The Doors

"The Doors" is a Oliver Stone directed film about the 1960's American band The Doors and the frontman Jim Morrison. The movie is more about Morrison then any of the band members and stars Val Kilmer as Morrison. Kilmer does an excellent job, he convinces you that he is acctuly Morrison. Kilmer's vocals sounds just like Morrisons and does not lip sing at all during the movie showing the great range of his acting skills. One thing that disappointed me from Stone, is that he portrayed Morrison as more as a drunken, drug crazed, self center buffoon rather then the American poet that he was. It seems like Stone had something out for Morrison, and the movie seemed to be centered around Morrison and did not go into much depth for the other band members. At times he does show Morrison to be a true musician rather then the party animal that he was portrayed and in those shots you can get a look at how Morrison did enjoy the band and his band mates. The movie is rated R due to language, some nudity, and drug use. I give the Doors, 2 thumbs up and highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of music from the time.
