In 1967, I went back to the aunt and uncle's farm in iowa.
was trooping around with the 8 year older cousin, and
fell in love with my first song: Light My Fire.
I was perfectly fine with Oliver Stone's "The Doors."
AND, my gf had "Walk the Line" for six months, and when we
finally watched it, I thought it was excellent.
Reese Witherspoon is OUTSTANDING. Joaquin Phoenix nails it, too.
Worst case: you see it once, and perhaps learn a factoid you didn't know.
That's one of the bright spots; I think it was fairly faithful to the story.
