I was a teenager in the early 80's when I discovered The Doors and became a huge fan. I appreciate this video in providing closure to the mystery and lack of factual accounts surrounding Morrison's demise.
Oh come on, they were a decent band but at the end of the day, he died a fat alcoholic who thought he was having a massive line of coke but it was smack. Yeah what an hero. If he had got clean, reamerged healthy and then yeah but come on... Then you get silly kids who think it's cool to die a baby at 27.
I had the privilege of visiting Jim’s grave site!! Nothing like I imagined!! But very unique to say the least! Some people come to this world only to stay for a little while! It was also our privilege to get a glimpse of those special people!! I appreciate the opportunity to revisit the life story of Jim Morrison! Thank you!❤
I just started listening to his music in 1970 and a friend was explaining to me how Jim Morrison is the best writer and how he loved his music. Then a year later we heard that he died. What a tragedy to the music scene that was. The friend I'm referring to has also died of a drug overdose last year and I just found out 4 days ago. Thank you, Mark Morris, for introducing me to some great music. RIP my childhood friend 🤗
Sorry for your loss. It’s strange that I had a friend named Mark Morris as well. He died by suicide a couple years ago. Mark and I were Doors fans as well. His nickname was MoJo. ✌🏻
I've watched a lot of Jim Morrison stuff on UA-cam, but this was worthy. There's so much junk, but this was worthy. Damn, Jim, we really missed something with you. You had a life left, and we missed it. Not that it was ours. Still, feel cheated. You were something.
Your statement, "Still, feel cheated" perfectly describes how I feel about Jim Morrison's death, Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston, and many others who are gone too soon. The list is long.
Doing all the lsd I could and Looking very good, boys and girls were stunned by my beauty, now I have changed a bit 😂😂😂 because I lived a harsh life but I think I still have it 😂😂😂
Terrific documentary. He was so handsome and talented. Sorry he didn't have the chance to be truly celebrated for his music. But it doesn't sound like the music world was where he wanted a place. God bless you and thank you for the best documentary I've seen. He deserved this.
Me too i love heroin as much as he did, it made me feel warm and comfortable in any situation and the nodding out was bliss washing away the stress and anxiety and lack of self confidence, i'd fake it to make it. I still use periodically but that's now usually for medicinal purposes as in your 50's is usually when the previous 30yrs come back to bite.

My late husband ( looked a lot like Jim ) passed away almost the same way. He had thrown up, clots of blood 🩸, then straight up blood pouring from his mouth. He had destroyed his liver and had esophageal varices ( varicose veins that burst due to too much damage from alcoholism) 😢, I was inconsolable as I watched it happen…. Then hearing about Jim brought the memories flooding back……
Im so sorry Im turning my life to alcohol lately and I really don't want to leave my loved ones like that, he really didn't want that for you it's just alcohol numbs you from everything and you feel like you need it
I have three books on the Doors and and probably have seen at least four videos on Morrison's death. The video is the only one that provides new information.
This was really good. I have watched and read everything Jim Morrison related since 1980 and have never heard a lot of a lot of this stuff or a lot of these new characters. This is the most complete, if accurate telling of his final few months that I have ever come across. This was really excellent and well deserved done, thank you for it.
I saw the Doors perform twice, before Jim started loosing it with alcohol, at Santa Monica Civic (1967 summer) and the 5th of July 1968 Bowl concerts. Jim would be pleased their music has had huge numbers of fans in every generation since then.

Merci pour ce documentaire. Jim m'a toujours fascinée. J'ai vu sa tombe au père Lachaise mais pour moi il n'est pas là. Il chevauche toujours les cieux tourmentés par l'orage.
I remember how depressed I was at age 14 when I heard about his death. I was a huge Doors fan and Morrison was almost like an alter-ego for me, giving me confidence in myself. My family and I just moved to a new area, across the country and away from all my friends. I didn't know anyone in the new town, but still had The Doors and L.A. Woman to listen to....and then I hear on the radio that Jim was dead. It was a crushing blow.
