The Doors [Blu-ray] starring Val
Kilmer, Meg Ryan, Kyle MacLachlan,
Frank Whaley, Kevin Dillon
A Vibrant Blending Of Reality And Legend
Thanks in large part to its meticulous re-creation of the late-1960s and
early-70s rock scene and the uncannily authentic performance by Val
Kilmer as legendary Doors frontman Jim Morrison, Oliver Stones hypnotic
film biography is standing the test of time. Capturing the carefree mood of
the Age of Aquarius, the film charts the meteoric rise of the Doors on the
California club circuit (including a memorable scene showing the creation
of the hit Light My Fire), and chronicles the bands exploits with
hallucinogenics and Morrisons battles against charges of public indecency
on stage. Kilmers performance is hauntingly perfect, and performances by
Meg Ryan, Kathleen Quinlan, and Kyle MacLachlan are similarly
impressive. The movie doesnt fully probe the depths of Morrisons
character, but as a portrait of excess it is vividly true to the spirit of the self -
destructive poet known to his fans as The Lizard King. --Jeff Shannon

Hello there,
THE FILM THAT BLEW THE COVER OF THE LEGEND THAT IS THE
DOORS
The Doors revokes the worldwide interest of shamanism and the protection
of the environment against illegal construction corporate activities and still
continues to leave the lives of whoever watch it changed forever.
Watching the Doors is beyound reading the works of Bob Frizzel or
Drunvalo Melchizedek or having a chat with Stewart Swerdlow.
The film touches the heart of the entire population on this planet as it
continues to be watched - this time by myself , yesterday and being
finished today. Jim Moors died happy - looking towards the limit of the
horizon , having freed himself finally from his mortal body , in the year
1971. He was a first class self - initiated shaman who followed the Native
American Tradition , according to Stone , and not Satanism , as portrayed
in the rockn roll classic documentary Hells Bells.
So obsessed with freeing his soul from his mortal body did Jim Morrison
become that nothing else mattered , sometimes not even the oneor his
wife.
Jim Morrison taught people that in order to overcome fear you must
confront it - literally. He was totally unafraid of fame and fortune and
definately did not literally believe in Satan. He believed instead , according
to Stone , in the Great Spirit being nature itself and loved the desert - out
there , like Charles Manson , Jim Morrison felt restf ul and at peace and at
one with his heart and the girl he loved who would grow up and become
one of the most famous women of all time , who would have even silent
wannabes wanting to be like her among many of Americas leading
politicians , such as Sarah Palin or Hillary Clinton , who must have secretly
desired to be wives of Jim Morrison in some of their sickest , sexcual
fantasies which can only be defined as normal due to the spirit of the
times.
And whats wrong with any woman wanting to be the wife of a famous rock
star? What Jim Morrison exposed was the body of our once inner
policeman , who is slowly being killed and whose body is still in the
process of being processed. That is what he means when he says that
most of us are in fact slaves. I do not even allow myself to speak profanely
here when I state that , so Ill leave the spirit of Jim Morrison to once again
remind us of the importance of NOT BEING SLAVES to anyone , even
ourselves. But Jim Morrison ended up being a slave to the drugs that he
was so quick to get addicted to , and freed himself from his drug slavery in
the end , fearlessly , calmly , rationally , irrationally , spatially , happily ,
sexually , fantastically , and quite honestly brilliantly.
He became one of historys greatest rock star s , and as Michael Jackson
died , so would his generation be resurrected. Finally Jim Morrison roams
free in the spirit world - lets hope he does not end up in a place belonging
to the mind of such people as Peggy Kane when it comes to talk about his
hopefully happy afterlife. The film explodes the senses with its surreal lack
of special effects , and bestows upon the entire population of the people of
the United States a form of nakedness and self - exposure which a worker
in the black project programmes can only dream of. Jim Marrison may
have been a black tulip that got eaten by drugs - but in the end he
defeated his drug addiction doing it the only way he thought appropriate at
that time.
He wanted to defy death , and sometimes wondered if he could defy his
own fame. He believed in life , liberty , hope , love , hate , anything a man
can believe in - and loved his wife and children more than anyone and
anything. He was a man who had it all , and got it all in the end , got bored
by it , and wanted to explore more. For the spirit of the personality that was
Jim Morrison still lives on to this day. Therefore I say that this is without
doupt , Oliver Stones best film. Everything is changing now as our society
chooses to abandon zealous materialism , and all kinds of extreme forms
of variations of religions , and new and more forgiving varieties of
spirituality are constructed , out of the ashes of the less forgiving cults.
Everything is changed in the mind of the viewer of this film - it quite literally
tunes you in , then drops you out and that with more sheer quality of
surreal realism than anything Videodrome by David Chronenberg had ever
attempted to do , an equally fascinating and good film to watch
nonetheless. This is one of a kind of a movie - and there arent that many
musical films Ive seen. Way to go Oliver Stone , still receiving honest and
positive criticism on this brilliant work of genius whose immortal spirit can
never be defeated , and way to go for Val Kilmer.
This is the best EVER movie Ive ever seen starring him.
