Definitive history of The Doors

Writer/director Tom DiCillo was able to gain access to original footage shot from 1966-71 by Paul Ferrara, a UCLA Film School buddy of flamboyant lead singer Jim Morrison. Those old, grainy films are all that were needed to make this stunning documentary -- no modern-day or additional footage was shot.

The dramatic voice-over was provided by Johnny Depp who, in a statement from DiCillo read prior to the screening, was the one person the filmmakers felt qualified to narrate the movie. It had to be someone with a passion for the music of The Doors, and Depp fit the bill.

With the assistance of the remaining living members, particularly band co-founder and keyboardist Ray Manzarek (who sat in front of me), the film is destined to be the definitive chronicle of the band's history. We finally discover the shocking truth behind the curious myths -- did Morrison really expose his genitals at that infamous Florida concert? Did he fake his own death? "When You're Strange" separates fact from fiction and puts to rest the many rumors surrounding the manic life and untimely death of Jim Morrison. The heretofore secret details behind the making of each amazing album (one took 11 months, another took less than a week) are mind-boggling. Naturally, there's plenty of music. Tons of it.

Bez Prevoda.

Rej Manzarek (hamond orgulje, klavijature) je preminuo tokom proleća ove (2013.) godine. Od originalnih članova slavne grupe, ostali su još samo Robi Kriger (solo gitara) i Džon Denzmor (bubnjevi). Dorsi su bili prvi američki intelektualni rok bend. Zanimljiv i zbog toga što nisu imali klasičnog bas gitaristu. Džim Morison (Lizard King, Mr. Mojo Rising) bio je zaista pokretačka snaga benda! Prerano je napustio ovaj svet (previše alkohola i droge) i ušao u legendu koja će trajati večno! Dorsi su bili i ostali, jedan od meni najdražih i najboljih bendova ikada!
