And HEAT. Oh, boy. What a role.

Thunder heart. Massively underrated

And batman

And then did a complete nose dive …..when your an arrogant,dick that’s hard to work with people only put up with that for so long

He looks so much like Elon Musk here.

Val is a spectacular actor

guitar lover people are crazy. He was fantastic as Jim. Not sure of another actor besides Jimmy Fallon that can do a good Morrison lol.

Absolutely!

They look so much alike before any makeup in my opinion

@@yeezywesty3651 he WAS ... ... ...

That part. One Day The Doors came on and my Mom watched it. She was all I swore it was Jim Moved sang and talked like him. She knew she saw The Doors live multiple times.

He wasn't a good choice, but THE best choice for the role of Jim...

He was a terrific replica of Jim.

They f’d Val out of an Oscar for Tombstone too!

I think he approached the role with so much truth like something sacred and magical happened there ..he won in cinema history and in our hearts for ever and ever...So much respect for Val Kilmer celebrating Jim Morrisson's love for life music and poetry and protecting his personal struggle with so much sensitivity!!!!

I thought the same thing ...

It's strangely morbid.

Jim Morrison The Doors T Shirt amzn.to/3BykNlo

Yes, and he also reminds us of our age and mortality. If it feels like yesterday when he looked young…

The fragility of the human body cannot be taken for granted, anything can happen to anyone of us on any given day

Same here

Ditto

Same

Fictional movie which includes the doors basically, wish they would do a factual remake

Yeah? Very cool to hear! My thing was the other way around...I (and my friends in high school) was (were) MASSIVE Doors fans! I just adored them from the age of 14 or so on to about when the film came out and I was 16 or 17 (we needed fake ID's to watch this at the film theatre on its opening night)...I didnt' like the film then and I didnt' like it later. It was over-the-top for me. Even though Jim Morrison took things WAY over the top - it was just a bit on the silly side for me....the movie, that is. It actually turned me off of the band after seeing it for a while.

you're lost little VAl

So true

Even though I think the movie isnt accurate Kilmer is very believable as jim to the point you think he is jim

He was great actor, they made jim morrison look like drunken angry man, but he wasn't at that. All the band members can confirm that, yeah drank alot but still tho.

@Carlos Grey he looked like him but no one could be like Jim, certainly not this guy

@Carlos Grey YES

MusicalManchild77 He is such a great actor.

EXACTLY! Jim never left him after this role.

Theres a bit of jim in everyone.

I thought the same. He had to be a method actor to get into that role. He did a good job on the aesthetic side of him but as the main real member have said the film is a Oliver stone fantasy and not fully the truth. But being with a witch that he had that ceremony with and seeing her dark demeanour it's obvious he was infected by dark side more than portrayed especially with he's father being in the military. There's more to Jim and he's story.

That aint Jim. Thats some portrayal of Jim. Listen to any Jim Morrison interview. Hes an incredibly intellectual person

@@shepherdoffire9263 I agree.

He's played a lot of strange characters

I can see it. at least 2 times I saw it in this interview.

Ray Manzark said in a interview he would “like to punch Val Kilmer in the face”

I really think they look alike to begin with and already had a lot of the same mannerisms.

Erica Espinosa, Did you see the movie "Man on the Moon" starring Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman? He was better at playing Andy than Andy was in real life.

No one can portray anyone at 100%

@1969cmp They can if the script doesn't blow! He could have been a great Jim if he had a better and more Accurate script to work with!

Eh?

What?

Que?

@@shoutatthesky He lived and dressed like Jim Morrison for a year before filming

Yes, his movements and the way he speaks.. agree

He had throat cancer and beat it.. He was exposed to years of chemo and radiation!

The Ghost & The Darkness was amazing so was Batman

Virginia Wolf yes great job for val

Woody? Harrelson?

@@dillon.phelps3 yep

@@jordanzlotolow8254 dang that sucks, I love woody

@@dillon.phelps3 he was ok just a bit prickish he did talk to me with no entourage he just goes around town. Weirdly I saw Flea that night too on Fairfax. I was playing an open mic. How cool would it have been to walk in with my new buddy Woody to perform some hippy tunes?

lucky duck 67 man can you imagine he did such an amazing job I can’t even picture the real Jim Morrison when I listen to his music

@@mrchoptop5482 i always have an image of val in my mind when i listen to the doors

jo hn same lol

It's my son chase Appleton

I'm agree with you 🖐️

Val kilmer i love IT the Best doc hollyday and Bad man

Lots of rock stars have alter egos Jim WAS a shock rocker sometimes he did get stage nerves and did drink to lower his inhibitions for performances when he started out he used to sing with his back to the audience he was not overly confident yet he was a bit of a shy poet and that was the other side of Jim he was an intellectual and smart kids sometimes have to act wild to be accepted by their peers or he would have been dismissed as another beatnick nerd but he looked hot in leather pants and was willing to be crude to entertain. People who don't like the movie probably did not read the book it was based on either lots of the accounts are by Ray who knew him very well.

