Val Kilmer and Oliver Stone capture the 1960s

Rating: Null/10 (13 September 2004)

More than any other film (Hair, Woodstock, etc), this captures the cultural changes in white America during the 1960s. Val Kilmer, Meg Ryan, Oliver Stone and everyone involved with this production are to be commended. The spirit of Jim Morrison lives in the film. This is a most accurate expression of the drug culture of 1960s - the good and the bad of it. The experiences I remember from living in New York in 1968, attending concerts at the Fillmore-East, listening to WBAI radio, the concerts in Central Park, the music of Jim Morrison and so many others (Carlos Santana, Jimi Hendrix) are communicated to another generation. Thank you for this window into the world and that time.
