Very nicely done, thank you.

Would love to hear some more door history and lore. Excellent video.

Great video 👏🏻

Val was perfect as jim. One of many problems i had, was the actor playing Ray, he didn't look like ray or sound even. He has a huge jaw, chubby face, ray doesn't look like that. And Oliver made jim look like a drunk psychopath. Then everyone with fake wigs and beards. Why couldn't Olivier just tell them to grow your hair and beards. Really bad props😅smh.. I didn't like the film, few cool scenes, but it was rubbish. I'm still waiting on a REAL, film about the doors. Kinda like what they did with Bohemian Rhapsody.

Like most movies that take on rock ‘n’ roll history, liberty’s are taken, and I’m sure the truth falls somewhere in between… as you said. Movies and their stories are generally made for the lowest common denominator. Meaning that, they have to account for minute to minute peaks and valleys. To keep people interested and watching. Munching down that popcorn. Even Oliver Stone in a interview said that it’s because of theaters that movies have been dumbed down. Because of social media that stories take a backseat to action. Because people are so used to 30 second clips boiling any moment down to the conclusion of the action… That any dialogue in between will be seen as a down moment and one that could easily spark boredom or somebody picking up their phone in the middle of the movie to watch a couple 30 second clips. Lol. Theaters want to maximize their profits, therefore they don’t want movies to be over 90 to 100 minutes long. So they can show it more times a day and make more money on the ticket, the concessions and any other way they can squeeze money out of the people watching. I’m convinced that they could make a movie with 90 minutes of action with zero dialogue and modern viewers would be happy. Just a bunch of stuff blowing up and people being slaughtered. Possibly a car race or two… 😂

What's the music playing over this vid called please?

Although I was very young, I do remember the doors when they were active. In fact, I remember when it was announced that Morrison had died. My father and I were driving in his 69 Volkswagen station wagon. I was aware of them and knew their hits, but I didn't become a serious fan, and I mean serious fan, until early 1979. So, by the time this movie came out in 1991, I had already read all the books and seen whatever few documentaries had been made on Morrison and the Doors. I had approached my research like the young journalist I was at the time. I was passionate about the subject matter, and did my research over the years. By the time this movie came out, I wasn't a fly-by-night regarding the life of James Douglas Morrison. I have to admit, I had high expectations for the film at the time. I thought Kilmer looked great as Morrison, I had heard how he had immersed himself in the role, and the trailers looked good. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out as I had expected. I agree with Manzarek when it comes to this movie. Morrison came off as a wild man and a complete idiot. I found the film to be a complete disappointment. Although I like Val Kilmer as an actor, I did not like him as Morrison. I found him to be bland in the part. I saw the movie in Secaucus, NJ, the day it was released. I never had any desire to watch it again.

Amazing job! Thanks for this video. I'm a big Doors music fan but never really dove into their personal lives... But from interviews I'd seen from Jim and other real people describing him, he seemed like an intelligent and sensitive guy... I saw the Oliver Stone movie for the first time today. I felt like some of it had to be over-the-top and Googled. I'm glad to see that he indeed wasn't a terrible person as portrayed in the movie.

Treating him like he’s a God, this life style is nothing but bad influence, Hollywood is a bad influence in many ways.

So, two band members were in on the film. Why wasn't more of the real Jim Morrison shown?? Did they not consult at all?

I can’t stand that thanksgiving scene! This movie was such a disservice to The Doors 🤦🏼‍♀️

2 and a half hours. This movie is simultaneously too fast and too damn slow. How can a movie do so much yet so little?

Es normal que se utiliza libre albeldrio" en la movie.para poder mostrar ka vida de una estrella de música!! Dónde quedaría la vida de Ozzy osburne??????

very intresting as the movie was powerful and mesmerizing. I would like to also know about his family of origin and the last few months in Paris.

A drunken and faux intellectual/poet who used antics to cover his lack of talent. This "oh, he was just so deep" persona was not hard to present with the absent of discernment generation, setting the stage and format for many who follow this pattern.

I get it that Stone made Morrison look like a narcissistic prick but are you SURE that’s all fabricated? Some of the groupies as well as JANIS JOPLIN thought he had a dark, cruel side. Seems like you’re going into OT trying to vindicate him.

Regarding the leather pants, Robby Krieger did say in a Reddit AMA that Morrison wore his leather pants for weeks on end without any underwear. (Someone had asked him what Jim smelled like)

I’ll always enjoy the movie visually and a dramatic story about rock and roll but not as a bio. Same way I feel about the Bo Rhapsody movie.

Updates: Even though Robby Krieger claims he played bass guitar on the song Twentieth Century Fox, I have been told of the existence of a recording contract for Larry Knechtel to record bass on this song. So, it is very likely Larry Knechtel played bass on Twentieth Century Fox, not Robby Krieger. There is a lot of debate about when and where the song L'America was recorded. Even though Jerry Scheff is the only bass player credited on the L.A. Woman album, it is very possible that song was recorded in 1969 or 1970 with a different bass player.

Maybe it was Oliver Stone that was dropping Acid while writing the films script

Well done.

"EGO's".. Will always be Human... Unfortunately.

Loads of people under 40 think val kilmer is Jim Morrison... they don't realise that the real Jim Morrison wore the same leather pants for a year and smelled like a wolf's pussy... and he was a filthy fucking animal, stinky hobo living in fleabag motels frequently arrested for vagrancy as he would collapse in the gutter covered in his own piss and sick...they think he was val kilmer and everything is groovy and great and I just conditioned my hair...

