Just when you forget how amazing Jim Morrison was, in all of his insanity, a documentary like this comes around and hits you on the head and reminds you.
Narrated by the cool, calm, and collected Johnny Depp (swoon), this documentary delves not so much into the past of any members of the band on their own, but addresses events from the group's formations to their ending after the unfortunate death of Morrison. The documentary is very Morrison-centric, though. How could it not be?
Their story is told through colorful footage of their (mostly) failed concerts and seemingly endless recording sessions. I never claimed to be a Doors scholar, but I thought I knew a thing or two. This documentary did a good job of challenging what I thought I knew and reinforcing me just enough to feel good about my rock 'n roll knowledge.
Also, I never knew that MR MOJO RISIN are all of the letters in the name JIM MORRISON. Am I just totally late on that one?
