THE DOORS
“The Doors,” a biographical film about the legendary rock band, is known for its vivid portrayal of the 1960s and 1970s. However, even this visually stunning film has its share of historical inaccuracies. One notable error involves Val Kilmer’s character, Jim Morrison, who is seen wearing Ray-Ban sunglasses that weren’t released until a decade after the events of the film. This anachronism, though minor, is a reminder of the challenges filmmakers face when trying to accurately recreate historical periods.
Despite these errors, “The Doors” remains a cinematic triumph that continues to be celebrated for its powerful performances and vivid portrayal of the era. The film’s attention to detail and realistic portrayal of the rock and roll lifestyle have earned it a place in the biographical film canon, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre.
