Morrison lived only at the age of 27.
Morrison has not been sympathetic here, and it is often difficult to bear the movie itself. Both stone and excess Morrison become too much. It is a ridiculous, but not stupid.
Here is a rock and roll music epic that attracts us strangely to music, but it makes us think twice in the celebration of the man behind it. Many of these plays are like a bad acid trip … but they are still a journey.
