i am against withholding information to people i however gave it the age that i did because someone should be roughly this age in maturity before seeing it (not necessarily this age) they should have knowledge of sex of drugs and of life they should be able to pick out the positive pieces of which there are few admittedly and this film is not good for anyone who has no knowledge of the true jim morrison as this depicts him as a drug addled lunatic also morrison27 jim existed in the doors from their creation it was him and manzarek who came up with the doors because of a chance encounter on a beach in fact i could even go so far as to say that jim was first even before manzarek as he already had the name and the lyrics and some of the melodies so nothing concerned me however this is not for someone with a naive worldview

What Parents Need to Know
About The Doors
Parents need to know that this movie features a lot of sex, drugs, and profanity. There are consequences to bad behavior, namely Jim Morrison's premature demise. Nevertheless, Morrison's life of excess and poetic death are romanticized if not glamorized. There are a few scuffles, some verbal domestic abuse, and sex scenes where the line between sex and abuse is blurry.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the distinction one of the characters makes between using drugs to expand one's mind and using them to escape from responsibilities. Why do people use drugs? How has our knowledge of the long-term effects of these drugs changed since the 1960's?

Its my favorite!!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! Jim Morrison is like, my hero. This movie is excellent, and the casting of Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison is just amazing, he did a wonderful job. The only complaint i have is that, the movie is called The Doors, and it is all about Jim Morrison, if you people make a movie about Jim, call it Jim Morrison, they should have added more content with THE DOORS (although people will argue that The Doors=Jim Morrison, but seriously, get a life. The band at first didn't even have Jim Morrison IN IT. [i do love Jim with all my heart, don't get me wrong, i do])
