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 fire, burning very vigorously, very intensely, very brightly, and quickly. For me, a long-flowing type, I can only look at it from afar. The scenes in the movie are very psychedelic, I forgot the real world around me when I watched it, I really wanted to follow him and the music to ignite the fire in my heart.

Before, I only thought of him as a rock star, but the film repeatedly emphasizes that he is a poet. This poetic temperament combined with rock star performative indulgence is charming and can kill. Before I was only attracted by the music, now it is necessary to pay attention to the lyrics. And I also know that the gate is taken from the meaning of the gate of perception.

The relationship between Jim and Pam inside also made me tempted. Seeing him just follow Pam all the way to identify her, and then they burn each other, burn out. I saw that they sometimes tortured each other and couldn't leave each other. Alas, that is love.

Interlude: The first time I heard about this movie was N years ago. A small piece of news in a tabloid said that a teacher at an art academy had put "The Gate" in a movie appreciation class, but was protested because it contained Naked footage. It's really N years ago, that's what happened in that era. . . . . .
