DVD Reviews of The Doors

DVD Review: Accurate? Who Cares!
Summary: 5 Stars

The endless quivelling over this movie's accuracy is downright insane! First of all, why say "If you want a true account of the Doors, read Light My Fire by Ray Manzarek"? How can you trust Mr. Manzarek as the definitive source for a Doors biography? I'm sure drugs have poisoned the memories of the entire group, and Manzarek is no exception. Do you people realize how involved the real-life individuals were in the making of this biopic? It's practically based on John Densmore's book! If they thought some major travesties were being committed against the band, they wouldn't have let Stone go through with them. Pam Courson's family didn't let Stone portray their daughter as the junkie she truly was. Think about it.

If Morrison has no poetic side in this film, I'd like to know why everything he said was an epiphany. Face it, this is a great film, and, although inaccurate, it's just a MOVIE, not a documentary, and artistic liberties are taken with all biopics, no matter who is at the helm. You must admit that there are some truly brilliant moments in this movie. I didn't hate Morrison. Kilmer did great, and there should've been Oscar nods for him, as well as the *genius* cinematography, etc. To trash this film because it's "inaccurate" is mere card stacking.
