An unusually good film

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2005)

This movie follows the poetic journey of the late Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors. Starting with Jim meeting Ray Manzarek and forming The Doors. After playing their music at a few places and being pulled off stage because Jim Morrisons wild antics, they land a record contract. And with a large demand for their music The Doors became huge. And Morrison even bigger. He refuses to play along, getting arrested, doing drugs, and making himself available to any women he can. With time Morrisons actions threatens the future of The Doors.
I liked this film because Oliver Stone wasn't afraid to show Morrison's outrageous actions on and off the stage. Also because it seemed to show the friction between the band members and Morrison. It seemed to me to show a very good depiction of Jim Morrison's life. I would recommend this film to any fans of The Doors music. I would also recommend this film to those who don't like the music because this might be enough to get them interested.
