Excellent Portryal of Jim and the '60s

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2005)

Val Kilmer was casted perfectly as Jim Morrison. He looks exactly like him and his voice closely resembles Jim's also.
This movie truly captures the turbulent lifestyle of Jim Morrison. This movie explores all aspects of his life from his experimentations with hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD and peyote to his alcoholism and even his wild sex life. The camera acts as a window into the mind of an obsessive and troubled, but extremely talented rock star. It cuts through all the garbage talk about Morrison being some prophet or visionary, as many believe he was, and exposes him for the true drugged-up, troubled human being he was.
The whole scene of drug experimentation, sex, and the cultural revolution of the '60s is shown in this movie.
