Review of The Doors (1991) by Jaden K — 23 Aug 2016
Severely underrated. One small nitpick, is when Indian Summer plays in the background, the song clearly ends, but they loop it, then after about ten seconds they cut the song short and play the end line.
It is jarring to anyone who knows that song pretty well, but most people won't notice. And one large plot point left unexplained,the car crash at the beginning of the film is a reenactment of something Morrison saw in his childhood.
Morrison had said the spirit of that indian man leapt into his body, and they could've noted that with one single line of dialogue in the film, but sadly, they did not. That could've helped audiences understand the heavy impact of the scene, especially because the film flashes back to it numerous times.
Anyways, Val Kilmer plays an insanely convincing Jim Morrison. If you like the music of the Doors, you will like this film, if not you'll probably still enjoy it, but you won't get as much out of it.
