Be careful. The film certainly took cinematic liberties with Stone at the helm, and the surviving members of The Doors were critical of the group's portrayal. That said, despite Jim's obvious intellect and artistic qualities, the guy was a documented fucking nightmare. By his own admission, he was an addict. First to food in his college years, and later, alcohol and all manner of drugs. Your comment reminds me of those who idolize Kurt Cobain in hindsight. Was he an exceptional talent? Absolutely. He crafted some of the most iconic songs and albums of 20th century pop music. Though it's amusing to me whenever I see KZread commenters say of his clips, "You see? Kurt was so funny when he was clean!" Newsflash: Cobain wasn't clean ANY significant length of time basically from the time Nevermind broke to the time of his death. He was a hopeless addict.

Maybe it was an OD, but it didn't happen at some club in a bathroom where his friends then tried to sneak his corpse back to the house. You make it sound like "Weekend at Bernie's."

I live in Los Angeles and ran into Ray at a DVD store on Pico Blvd. called Laser Blazer back in the early 2000s. I would go there every Tuesday to load up on new releases. I saw someone with their back to me with a stack of DVDs that matched mine and made some offhanded comment that I can't exactly remember. He turned around and we started talking about film and the whole time I was thinking to myself, "Oh my God, I'm talking to a legend." I finally worked up the nerve and said, "I'm a big fan of your music." He was very gracious and we continued to talk about film and "Jimbo" and his refusal to watch the movie _The Doors_ because he felt like it didn't honor the memory of Jim and heard it made him look like a drunken buffoon. I told him it was sloppy but that I liked it because it inspired me and a lot of others to really get deeper into the Doors and their music. He appreciated that, but was still bitter towards Stone. We talked about when he knew it was over, when the spirit had left Jim. He seemed very protective of him, like an older brother. Anyway, his wife Dorothy finally walked up, he introduced her and they left. Sweet guy.

Shaman, cosmic trickster, introspective and other worldly. His passing left us waiting and wondering his death as mysterious and baffling as the incredible enigma that was Morrison himself.

Jim wasn't bering rebellious when he said "higher" on the Ed Sullivan show. He swore that he was just so nervous that he forgot to change the lyric. It was his first time on national TV and he was a very shy person. He once sang with his back to the audience because he was insecure.

I can tell you 100 stories of me drunk but the 14600 others days I was not drunk. Stone took the 3-4 shows where things goes bad and done a movie with that. But there is about 200 shows where everythings goes well...

I was not even born when Jim Morrison was alive but for sure his spirit, soul and poetry live within my soul and underneath my subconscious. I can not stop watching his videos and analyzing his lyrics. They reflect his most intense truth about real life. His View of life and reality its reflected on his poetry yet the reality from back then till today still applies. "We are searching for something that already exist." James Douglas Morrison beautiful writing with a haunting tune. How to forget such intense beauty that not everyone understand...

liliana Morrison wow, that is incredible. I was a teenager in 1967 when I first heard the Doors. Music and the world had changed forever at that time and first hearing Morrison’s voice was intoxicating. Fifty years later I feel exactly the same way about Morrison that you do. I also believe him to be in some ways an eternal soul, the anima mundi that Jung speaks of, the romantic poet, shaman, cosmic trickster. The music and his poetry is so deep beautiful and haunting I return to it every few years and have a new appreciation of the genius insight and beauty that was Jim Morrison

I heard an interview where Jim actually said a movie is a third or forth interpretation of the story....the guy was smart.

Anyway I really like the movie It was such a experience cause I was born in the latest 70s and the movie inspired me to get the doors tapes and cds😀😀😀👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎😎😎✌🏼

Thank you for a very interesting video. Jim Morrison was very shy, hence standing tall, staring straight into the wall, Eyes closed. Oliver Stone created a more " expressive" stage persona.

Back in 1991 when we didn't have KZread comparison videos and it was just a great movie...

Thanks for posting, great editing 👍

Saw John densmore give a lecture at a university years ago when asked about the film he said he doesnt remember any naked women ever on stage lol he also feels like the film was Oliver stones fantasy about what it would be like to be Morrison instead of who Jim really was and oh by the way Jim never locked pam in a closet and set it on fire Jim wasnt a monster

Did anyone else notice half of kilmers dialogue was reciting Jim’s lyrics and poetry?

The Doors will ALWAYS be one of my most all time favorite movies in the world. It electrified me when I saw it in the Cinema opening weekend. It changed my life. It was meant to be...💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙

Great job researching and editing!!

Amazing performance by Kilmer tbh and i say that as a lifelong Doors fan. ye ye i know some of the character was off and some of it was overplayed but it was a piece designed by stone to portray the chaos and disorder and i think Kilmer did that perfectly tbh

Saw the movie when it first came out and I was shocked how close to Jim, Val Kilmer portrayed him especially the singing. When the other Doors were interviewed after the movie came out, they said when they were on set watching Val come into the room, he immediately channeled Jim and it gave them chills everytime he did a scene. Like it was Jim come to life. The comparisons were very cool to watch and yes there were dramatic licenses made, that happens in all movies. But it was very close to real life. Additionally, when Val does the movements on stage, that IS how Jim moved a lot of the time. He was an alcoholic and a druggie and acted out his addiction and frustrated reluctant rock star antics. I loved this movie. Brought me closer to understanding the man more. And that is my take on it.

