Welcome to the start of a brand new month here on We Drink & We Watch Things! For the next few weeks, we're dedicating ourselves to the enigmatic and undeniably talented Val Kilmer, and we're starting at the very beginning (a very good place to start) with Oliver Stone's electric and controversial biopic, The Doors. Grab your drink, light your metaphorical (or literal, no judgment) candle, and prepare to delve into the Lizard King.
This week, we're not just watching a movie; we're immersing ourselves in Kilmer's transformative performance as Jim Morrison. We'll be dissecting his intense portrayal, Stone's signature visual style, and the film's exploration of music, fame, addiction, and the counterculture of the 1960s. Expect a conversation that touches on the accuracy (or lack thereof) of the film, the power of Kilmer's embodiment of Morrison, and the enduring legacy of The Doors' music.
Whether you're a die-hard Doors fan, a Kilmer enthusiast, or just curious about this iconic and often debated film, join us as we begin our journey through the fascinating career of Val Kilmer. We're blending our cinematic insights with our usual conversational style, making this a groovy start to our month-long tribute. Come on, baby, light our fire! (I couldn't resist, y'all.)