My grandfather was a naval captain, and the naval attache in Paris during Jim's passing. He was friends with Jim's father and looked into his death. Went to his place and everything,
Just amazing. I was never crazy about the Doors or their music, (they were decades before I was born. However I was a real advocate of other bands. TBH, I've watched Doors documentaries before and they were _never NEVER_ like this one. I feel foolish for believing the indecent exposure thing & not truly knowing who Jim Morrison really was. Had I not heard his band mates speak, I would still be ignorantly in the dark. Thank you for doing what other documentaries haven't...for some reason.
Exactly. I only drank once a week, socially, but once I started, I didn’t stop. I was a happy drunk, so no one ever told me I had a problem. I quit age 35 in 1988. My parents were alcoholics so I saw where it led.
Been a self described Doors/Jim Morrison freak for almost 30 years now and already know their story.. that said, great doc! It really helps with any newcomers to their music or Morrison's poetry to learn more about their story. Especially the later years. Well done. __ In my opinion, his death was accidental overdose. Mysterious circumstances still abound, however.. Could that be how his death happened? How it's presented here? It's certainly plausible. In the end, no one will ever truly know what or how it happened, but it really doesn't matter much now, anyway.. Morrison is still gone, so 🤷🏻♂️.. RIP Jim Morrison. 1943-1971
Wow, the “James Douglas Morrison; faithful to his demons.” written in Greek that his parents had put on the tomb 20 years after his passing is eerie and crazy. Never knew that fact before this. Great doc!
@Mongrel296 No bullshit? Claiming, that there was a mystery around his death for over 50 years is enough bullshit....😂 Why are people always act like that, instead to let him rest in peace? It's always the same - Elvis is alive, Kurt Cobain was murdered by his wife, Nancy Spungen by some drug dealers too and so on.... Why is that? Greetings from Germany.....🙋🏻♀️

That is a good documentary.In my opinion,Jim was just an ordinary guy,who made it big with the help of someone else´s music.Not to say that he wasn´t a good singer and otherwise suitable frontman.Some good writing too,but nothing special,to me.
@@GeneralMig His band mates were good musicians but they have a vested interest in keeping the myth going , there were much better singer song writers ,but he died at age 27 and sentimentality did the rest.
Reconduzir pessoas é uma missão muito difícil. Muitas das vezes, elas não estão interessadas, aí fica complicado para o outro fazer mais que o necessário. Pense nisso.
Big Doors fan here. Very informative documentary. When my daughter was in preschool her teacher asked the kids what their favorite songs were. My daughter replied Break on thru and Light my fire. She was 4😊. The teacher got a kick out of that
I was just at his grave a few weeks ago. I went early and was the only one there, there’s a fence up to prevent people from going near the grave. There were a lot of drawings and momento’s left on his grave though. It was such a surreal moment seeing his grave after being obsessed with Jim’s lyrics and Doors music for the last 20 years or so (I’m 38). It was a very somber feeling standing there seeing the image I’d seen in so many photos and read multiple books about The doors. Very beautiful walk through pere lachaise cemetery and I highly recommend going if you’re in Paris.
I went a few weeks ago 1st thing when it opened. There was 5 other tourist that came a few minutes after I got there. At first when I was alone it was an eerie feeling looking for the grave. Leaving the main path. When others came I was relieved. It was surreal to be there. Was visiting from Canada
He had aged so quickly in such a short period. His good looks and lean body were gone by the time he was 27 years of age. He lived and partied hard. Very sad end.
Break on through....love and best wishes from Scottish long time fan...still got my teeshirts as a teenager. Embarrassing for my children but i love them... Jim is a legend
We're all here to embarrass our children as they help us grow up. Use 2024T3 to fix anything. Calvary Six Sigma the difference between value and worth learned through cooperation vs corporation.
This was very good. I think this is the most plausible scenario surrounding his death. I want to add that the intended meaning of the inscription that Jim’s father put on his grave was “ true to or faithful to his own spirit” not demon.