Well put!! A lot of people don't focus much on the fact that Jim had serious drug & alcohol issues. He was still just a kid, probably over whelmed with stardom and no guidance, many of us would probably end up dying young. The doors made more of an impact in 5 years than most bands will ever make. Still my favorite band ever!!!!!

I'm not fan of The Doors and I haven't seen this movie yet. But from this comparison, I feel that the real Jim Morrison is calmer and soulful...The actor portrayed him as someone crazy and full of stress. It's hard to play Jim Morrison I think, his eyes, his face..expressed something between dream and reality.( Sorry for my poor English. And I just saw few videos of The Doors' performances)

The movie was great, because I never saw The Doors concert in person. so great job on the movie.

Jim Morrison is one of the few people who were more attractive than the actor that played them onscreen

Just listening to the real Jim voice, gives me the chills in a haunting good way!!(:

The real sequences were much more quiet than those of the movie. Sometimes people (in this case very good people) of Cinema should pay more attention and look much at the history of a representantion than at the mere show such a movie is able to give.

Nothing in Rock n Roll history beats that iconic performance on the Ed Sullivan show by The Doors. Nothing.

Val Kilmer BECAME Morrison. Years after seeing the movie for the first time It was difficult not to think of Val Kilmer whenever The Doors played on the radio.

He was just nearly NOTHING like Jim in this idiotic but entertaining piece of fiction.

Jim Morrison is one, but Val kilmer is a very good actor...

I think I saw this movie when I was like 13. The music drew me in (especially The End, one of the best songs ever made if you ask me). While the movie has it’s flaws, I’m glad it introduced me to The Doors at an early age.

Good work bro! Well done! Thanks

@1:33 I started feeling like I was tripping on acid.

At 1:00 in January 1967, the real, still straitish Jim looks like he had yet to "break on through to the other side."

The film reveals what it might have felt like, the sense of the 1960 s a time that would never repeat itself a time of free love in response to the Vietnam War and the Cuban missile crisis, The Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr and JFK. It was really the time and era of the birth of transcendental music in combination of this massive movement that was changing the world.

fantastic work !

dimitreze, great job! Thanks!

Nice video anyway.. however about the movie Manzarek once said during an interview that the movie (1991) didn't seem to be about Jim Morrison and the Doors but about Jimbo the drunk

I really hope they remake this movie. If told properly, it would monumental.

I love Oliver Stone but the Jim of this movie is a caricature with all rock star clichés and some events in the movie are pure fiction. At least I discovered the Doors music with it.

I never seen this before thanks for sharing

I will forever give thanks to Oliver Stone for turning me on to The Doors but like most people having seen all the available footage of Jim it's clearly not the most accurate portrayal & I like most people are waiting for someone to take another whack at The Doors.

Val Kilmer's portrayal was brilliant.

I had seen the real Light My Fire TV bit before seeing the movie and when I saw the movie, I was like "He didn't put the HIGHER part in their face like that" He just sang it as per normal.

Don't forget Val kimer also sang all of the songs in the movie

Kilmer's version of The End is very cool - Far out !! ;-)

Morrison has such a richer baritone & higher quality timbre than Kilmer this video highlights it, I mean he did a good job for an actor but I can't believe Oliver Stone or anyone else couldn't tell the difference between their voices it's plainly obvious to me... part of the hype I guess "we couldn't tell! Val is amazing! blah blah" it's nonsense. Kilmer was burned by a bad script & Oliver's desire for a one dimensional Jim Morrison Monster.. it's a shame a generation of people regard this as a true depiction of Morrison.

Spot on man, not only that but made Ray seem like a jealous, commercial do gooder. When you watch that movie you feel like the rest of them hated Morrison's guts.

Great video.

Val did a fantastic job to all you haters, how can anyone be the same as Jimbo?

Val's portrayal is so ridiculous to real Jim Morrison.

Based on what I have read, interviews that I have heard, video footage and his close friends anecdotes. I don’t think Morrison’s dependency was even an issue. The sad thing is there was very little help given to Morrison to address the dependency problems not any type of pathway for an intervention of some sort. Hence, like many others of that era, an early death was always likely to be on the cards.

Val did a great homage ✌ Nobody could ever portray Jim 100% Morrison's mould was broken after his creation & never to be repeated....

Amazing I am reading Val Kilmer's new book 'I'm Youre Huckleberry ' I highly recommend for the Jim Morrison's fans! The DOORS Forever !!! Thank you excellent video !!!

seems like val was way more into it than jim was

val kilmer looks like jim and sings like jim. amazin

The lizard King 🔥🔥🔥

The Jim's smiles is unbeatable

Jim Morrison was profound, brilliant and had an IQ of a genius, yet he could be an asshole, and disgraced himself constantly. He could be a monster and an Angel. “I consider myself an intelligent sensitive human being with the heart of a clown that makes me blow it at the most crucial moments.” Jim Morrison, you all should read Life Death Legend.
