help The Doors FAQ
How closely does The Doors follow Jim Morrison's real life?
Oliver Stone's 1991 film follows the rise of The Doors and Val Kilmer's version of Jim Morrison, but it compresses events and dramatizes relationships. Morrison died in Paris in 1971, which gives the film's story a clear historical endpoint.
Who plays Jim Morrison and the other Doors members?
Val Kilmer plays Jim Morrison, Kyle MacLachlan plays Ray Manzarek, Frank Whaley plays Robby Krieger and Kevin Dillon plays John Densmore. Meg Ryan plays Pamela Courson, Morrison's longtime partner.
Which Doors songs appear in The Doors?
The soundtrack uses major Doors songs such as Light My Fire, The End and Break On Through to the Other Side. The film uses those performances to mark the band's movement from 1960s club shows to large-scale fame.
Does The Doors cover the whole band's history?
It covers the band's rise in the 1960s and ends around Morrison's death, rather than giving equal space to the group's later history. The focus is Morrison's public image and self-destruction, with the 1967 debut album era as a major turning point.