The Keyboards and Guitar are nailing it - really the whole band

As a Doors - I really think they are doing a Great Job -

Making up so much fiction about Jim, the band members, their father etc is pure evil. Their legacies are being shat upon just to make some money. Oliver Stone is a much more horrible person than we realize. Could you lie so grossly about so many people TO so many people?

The Doors movie captured nothing of Jim's real character. That of an extremely intelligent, exceedingly well read, articulate, perceptive human being, who also happened to be beautiful, had a voice like molten gold, wrote the most incredible lyrics since Bob Dylan and was the most fantastic and dramatic front man and performer rock has ever produced

Pretty damn good.

Wait, so youre saying the movie isnt exactly what happened? No way

What a shit movie. Shame Scorsese didn't take it.

I actually enjoyed the movie and used to always watch it with my girl i think val kilmer did a damn good job but i also dont look at it like a documentary

Thank you for this. This is important.

La película es maravillosa, para nuestra generación y porque nuestros padres fueron a un Concierto de The Doors y nosotros no. Oliver Stone es un enorme Director de cine y digamos exaltó algo de Jim, también exaltó y romantizó a Pamela ,si hubiera estado tan enamorada por qué le era infiel y gastaba dinero de Jim? Ella consumía chinawhite h3roin en Paris eso le dió a Jim, mezclado con alcohol imaginen. También se había caído en Paris y le sacaron radiografías en un Hospital de Paris semanas antes Digan las cosas como son y ahora si quieren un documenral al 100 % exacto, que otro director realice otra película biopic ,hay gente que habló de la muerte de Jim en un documental contando qué pasó esa noche. Jim Rockstar artist forever❤❤❤

Hence the reason why When You're Strange, a film about The Doors was made. I recommend it Highly. To me, this movie was the Doors response to Oliver Stone's cinematic crap.

Vinegar pissing comments or what ?

I was in love with Mimi Rogers back then.

This was not worth watching. ITS A MOVIE!!! We know it’s not exact… 😴😴😴No one gives a shit about his pants and shirts Jesus Christ……

I received No One Here Gets Out Alive for Christmas. I didn't listen to The Doors at the time. I always thought they seemed kind of old-fashioned. The local radio station played Touch Me. I thought that sounded like maybe some old Rat Pack kind of music. With that crooner vocal style and lack of electric guitar leads, it seemed old. I found the lyrics disjointed and boring. Something about a promise and something someone said. I guess I was just into 80s commercial metal, Black Sabbath etc. Very different. I read the book on Christmas Eve. After I finished it, I thought Jim kind of reminded me of myself. Even though I was too young to drink. I've heard other people say the same. I was disappointed to learn later that Danny Sugarman wasn't that integral to the band. He was sort of hung around when they let him. He was younger than they. I kind of lost interest in the book and the band. After I saw the Oliver Stone movie I was interested. I was old enough to drink. I identified with the character and sort of combined that information with what I'd read in the book. Jim seemed like a cool guy. I liked the Alabama song. Billy Idol did a cover of LA Woman, which I enjoyed. I got more into The Doors and now I appreciate their music. Stone knows how to tell a compelling story. I get that it's not the actual Jim. I think somewhere on the description it should say, "Not a biography." A lot of writers do that. King does it. The problem is that Stone used really people's names and then exaggerated or fabricated events to tell the story. I think it's a good movie to interest people in the music of The Doors. I watched the movie every night for at least a year. It was part of my ritual. It didn't do them any harm in terms of staying power. But I get it.

I understand the frustration over the movie not truly showing all that Jim was, but there are many "biographical" movies that do not really show who they are depicting. I personally love the movie and never thought of Jim as an a hole after watching it. My perspective was that of a victim of fame and alcohol who just happened to be a very talented person underneath, but i was familiar with the Doors before I saw the movie also.

I haven't seen and now won't be bothering to watch the movie, we have plenty of recording of the Doors and some good copycat bands to watch. 🤗 Hearing Jim talk about modern and Hippy Culture you realizes what an intelligent man he was if he was just a drunk I'm sure the other band members would have sacked him or walked away from the band...

28 minutes into this video, I'm finding this video is WORTHLESS TRASH. The faults your finding include brilliance such as : " Jim was 22 here not 21" or , " this took place in 1967, not 1966" SHUT UP. It's a movie! Obviously a 2 hour or less movie cant introduce minor characters, such as Jim's HITCHHIKING PARTNER. YOUR VIDEO IS TRASH.

Truth be told. RIP Jim Morrison

Gracias por publicar esto ,admiro a Jim y siempre se me hizo injusto la manera como lo retratan .

I’m so glad I did not see this movie as before this movie aired, I already knew that the The Doors were a great band, that Jim Morrison was crazy and a genius, sensitive and charismatic so I don’t need to see an inaccurate movie to learn about The Doors. I am so proud to be a Bruin, like Ray and Jim.

Thank you for setting the record straight.

…I d like to add that what Stone left for the next generations, the kids , is a bad image of Jim Morrison who was a poet, and he is not a bad example but an artist in his own right! So kids don’t go and watch this movie , it’s crap , don’t believe Stone, ever! listen to the Doors, the music, to Jim s lyrics.

I watched the movie when was out and I thought Oliver stone made Jim look like an imbecile…and he wasn’t…I thought too that Oliver should get his head checked! U can see how Ray is angry with Oliver crap movie …and that says it all! The movie is crap.

The American Beatles

The music of The Doors is still unmatched to this day!!!!
