Title: excellent evocation of 60s aspiration and excess
Review: For those of us who grew up in the 1960s, this is a wonderful film. It genuinely evokes the sense of newness and possibility of that time, that all old forms could be swept away, that we could live love and rock and not worry about the future. Of course we were wrong, and those who embodied all the hope and excess, like Morrison, paid the price with their lives - they were drunk, drugged out, and many eventually died of it.Looking back on it, I feel amazed at how naive we were, how arrogant, but then, we were children and youths, affluent and feeling that the possibilities literally were limitless. This film accurately portrays that feeling, both in its pathetic over-reaching, but also a lot of the beauty of it.This is the best Stone film by far, and I wasn't even into the Doors.Warmly recommended.