Ray was definitely 'the brains' behind the group, Jim was the raw talent. Perfect combo.

Yes i agree

Dump the darkness, just radiate your own light.

I lived like Jim almost 2 yrs ,and i survived 27 ,but still in my heart is all that freedom what i lived...

U might just be an empath. It would be worth a little but of searching into

I totally relate and empathise to this. Its good to know other people fee like this too

No Val cares if he dies the next day were you not even listening? Personally I don't know how "self destructive" Jim intended to be just 20 somethings feel immortal and do risky things sometimes I think. Thank God for the music they left though I say. The Stones The Beatles etc. both big then but the The Doors were all American and Jim was a poet and icon and won't be forgotten.

He was a military brat probably learned discipline that way from his Dad.

LOL

joepoeta You Betcha

joepoeta FILM SUCKED! HE ACTED NOTHING LIKE JIM!

Frank Hernandez probably more the fault of Oliver Stone though!

JDM motorsports

Ray Manzerek himself said the real Jim Morrison was nothing like Val Kilmer's portrayal

Don't need to know him personally. People have still done their homework.

@@MrParkerman6 I know I have

Exactly there are people who say he was nothing like that, and there are people who say he’s worse. The movie did a great job of showing both sides of dark subject matter, for better or for worse. This depiction is much more than surface level, a treatment a lot stars with bipoics don’t get.

Well ... it was directed by Stone and Jim was a very intelligent guy and he really had only one true love. So it prob wasn't an accurate portrait.

No film that came out 20+ years after the actual events took place is going to be 100% accurate. Plus, you're got how many different views of the accounts of that person's life? They'll all come from thier perspective and one person may or may not remember the exact events for whatever reason. I don't doubt Oliver Stone threw in some things to make the film story run better as well. It happens.

@@nnmuz-kt9wk HOW did my comment give you that impression? Learn how to read, you uneducated loser. I'm simply supporting what Ray Manzarek said, which is to ignore the movie.

@@gerryhall7601 JFK and Doors should have had more realistic aspects to both films. Both films from stone were plain awful and full of inaccuracies. Even Ray Manzarek said Doors movie it full of lies. Oliver Stone is a good director but he shouldn't have made these two films. JFK there was no conspiracy, Lee Harvey Oswald did it.

Ray Manzarek said that wasn't Jim onscreen. Nuff said! The problem wasn't Val though. Problem was the script sucked and was very inaccurate!

Who gives a fuck what Oliver Stone said, he's very overrated.

OS is only great in his mind. Jim was Jim. this film was ridiculously forgettable

And now it has...he had a tracheotomy.

He was at least 32 here.... Young?

Lauren Loukinen He was born 59 and the Doors film he’s talking about was made 91 so he’s probably a bit older than 32

Brian Inglis Mind your own business loser.

@@xploration1437 Fuck off moron.

You are a heathen!

Okay boomer!

he REALLY was

PERIODT

If you had met him, or had the awful experience working with him, seeing what a diva, racist asshole he really is you would see how ugly he really is. Rotten human being. Can’t stand the guy.

@@CaptainMyCaptain33 that’s a shame. I heard of the nightmare reputation, during Dr Moreau and Batman in particular. Did you meet or work with him?

Oliver Stone's has always been a good director

Film was rubbish 🗑

Agreed.

I like Tom and Tom respects Val they were in Top Gun together and Tom said Tombstone is one of the most under rated performances of all time. I think Val was sexier but I still think Tom has a good work ethic and has given some amazing performances.

They’re boyfriends stop comparing

Hollywood snobbery, Phil.

Snowflakes of today don't give a fuck about context. Every fucking cunt is just looking to be offended.

@@thomasanderson5929 Whereas a girl like you will snow avalanche in any insult.

he said it in context he didn't just say it to say it or cal anyone that

Viggo Mortensen said in a Q&A after a screening of Green Book and he got called out.

I know! The good old days when we could use the N word freely. I miss those days! 🙄

Good for you!

yeah he really did, alot of people thought the same

MrSmokeydog me too

MrSmokeydog me as well

His face was very close but his body was different. Morrison had skinny legs & a skinny ass. Kilmer's legs & ass were stocky.

No wasn't talking about the sex scene.
