not bad

Rating: Null/10 (12 December 2004)

high jinx and camp performances really worked in this movie, unlike Brad Pitts awful performance in Troy. I know little about the history of the events depicted in this movie but my Iranian friend who has studied it in depth (for about 12 years) tells me that it is way off the mark. This is, i think, simply Stone. The Doors is a prime example of history being recorded in a way different from the way it happened. Stone himself says that The Doors is his poem to Morrison and i think Alexander should be viewed in a similar light. If you want a history lesson, watch a documentary or go to a musseum. This is not history but it sure is entertaining. Well done Oliver.
