The movie ain't really accurate

Rating: 5/10 (29 July 2019)

Felt that this movie gets such a bad rap. They made him to dumb in this movie. He was very intelligent. This movie kind of portrayed Jim as a drunk It didn't really show the aspects of his life or upbringing a little on how he wanted to become a poet, and how The Doors broke through with their music. what a terrible film. just a hopeless caricature. a lesson in bad acting, bad singing, and bad writing i don't hate the film but this movie according to the original band members that actually played with Jim, well its hard to follow a movie where a lot of what they are saying in this film is false but this film is 2 hours of Morrison behaving like a spoiled brat and talking stupidities nonstop Irritating because it portrayed Morrison completely wrong, like a he was a psycho when in reality he was a nice person. Val Kilmer was flopping around way too much. Worst was the part with sunglasses and the beard.. Jim was a lot calmer and introverted. I'm guessing Val just got really into the character and exaggerated him a bit more. Jim did have hyper moments and jumped around but he didn't do it constantly. He was also a lot less seductive in the way he moved. For me Kilmer far from sucked. I believe much of the reason actors seem to be over acting or too hyper when portraying a real life person is due to how it may come across on screen in the finished product maybe coming across as too flat. What was even worse was that after he was done filming the movie, it took him two years to get out of his role. The worst part is exaggerating the "girl we couldn't get much higher" so cringe. The movie was meh. Morrison was charismatic ally magical. The actors were shadows of the real people. But they tried.
