Jim Morrison - The Movie

Last week-end, I saw, maybe for the tenth time, Oliver Stone’s biography of Jim Morrison and The Doors (1991). The movie is really enjoyable even if it has the limit of a documentary and Val Kilmer is excellent. One thing that bothers me a little is why Mister Stone called his movie The Doors instead of Jim Morrison – The Movie. It is obvious that all along this feature film you mainly follow Morrison, the writer, the poet, the alcoholic… The band - The Doors - is behind Jim and is only the music vehicle for his writing. Jim Morrison doesn’t really care about the music, as the lead singer of a band who never plays any instrument, he only wants to read his poems, his prayers.
This year, Warner celebrates the 40th anniversary of The Doors first album : “All Six of The Doors’ Studio Masterpieces, the brand new 40th Anniversary mixes, remastered and expanded to include bonus outtakes and other bonus material are now available for the first time as single disc releases. All six studio albums are newly mixed as supervised by The Doors and Bruce Botnick, their original engineer/ co-producer.”
