The Doors (Special Edition) Summary Thanks In Large Part To Its Meticulous Re-creation Of The Late 1960s And Early 1970s Rock Scene And The Uncannily Authentic Performance By Val Kilmer As Legendary Doors Front Man Jim Morrison, Oliver Stone's Hypnotic Film Biography Is Standing The Test Of Time. Capturing The Carefree Mood Of The Age Of Aquarius, The Film Charts The Meteoric Rise Of The Doors On The California Club Circuit (including A Memorable Scene Showing The Creation Of The Hit "light My Fire"), And Chronicles The Band's Exploits With Hallucinogenics And Morrison's Battles Against Charges Of Public Indecency On Stage. Kilmer's Performance Is Hauntingly Perfect, And Performances By Meg Ryan, Kathleen Quinlan, And Kyle Maclachlan Are Similarly Impressive. The Movie Doesn't Fully Probe The Depths Of Morrison's Character, But As A Portrait Of Excess It Is Vividly True To The Spirit Of The Self-destructive Poet Known To His Fans As "the Lizard King." "--jeff Shannon"
