I like The Doors so I was looking forward to this. Jeez it was bad. The acting was woodenl. The messages in this movie seemed like they were create in such a way that even kids could understand it. A quick example is when a man yells 'hey long hair!' Is that supposed to make us think of prejudice against men with long hair. Or the guy in the dressing room who is a square in a suit. He says 'grovy' and 'you dig' but he's not cool enough to pull it off. He's some joke. Everything in this movie is handled in that simple and dumbed down way. It's cliche and cringy dialogue and ends up makeing caricature characters. I think Andy Warhol in this was a perfect example. Also it makes sure it mentions death every ten minutes as though Jim isn't scared of death or something.
The poetic hippy feel in this movie was also cringy sometimes.
This made me not enjoy The doors music.
Estimated budget $38,000,000.
