Val Kilmer plays the part of Jim Morrison, the cultish singer and writer for the famous band, The Doors.
This biographical story starts with him remembering a family trip in the desert where he witnesses an Indian dying on the side of the road. Remembering that this is the middle of the desert and seeing anyone would seem to be a little odd.
He turns into a bizarre poet and starts a band with this friends at college. Morrison is a unique talent that likes to go into the desert to get his inspiration, he’s fascinated with drugs, Satanism, sex and all the like.
One day, he sees a beautiful girl on the beach and follows her home, he reads poetry to her and captures her heart. Pamela Courson (Meg Ryan), falls for Morrison and the pair remain together until the end.
With Jim, still fascinated with the dark side of life, has an affair with a witch who have blood drinking rituals, Pamela finds out about this but remains with Jim.
This is a well told story of Jim Morrison’s life, Val Kilmer does it excellently and Meg Ryan must be commended for this superb movie… all about the unforgettable band, The Doors.
