June 17, 2006undoubtedly one of the best movies of ALL times. val kilmer pulled an extraordinay performance to act as much as he could as jim morrison, his walk, his attitude, his way of speaking, his romantic manners and his much-loved altered-state. needless to say that this couple (val and oliver) were selected from many that applied for the "job". val was selected even over john travolta for this roll. not only is this movie mind blowing it's also faithfull to actual events... everysingle thing in it, is real. shows that jim's... mmm lifestyle of closing the curtain in the climax of his performance is the best way to go. a movie for doors' fans and visual experience breaking throught to the... as mr. morrison said "i believe in a prolonged derangement of the senses, to obtain the unknown".
