Watch Live at Hollywood Bowl, etc and see The Doors in Action

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2000)

Before I saw this movie, I only had occasionally heard "Light My Fire", and "Touch Me". It is important to note that this movie helped make me the Doors fan I am today. However, after becoming a Doors fan, I have completely denounced this movie. This movie would like to say that Jim was just an acid head who had the good luck of having a few minutes of fame. This is entirely WRONG. The doors were the most ambitious band of the sixties/seventies. Their likes would not be seen in rock for decades to come. The next time you go to a concert and you actually see a show and not just some guys plucking guitars, thank Jim Morrison and the doors.
If/When you really want to see a true story of the doors, watch "Live at the Hollywood Bowl", "The Soft Parade", "Dance On Fire", or any other actual footage of the concerts. There are several biographies on Morrison, and he himself had written a couple of poetry books. Please, don't rely on this 130 minute film to provide you an accurate assessment of THE DOORS' career and legacy.
