Title: Good Val Kilmer, distorted history
Review: I found this entertaining and Kilmer plays a pretty good Morrison. That said, the film twists and fabricates the truth in a lot of ways which is what happens whenever Hollyweird makes a film that a lot of us were there to wittiness. I saw the Doors at Whiskey and it was nothing like it was portrayed. I was at the Golden Gate Park gig as well, also a complete fabrication. The genius of Morrison boosted by the rest of the band is hard to capture but we have the music to remind us. I am going to see Ray in a club venue in a few weeks and it will be interesting to hear him play again. I was a lucky boy to grow up only 70 miles from the City and our rescue from the sticks was to go and see music. It was a great time to be alive but Morrison's star went through the sky too fast. I always wondered what the album after L.A. Woman would have been like. It is entertainment and bad history. Nuff said.
