Movie Reviews of Doors Are Open
Movie Review: Hot in Black and White
Summary: 4 Stars
Even though "The Doors Are Open" is a made-for-TV documentary of an indoor show, it shows The Doors performing in a raw and gritty manner in what is literally a "heated" atmosphere. They sweat profusely during their performance, most conspicuously lead singer Jim Morrison in his white shirt. When he howls out the lyrics to "Backdoor Man," he is the apotheosis of raunchy intensity. The fact that the filming is in black and white only serves to magnify the hard-core aura of the performance.
The Doors dish out their hard-rock songs "Five to One," "The Unknown Soldier," and "When the Music's Over" as if to satisfy a craving conjured up by the film's introductory statement that the group shows "what they are against rather than what they are for." Various rioting, revolutionary, and reactionary video footage is interspersed within the performances of songs, but particularly during those three. Also, The Doors field some questions from interviewers in close-up filming.
Guitarist Robby Krieger's songs "Light My Fire" and "Spanish Caravan" are also performed in a heavy-set manner. "Light My Fire" sounds perhaps out of key and is often more harsh than pretty. In the instrumental interlude, the camera follows Jim dancing and journeying all around the stage, and off, performing some acrobatics and offering ladies the mike. In the "Unknown Soldier" Jim does his standard collapse after Robby Krieger's "gunfire" from his guitar. The film shows Jim is really soaking by this time.
The Doors played "Break on Through" in their Roundhouse shows, but unfortunately it is not included here. However, the songs they did play really boiled over. The Sun the group was Waiting For was certainly here in this performance. With their next album, the group chose to Parade More Softly.
