A smart observation re manufacturing rock bio movies

Elisabeth Rappe via Facebook in context of seeing THE DOORS for the first time, though this can also apply to the critic-proof, awards-voter-friendly BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY:


In the end, rock biopics are dumb. They need to meld timelines and people to fit the runtime, the surviving members neuter the thing, and it’s just an excuse for an actor to fake-snort drugs and play Cover Band.

The surviving Doors and Jim Morrison's family issue letter on Morrison's posthumous Florida pardon.

Footnote: I was an extra on Oliver Stone's THE DOORS for a couple of occasions in early 1990.  On one of those occasions, the Miami concert where Morrison was accused of exposing himself was re-created at the Olympic Auditorium in Downtown Los Angeles.
