Ode To A Grasshopper

Rating: 9/10 (28 June 2003)

Oliver Stone's biography of Jim Morrison(it says Doors but it's about Morrison)is very well done.
The music of The Doors is sublime and most of their greatest songs are woven into this movie.Highlight to me is the performance of "The End",their best song(also the best psychedelic song ever written).The intensity of the song and the acting performance of Val Kilmer makes this scene brilliant. Other highlights are the scene in "The Factory" of Andy Warhol,with even better music of The Velvet Underground in the background and the stage brawls with the cops(GO JIM GO).
Stone shows us that America wasn't ready for The Doors at that time in history and probably still aren't,considering the popularity of the religious and highly old fashioned psycho George W. Bush.
Still,The Doors and especially Jim Morrison are part of America's (music)history and it is hard to denie that.
An almost masterpiece of one of the greatest bands and performer of music history. 9/10
