that movie is good. I guess, but ... come on, there are different sides to Morrisson, than this crazy drunken lad and LSD-dropping beast... Yes, the consciousness revolution, thats what Im talking about. he wanted to break on through with his music... it is mentionned in the movie farely well, but still. there are many people who dont get the right impression from this wonderful band and mind that is Jim Morrisson.
Yea man, after I saw that movie I thought Jim was just an insane acid fried dude. I'm sure in a sence thats true, but it portrayed him in such a negative light. I haven't gone that deep learning about Jim and his life, but I have a feeling that it was blown a bit out of proportion.
yeah... well people who don't know anything about jim do get the wrong impression, but it's not like that for the people who love him. i love jim morrison and i love the movie, i think it's great.
it is good. but it should be called "morrison" or "jim" or a combo of both. because they did not capture anyone else in the band. they focused on one side of jim, the wild man....and decided not to explore the other band members. they make ray manzerick out to be this pussy. they make the other members look like they hate them. and many interviews have shown that this is not the truth. they all loved eachother. jim was a kind man, who was often very shy, until he got drunk. and thats the jim the movie focused on.....but that part was done well....VAL KILMER was amazing as jim....looks exactly like him!! exactly!
i loved this movie, i saw it like 5 times, the doors is one of my favorite bands! we have to admit that oliver stone did a good job in this movie, he showed the multiples sides of jim morrison, the rock star, the poet and philosophe...
I like the moive. But I love the beginning even more. Where his in the french studio reading his poem of "the Moive". I just find that really funny. Yea i have to agree Oliver did a crapy job. Oh well, what are you gonna do. Val looks and acts well as Jim but he dosnt look excalty like him.
of course he doesn't look "exactly" like him....don't be an asshole...but he does look a hella alot like him!
I loved the movie, i agree they were a bit harsh on Jim. After the movie i read No One Here Gets Out Alive that was AWSOME BOOK! it was great coz it also showed u alot more of what jim was really like, and helped u understand him more.
Mr. Morrison only showed the drunken, LSD taking side of himself. And, the movie is about THE DOORS, not just Jim Morrison.
I agree completely. Great movie, great acting. I love getting really baked and watching it. The doors is probably one of the greatest bands ever.
good book and good movie, but i agree it is a bit harsh on Jim, i think it would be better if it showed more of his poetic side and things like that. the book Wild Child by Linda Ashcroft is a good book and tells us about that side of him and yeah... ummm oh yeah like its good haha.
maybe oliver stone wanted to show what image jim morrison had at the time, that could maybe explain the harsh but in a way it is true that he was drinking too much and dropping acid too much too, i red books about doors and jim himself, books that showed well that he was more a poet, he wasnt that lsd freak and all that stuff, the lsd was to open his mind, he wasnt doing it for fun like that in one of the books i red about him, dont remember the name, it was interviews with friends of jim, people with who he worked, exept the doors band members, and ther was one of them who talked about a mescalin trip they had, each of them had a glass of orange juice with 17 capsules of mescalin in it, 2 days later they're were still hallucinating
the biography Jim Morrison, Life, Death, Legend by Stephan Davis puts him in real bad light too. puts the image that everyone hated the Densmore to the point of wanting to literally kill him. and also puts the image that they all hated Jim and Jim hated Ray. constantly dwells on gay rumours. every once in a while it will put him in a good light but those instances are few and far between.
