Product Description
The Doors were a distillation of their time. The music they made was raw yet poetic, angry yet seductive. The stage show at its best was dramatic, brilliant theater - artistic expression transcending all form. Jim Morrison's sensual stage presence, charged with strength and energy, capable of projecting a sense of danger, spoke to young audiences' fantasies and became a catalyst for an era. Their songs have kept the Doors in that rare pantheon of groups whose music evokes the memory of the turbulent '60s and continues to make fans not only of those who lived during that time but of following generations as well.

And once again, I teared up just seeing Kilmer, knowing his current state of health which parallels my own😢 But he really becomes Jim in this!
his beyond brilliant portrayal of Jim Morrision!! I know it was not an altogether truthful account of Morrison's life but with what he had to work with, I can't imagine anyone surpassing his performance, particularly since Val sang all the songs and sounds exactly like Jim! Just listen to them both sing"Break on Thru" and you can't tell who's who. I saw the Doors at RPI in New York when I was 18 and they blew me away! But Val brought something of himself to this role that
made it come alive in a very deep way without sacrificing his commitment to Jim's memory.
He's an amazing actor and this was a tour de force! I get chills just thinking about it!
Still, as long as you accept that this is a dramatization of how one person perceives the Doors and their music, this is an enjoyable film, made worthwhile especially by Val Kilmer's uncanny impersonation of Jim Morrison. Stone's quasi-surrealistic approach evokes the time and place and seems particularly well suited to the inner world of Doors music.
A major objection is the emphasis on Morrison as a drunken, obnoxious lout. This side of Morrison is an easy target for a film maker, but it's hardly an accurate portrayal. I strongly recommend The Doors Collection DVD, which will give you a glimpse of Morrison's sensitive side. Also Manzarek's memoir "Light My Fire" will balance the picture for you.
Although the listing here says that this is an anamorphic transfer, according to information on other web sites this is NOT ANAMORPHIC, but is the same transfer used in the previous DVD release (and the laserdisc). It's nice to have the extras, but early reviews indicate that this is a particularly low quality transfer, and I'd prefer to hold out for a new anamorphic release. (The first Doors audio CDs were of very poor quality and were quietly remastered and reissued about four years later; hopefully this film will get the DVD treatment it deserves.)

Je tiens à remercier le vendeur.
Merci beaucoup. C'est avec joie que j'ai pu revivre ce film que j'avais été voir, au cinéma, dans les années 80.
La bande son m'avait également fait plaisir car elle accompagnait vraiment le scénario.
Thank you so much!
サイケで泥臭いドアーズ、そのボーカルのジムモリソンをヴァルキルマーが演じていますが、
とても魅力的に演じていて、ドアーズファンなら必見です。
27歳でこの世を去ったロッカーの一人でもあるジム。その本物を見たのではないかと錯覚します。
歌もヴァルキルマーが歌っているとか。 すごい!
