The Doors
Atjaunots 08.02.2007. 6. februārī noskatījos šo filmu atkārtoti un secināju, ka mans viedoklis par to laika gaitā ir mainījies. Es joprojām nesaskatu tur neko tik ģeniālu, lai pasludinātu "The Doors" par visu laiku labāko kino darbu, bet patiesībā filma ir tīri laba - droši vien man bija kaut kāds slikts noskaņojums, kad to pagājušo reizi skatījos. Protams, īstas skaidrības par to, kas tieši Morisonā bija tik kruts, man no šīs filmas neradās, bet vismaz man neradās arī tāda pretīguma sajūta kā iepriekš, kad to biju skatījies. Viena lieta gan mani mazliet izbrīna - kāpēc tā filma saucas "The Doors", ja acīmredzami vienīgais tās varonis ir Morisons - nedz Mazarekam, nedz pārējiem grupas dalībniekiem nekāda uzmanība pievērsta netiek un viņu loma visā šajā pasākumā tiek minimizēta. Toties filmas reitings no 4.5 ticis uzlabots uz 7.

Jim Morrison was a fucking semigod! He was a semigod and he did a lot of fucking! That`s what this movie tells about. And Val Kilmer even looks quite good as Jim, at some scenes I would even think that its the dead rock poet we are actually seing. But of course, it isn`t him. We see the entire Jims life starting with his trip with the family to Mexico and seing a dying indian shaman and until the end in a Paris hotel room bathtub. We listen to Val Kilmer singin` "Touch Me", "Light my Fire" and other classical Doors songs. You know, I really love those songs. And I even like the film versions for them. But apart from them I don`t see nothing spectacular in this movie. So, ok, Jim has his girlfriend and another woman as his regular lover. He takes a lot of drugs, is dissatisfied that he`s more of a fucker than of a poet in the eyes of his fans, he can`t cope up with his stardom; the bandmates don`t really understand him. I fell asleep several times while watching this film, and not because of no reason. I guess, films about imaginary musicians are better than the ones about the real stars, because you don`t need to treat "The Rutles", "Spinal Tap" or even "Stillwater", but you can`t make fun of a dead legend. Is it right or is it wrong?