In the end, Jim is the one responsible for his own demise. No mystery here. His unhealthy lifestyle and the choices he made took a toll on his body and he passed away.
This was in French sub titled in English. I believe the ‘club’ version. After a while Jim was mostly on his own. Pam was off with her friends and French count. According to Jim’s brother in law he was impotent the last 3yrs of his life because of alcoholism and that’s why he started to take the china white so he could rise to the occasion. He became extremely depressed. I think he started to miss home. I believe this documentary to be a true account. Also according to Jim’s brother in law, Pam constantly mentioned about how much she would receive if he should ‘pop off’.
If he collapsed in a club and then got carried back to the apartment then he certainly would have marks on his body from the transport of it. The paramedics who arrived to see his dead body specifically said there was no unusual marks on his body so that debunks that theory.
I was listening to Jim Morrison music then The Doors, 2 days before I learned of the anniversary of his death, RIP to your soul. 11:17am July 3 24 Wednesday
I became a Doors fan at 13..because of Jim I began reading more and have a true love of learning..I’ve lived many more years than Jim did..and I am grateful to have had a good life..not perfect but very good..in part due to that man and band from los Angeles California..the doors..
The irony of hearing what the police chief said about 3 minutes in, regarding his arrest over "indecent exposure" in front of youth; when you compare that to these "pride" events today. Wow! I guess those were the good old days
They didn’t know, at age 27, that you could die from alcoholism? Geez, I knew it when I was 9. And you don’t even need to be an alcoholic to die from alcohol poisoning. It always blows my mind that so many grown ass “adults” don’t know this.
@@Williamottelucas For sure! What's crazy is that "back in the day" there were ashtrays inside doctors' offices and exam rooms. 😂 Even x-ray techs smoked in their little "work area". 🚬😶🌫️🤢
until 11 yrs ago i didnt know alcohol even in small amounts is toxic to every organ in the body, i'd kind of thought it was good for you as long as you didnt go overboard, turns out no amount is healthy
This is such a fine documentary, different and with more info than others I've seen. What an impact he had. I've been to his grave in Paris, several times, even in February. You cannot be alone there, just you and him. There is a constant stream of visitors, fifty years later, 365.
I have always heard of the doors manager going to Paris for the funeral and never seeing the body of Jim Morrison. This documentary explains why and it makes a lot of sense to me now.
They mention it in this documentary. I guess she's only started talking about it later in life. I explained it on here what she said & Utube deleted it. It wasn't anything offensive. Geez
Morrison was exhibiting classic withdrawal symptoms. He was cold in July, wanted to sit by a fireplace, coughing nonstop, short of breath going up the stairs, tense, depressed, etc. Classic WD signs. He wasn't just dabbling he had physical dependency at that point.
This man had congestive heart failure. It is obvious from how he looked at the end. The doctors kept giving him inhalers for asthma. The alcoholism didn't help. Almost anything on top of those factors would have killed him. Rest in power, Jim.
Pam died. of an overdose ttoo. Before the end of the court procedure she was gone & it went to the Courson family. Until later when Jim's parents fought it & got part' All Jim left was a paper stating that Pam would be the benefactor, with his signature. It's hanging somewhere-farmed. 🦎👑
First I've seen in such detailed way!!! ❤ But at the same time it makes you wonder why he didn't look in the casket ...but I do appreciate the fact that people haven't forgotten about him or the doors ..I still listen to their songs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Complimenti per il bel lavoro di questo documentfilm...più o meno ero già a conoscenza di tutta la vicenda essendo un grande estimatore di Jim e dei Doors.. qualche dubbio ce l'ho ancora... non avendo le risposte su alcune situazioni...in ogni modo sento che Jim nonostante il desiderio dell infinito e quindi della morte, non e andata come avrebbe voluto .ma e riuscito a creare il Mito che dopo 53 anni dalla morte si parla ancora di lui dei Doors..lui aveva l'anima trasgressivo ma era un buono e un pacifista romantico infatti è morto nella città più romantica al mondo..il mio animo è l'amore l'affetto per Jim mi fa contraddire sperando che sia ancora vivo bhe avrebbe 81 anni..in ogni caso lui vive per sempre dentro di me...
