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!!!!

Even as a casual fan, I could tell the film was bullocks when I saw it for the first time decades ago. Just Morrison saying "yeah" with a sneer after "couldn't get much higher" on the Ed Sullivan clip---never happened! That was put in for dramatic effect to make the moment seem more rebellious than it really was! And that was just ONE example, but one most obvious when you saw the original clip!

Its sad, a lot of ppl from my generation grew up with that movie , and were programed as a kid . We see him as Val, another Kid Rock, not the guy who asked for the complete works of Niche instead of a car for his graduation present.

They should make a new Doors movie so Jim can enchant a whole new generation. Jim represents freedom and understanding all of life is an illusion.

Excellent video, I have two points that I would like to know more about. What about the supposed baby that Patricia had? and there is an interview with Alice Cooper where he mentions that those palnalones were stinky, "you could smell Jim approaching", i think that part was real.

I love the Doors, but this movie sucked!!

If you think Ollie Stone took creative license with this movie, you should consider the complete factual account he gave of the film "JFK."

Jim Morrison doesn't deserve to have his reputation and image destroyed by a director who obviously didn't like Jim Morrison and the Doors.

Jim Morrison is a GOD! He's my GOD!!!

Jim Morrison/The Doors are my favorite singer/group/music. Val Kilmer is my favorite actor. The Doors, my absolute favorite movie in the world!!!!!!

42:05 Alcohol _is_ a drug. It's bemusing how society has framed it as anything different.

Jim Morrison was a genius with a 149 iq. Yes he could get out of control when drunk but at his core Jim was a good man who died way too soon. A brilliant poet, lyricist, songwriter, artist and filmmaker. Out of all artists who died young I miss Jim the most.

I don't believe Oliver Stone intended to portray Jim Morrison as a jerk. As a dramatist, Stone revered Morrison and depicted him as he saw him, flaws and all, while still showcasing his genius.

Nice work. Thank you for this.

Ive been scared of gingers after seeing pam. Damn poor guy was afraid being alone. I woke up saw my girls red curly locks drugs all strewn about realized what he said so i ran never went back.

Excellent job on this video. I interviewed Ray a handful of times back in the day and once I asked him about the movie. He said (might not be verbatim) "It looked great, the songs were great, but everything else was wrong." It would have been interesting had Ray had a chance to direct the film.

Thank you for this. It presented Jim Morrison for what he actually WAS. A beautiful young man, extraordinary gifted and sensitive, who had a serious problem with alcohol and the demons that drinking evidently brought out in him. The film really did his legacy a disservice with its portrayal of him,imo.😢

I knew it from the start - And so i give my honest comment to this on the KZbin-Moviesite - Now i'm so proud to have the evidence - Jim was a honered Man - And People who read this - Please notice: I was never a Fan of him 🔱

You use the words inaccurate..Oliver stone never said it was accurate..it's not a documentary..it's a dramatic representation of the doors and jim!

John Densmore is such a class act. When I 1st started to discover The Doors as a teen in the early 90s, I viewed Densmore as a dorky square who was just lucky; outta place. As I've grown & matured, John is actually the member I respect the most. His words & actions seemingly imply & humble, good guy. Also, he was a perfectly integral part of the band...as necessary as Morisson in crafting The Doors.

Excellent!

Its very difficult watching any Millennial commentary on a time they just cant understand. When this film came out no one thought he was portrayed as an arsehole. It was seen as real and gritty. Toxicity was very normalised back then. You look and see an abusive addict. We saw a passionate imperfect rock star. Context is EVERYTHING. I wish that you young un would understand that.
