0:00
know if it it was presented like that in
0:01
the movie, you know, in the Dors movie,
0:04
uh, Oliver Stone movie. Uh, but, uh,
0:07
yeah, Stone at least got the they got
0:09
the beard. They removed the beard. They
0:11
at least got that right.
0:12
Ah, okay. Okay. You do you have
0:14
contradictions in that movie since you
0:17
know a lot a lot of stuff from the
0:20
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, I
0:23
think Stone I'm on the record as saying
0:25
I believe Oliver Stone is an amazing
0:28
Yeah. I mean, I could never make a movie
0:30
like he could do. I'm just a documentary
0:32
filmmaker. You know, it's very different
0:35
Hollywood biopics, you know.
0:38
But as brilliant as I think Stone was, I
0:40
just, you know, it's just my opinion,
0:42
but I don't feel that his brilliant
0:44
gifts were really put to use on the
0:45
Doors movie. Um, and that's a shame. You
0:48
know, what he did with JFK I thought was
0:50
incredible. Um, and other movies. you
0:54
you think it was not true to the facts
0:58
Well, I mean, put it this way, I can sum
1:00
it up rather succinctly. Um, Alan Ron
1:06
was one of Jim's closest friends going
1:11
And Renee and I met for uh 9 and a half
1:21
and uh, long story short, uh, Ron told
1:24
me a story of how he he Rona had been
1:27
hired as a consultant for the Oliver
1:32
And, you know, you had to sign I think
1:35
you had to like sign in and out when you
1:37
would take the script away from the the
1:40
studio, you know, or whatever. Yeah.
1:42
At any rate, uh, Renee told me that one
1:44
day he marched onto the sound stage and
1:47
he had a copy of the script, you know,
1:48
in his hand and he marches in there and
1:51
he and he went right up to Oliver Stone
1:52
and he said something, you know, to the
1:55
effect of, "Why are you not telling the
1:56
truth about Jim, who he really was, and
1:59
he said that Stone just broke into a big
2:04
And he said, "Because the truth doesn't
2:10
that's what Rona told me. I wasn't
2:12
there, but I don't know why he would
2:15
And you know, again, to Stone's credit,
2:17
he wasn't making a documentary.
2:19
He was making a fictional, you know, his
2:21
version of Jim's life and
2:22
Yeah. A lot of artistic liberty.
2:25
Yeah. V Kilmer was amazing there, of
2:28
Yeah. I think I think Val did an amazing
2:30
job with what he had to work with, you
2:33
it's just a shame. There was so much
2:34
more to Jim than just the rockar, you
2:37
know, the Lizard Kings. And that was the
2:40
biggest goal for me in making my docky
2:43
I feel that Jim has just been turned
2:46
into a commodity, you know, he's been
2:48
turned into a poster on a wall.
2:50
You know, or a marble bust on a
2:52
gravestone, you know.
2:54
Yeah. Yeah. He's become dehumanized.
