      Genius is not for compliment

      If someone tells you that you are a genius, remember, don't believe him.

      Heaven is jealous of talents. Throughout the ages, no one has ever heard that a genius is long-lived.

      Chinese people often say that five blessings come, one of which is longevity.

      It can be said that Chinese people do not worship genius in their bones.

      And in the face of Jim Morrison, I think, no matter how aloof people will be crazy about it.

      He has this charisma, especially when he's on...

      "The Doors": Drunk and Dreaming

      http://blog.trivialfilm.com/2012/08/the-doors.html


      The Doors (1991)

      A film that the Doors (1991) watched to learn about the Doors. This is because Glee rewatched S01E14, and one of the songs he sang was "Hello, I Love You" by The Doors.

      Although the name of the film is called "The Door", it actually tells the story of the band's lead singer, Jim Morrison. The film begins with Jim Morrison's hallucinations after his parents' car accident, and then when Jim...

      Light My Fire

      After watching "The Doors", I liked it very much after I jumped and watched a few performance scenes in it. And the more I like things, the more I hate to see them. Finally finished it today. It's over, I'm obsessed with The Doors, I'm obsessed with Jim Morrison, but not in the same world.

      Jim Morrison's life is like a fire, and the movie shows it more intensely. Watching the real Youtube video, he doesn't seem to be so exaggerated on stage. In short, it feels like his life is like a...

      Ride the Snake...

      After watching The Doors, I don't think I got a lot of new information from the plot. Val Kilmer's interpretation of Jim Morrison is quite different from what I imagined, and the shape and personality make me feel a bit like Jerry Jerry...

      Look at Morrison's photos, read his biography, listen to The Doors' music, and think Morrison He is an introverted and even somewhat withdrawn poet. And Morrison in the movie is flamboyant, rebellious, and unruly. In fact, this kind of character and...

      I really like the songs of the doors, so I came to see it. In fact, it is just to realize several major events in Morrison's life by means of a running account. The movie is very...

    Movie quotes

    • Jim Morrison: [to the audience] Adolf Hitler is alive and well and living in Miami! I fucked her last night!

    • [during their peyote trip in the desert]

      Jim Morrison: Close your eyes. We'll see the snake; see the serpent appear. His head is ten feet long and five feet wide. He has one red eye and one green eye. He's seven miles long. Deadly. I see all the history of the world on his scales, all people, all actions. We're all just little pictures on his scales. God, he's big, he's moving, devouring consciousness, digesting power. Monster of energy. It's a monster. We're going to kiss the snake on the tongue. Kiss the serpent. But if it senses fear, it'll eat us instantly. But if we kiss it without fear, it'll take us through the garden, through the gate, to the other side. Ride the snake... until the end of time.

      John Densmore: I think I'm fucked up, man. I'm not thinking right.

      [Jim tilts his head back and laughs lazily]

      John Densmore: Look at your eyes, man... your death.

    • Tom Baker: [to Jim] You're bored, you're not free. You tested all the limits - fame, fucking, money - whatcha gonna do when your music's over, Jim? When you're too fat and old to go out on stage, whatcha gonna do for act three - puke on Heaven's door?