Muy bueno el documental, Jim Morrison es uno de los genios mas grandes e importantes en la historia de la música, muy talentoso, su excelente voz, y mas, en verdad siempre lo he admirado demasiado, lástima que murió tan joven de 27 años, estaríamos escuchando ahora muchas bellas nuevas canciones de él, me duele tanto que haya muerto, que Dios lo bendiga y lo reciba en su reino por tanto de él que nos dió.
I remember as a young kid watching the doors play Light my fire on some Saturday night TV show in 1968, I believe, I remember we had a black and white TV, kind of like the opening of this documentary.
Great film! Its a real shame JM was codependent on Pamela the junkie. They were NOT equals under any circumstances in terms of intellect or talent. She used him for drug money.
In 1989-92 I was Admiral Morrison’s (Jim’s father) pharmacist in Coronado CA. We never acted like we knew his son. We never asked him about Jim. We never spoke of The Doors when he was there. We all acted like he was just another patient. (Although a retired Admiral and WWII veteran with that respect and deference). I was always a huge Doors fan but we knew never to say a word.
So, Morrison couldn't breathe well, decided to have a bath @ 3am? Got in at the TAP END, no one puts their back to the tap end, unless they're bathing with another person. Morison then threw-up food and BLOOD (presumably in the bath?) , and Pamela, was REASSURED that he was ok, 'cause he said so? So, she went back to bed sleeping soundly...until the morning when the EMS was called, and found that the bath water was 'pink', and miraculously, still warm! Yeah, right.
Good documentary - Thanks for uploading it. This should quash all the rumors that Jim Morrison faked his death and planned to disappear. How could he, when his body and his health were in such bad shape from all the alcohol abuse and drugs. The Doors were a great '60's rock group - would have liked it if the makers of this film had also included interviews with Robby Kruger and Ray Manzarek. Morrison was a handsome guy - too bad he wasted his good looks on alcohol and drugs which made him paunchy.
The pinball wizard. Cherry Master. Nobody knows what it's like to be the bad man, to be the sad man, behind blue eyes. The kids are alright tour adjacent to Steel Wheels by the Rolling Stones. 1988, fourth row, stage left. Entertainment Tonight. Cliff Butts. Start Me Up.
Whether he really died, or merely staged his own demise, the goal was acheived, which was to escape an existence that held no meaning for him and that had spun out of control. But he burned bright for a short while just as many like him had. Jack London, Rimbaud, Oscar Wilde, and some of his own contemporaries in music.
Loneliness. Boredom. Insecurities usually leads to drugs and drugs win. You lose. Learn to love the smallest of things and you'll be grateful. If you are genuinely grateful you'll be satisfied. If you're satisfied it's highly unlikely you'll become an addict to anything. Walking away from the wrong people and closing doors where you need to may save your life. Risk it all by losing it all to gain life.
Wise words , kindly spoken. Thank you. Those words are true. I had a friend who was an alcoholic a few years ago, as an ex alcoholic myself it wasn’t a wise thing to be her friend, and she was a terrible influence . Thanks to my husband who has always protected me, I cut her loose to save myself. I had to.
I admired his talent I believe that Pam and him loved each other they were both addicts. No one person killed Jim Morrison but himself no matter if he was in the tub or not. They were not responsible. He was born to bless us with his poetry and born to die young. Very sad but his poetry lives on.

Да, глупость какая то! Почему так долго, и почему не забрали тело на вскрытие ! Ему же не 97, а всего 27 лет было, не так уж естественно умереть от инфаркта в таком возрасте....
The Byrds' Roger McGuinn: “David Crosby didn’t like him, but I always had a lot of respect for Jim Morrison. We played together at the Whisky but didn’t really get to know each other well then. He was very clever and artistic, into things like Kurt Weill. He was a really sharp guy, and knew a lot about how to project an image. When you talked to him he was just a regular guy, but he really played that image of his well. He was an actor.”
