I saw When You're Strange on Sunday night. I wasn't expecting much - although I love the Doors, sometimes I dismiss Jim Morrison as boorish, overhyped. He wasn't - he was a magical frontman and the film is a marvelous testament to the band. Full of unseen before footage, his poems, deftly woven concert excerpts and snippets of short films, it is all narrated by Johnny Depp and his whisky voice. It made me sad too, want to do more, care more, have more fun, be more free, make beautiful things, be part of a time where people weren't so materialistic and complacent.
“I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos - especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom… Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical”- Jim Morrison
