In the News (Mon 28 Dec 09)

  
  The Doors (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was directed by Oliver Stone, and stars Val Kilmer as Morrison, Meg Ryan as Pamela Courson (Morrison's companion), Kevin Dillon as John Densmore, Kyle MacLachlan as Ray Manzarek, Frank Whaley as Robby Krieger and Kathleen Quinlan as Patricia Kennealy.
Kyle MacLachlan, a longtime Doors fan, was quoted as saying that he had wanted to portray Morrison himself and firmly believed that he could play the part, but settled for the role of Manzarek after Kilmer was selected.
As the fame of The Doors grows, Morrison's obsession with death increases.

 The Doors (1991)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
This is just a sampling of the lyrics that singer/writer Jim Morrison contributed to his group The Doors, and just this, as part of his epic piece "The Celebration of the Lizard" shows his skill as a master of the written word.
As being a Doors fan, the music and words are the best character of the movie- the songs represent feelings and emotions, desires and hatreds, and other facets of life in the late 60's, are indispensable gems of rock and blues.
While the Doors recorded only six albums together (not counting American Prayer, Morrison's awesome feat of an album) each one is still transfixed into the minds of people all over the world.

A revolving door is a type of door that typically consists of a structure with at least four panels that meet in the center that has an axle.
This door design is used primarily to maintain an air seal from the outside, thus minimizing leaking of climate controlled air from the building and the resulting expense of compensating for the loss.
This type of door is also often seen as a mark of prestige and glamour for a building and it not unusual for neighbouring buildings installing their own revolving doors when a rival building gets one.

The Doors, one of the most influential and controversial rock bands of the 1960s, were formed in Los Angeles in 1965 by UCLA film students
Their first effort was so stellar, in fact, that the Doors were hard-pressed to match it, and although their next few albums contained a wealth of first-rate material, the group also began running up against the limitations of their recklessly disturbing visions.
In 1969, Morrison was arrested for indecent exposure during a concert in Miami, an incident that nearly derailed the band.

 The Doors Movie: The Doors DVD is available from Bestprices.com
Val Kilmer stars as Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone's electrifying profile of the Doors, which takes the group from its inception to its demise with the death of the "Lizard King" in a Paris hotel room in 1971.
Capable of an eerily correct vocal imitation of Morrison, Kilmer makes manifest the talent and charisma, as well as the confusion and despair, of the complex man who was the focal point of the group.
Stone's intimate familiarity with SoCal in the 1960s provides the film with a high degree of surface verisimilitude, though the film is as much a tribute to the enduring power of the Doors' music as it is a cautionary tale about the perils of both celebrity and substance abuse.

 The Doors, FAQ
The name `The Doors' was Jim's idea and it was inspired by a quote from William Blake, "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear as it is, infinite." Jim himself was fond of saying, "there are things known and things unknown and in between are The Doors." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.
It is generally agreed upon by Doors purists that Oliver Stone's movie was not a true representation of Jim Morrison and The Doors.

Nevertheless, it is difficult to really compare these two movies, considering the periods in which the characters lived in and the movies were created are extremely different.
When talking about the time period that the movie was to take place in, he says of the sixties, that "some of it was just fun" and he was disappointed that Stone failed to capture that part of the era in his film.
This article goes deep into the underlying meanings of many aspects of the movie "The Doors." It examines the ties to Greek mythology and the "Iron Age." The author examines the possible bond between Morrison and Christ (a "disillusioned and imperfect Christ," that is).

Attentive viewers (or those who listen to Stone's DVD commentary) witness Death personified throughout the film by Richard Rutowski, who even appears in drag in one scene.
The film's soundtrack contains over two dozen of The Doors songs; in the film, original recordings of the band are seamlessly combined with performances by Kilmer as Morrison.
Ryan's character involves liberties of a different sort: Courson's parents had inherited Morrison's poems when their daughter died, and Stone had to agree to restrictions about his portrayal of her in exchange for the rights to use the poetry.

 ‘The Doors’ (R)
With its reeling, rocking and rolling camera, surging and throbbing score, "The Doors" recreates the dizzying highs and shaky, blurry downs.
The color-saturated collage of impressions begins with a sepia-toned memory of Morrison as a pudgy kid witnessing a highway accident from a station wagon window, presaging his (short) lifelong fascination with death.
The movie's saving grace is Val Kilmer's transformational performance, which takes Morrison from 19-year-old poet wannabe, to the bewildered star who believes his own haphazardly assembled myth, to bloated bearded burnout.

 Sliding Doors Movie Review
Sliding Doors is an interesting film in one respect: It uses a gimmick to explore what we all wonder about each and everyday.
In story line "A" Helen is able to barely catch the train, comes home to find her scummy boyfriend in bed with his mistress, and runs off finding consolation with her best female friend.
Sliding Doors alternates between the two story lines and it was somewhat of a workout trying to keep track of which story line I was watching.

Since the early '80s, the Morrison story came to be regarded as the movie that couldn't, or shouldn't be made.
The Doors stopped the car company using 'Light My Fire' for their commercial, so there never was an ad.
However bad the movie is, and it is bad, it did introduce a whole new audience to the music of The Doors and bring their music back on the shelves in stores.

 The Doors - Movie Review
Little did we realize that one of Oliver Stone's least favorably received movies would call for a two-disc DVD set with 43 minutes of deleted scenes, numerous documentary extras, and a feature length commentary track from Stone.
Ten years after its initial release, I found The Doors a lot like I remembered: a long, pretentious, and meandering -- yet dutiful -- retelling of Jim Morrison's life (and which ultimately had far more to do with him than the band he fronted).
There's also a prodigious volume of music to contend with -- as virtually ever Doors song worth hearing is at least sampled on the movie.

 Movie Review: The Doors
Kara B., Swampscott, MA In March, the doors finally opened on Oliver Stone's latest masterpiece, "The Doors," based on the story of one of rock's most talented, creative, and self-destructive casualties, Jim Morrison.
Val Kilmer plays Morrison, and halfway through the movie the audience seemed overwhelmed as Kilmer accurately imitated the sporadic stage movements, maniacal trances, and philosophical/ drunken babblings characteristic of Morrison.
The movie presented the audience with views of Morrison's self-inflicted pain, his relationship with Pamela, his infatuation with death, his poetic genius, and his habitual substance abuse (which led to his death).