Fascinating documentary! No matter what you may believe, Jim is still gone and dearly missed. Such a beautiful soul.

TBH, I've watched Doors documentaries before and they were _never NEVER_ like this one.
I feel foolish for believing the indecent exposure thing & not truly knowing who Jim Morrison really was.
Had I not heard his band mates speak, I would still be ignorantly in the dark.
Thank you for doing what other documentaries haven't...for some reason.
We can't possibly be expected to sort out the truth when we're being lied to left, right, and center all the time.
You cant run away from yourself. Everyone realises that when its too late.
Maybe not "everyone." I at least hope not!🫣
Yes i plan on not being that person@@frankG335
But you have
The definition of an alcoholic is someone who cannot stop once they start. RIP Jim
Wie alle Süchtigen.
Couldn't get much higher ? Set the night on fire 🔥 .?..... liked the song / until NOW !
~ rest in paradise ~ 😔 🕯
@carlmorgan8452 You do realize the song was written by Robbie Krieger, right?
Exactly. I only drank once a week, socially, but once I started, I didn’t stop. I was a happy drunk, so no one ever told me I had a problem. I quit age 35 in 1988. My parents were alcoholics so I saw where it led.
This is an amazing bio. So wonderfully put together both visually, anecdotally, and historically.Thank you for putting this out. ✌🏻
I've always been fascinated by Jim Morrison. Thanks for the video.👍🏽
This is a fine documentary about the man. And at the end, Jim came alive...
To dangerous ..been there . pere lachaise...the tomb is still full of flowers.i like Jim..open minded. Necrofilia..my best an American prayer
Been a self described Doors/Jim Morrison freak for almost 30 years now and already know their story.. that said, great doc! It really helps with any newcomers to their music or Morrison's poetry to learn more about their story. Especially the later years. Well done.
__
In my opinion, his death was accidental overdose. Mysterious circumstances still abound, however.. Could that be how his death happened? How it's presented here? It's certainly plausible.
In the end, no one will ever truly know what or how it happened, but it really doesn't matter much now, anyway.. Morrison is still gone, so 🤷🏻♂️..
RIP Jim Morrison.
1943-1971
Wow, the “James Douglas Morrison; faithful to his demons.” written in Greek that his parents had put on the tomb 20 years after his passing is eerie and crazy. Never knew that fact before this. Great doc!
What a horrible thing for a parent to say on a tombstone
It does not mean demon, it means spirit.
@@TinCupChalice40This is incorrect. It means "Faithful to his spirit" There is an interview with his father, and he even says it.
@@cespo77 I’d love to find that interview… I did see the one interview with his father where he said “ Jim doesn’t sing” LOL
Another interpretation is: True to his spirit
Best Documentary on Jim. No bullshit.
@Mongrel296 No bullshit? Claiming, that there was a mystery around his death for over 50 years is enough bullshit....😂
Why are people always act like that, instead to let him rest in peace?
It's always the same - Elvis is alive, Kurt Cobain was murdered by his wife, Nancy Spungen by some drug dealers too and so on....
Why is that?
Greetings from Germany.....🙋🏻♀️

LOL, read his poetry ,it's full of bullshit drunken ramblings ,he was no Dylan or Lennon .
That is a good documentary.In my opinion,Jim was just an ordinary guy,who made it big with the help of someone else´s music.Not to say that he wasn´t a good singer and otherwise suitable frontman.Some good writing too,but nothing special,to me.
@@barblessable Lennon?
Very sad he didn’t have anyone close to him. The people in this video certainly didn’t have his back😢😢
Probably sworn to secrecy😞
Danny Sugarman was a nasty little leech.
His band mates loved him. The rest were there for a good time.
@@GeneralMig His band mates were good musicians but they have a vested interest in keeping the myth going , there were much better singer song writers ,but he died at age 27 and sentimentality did the rest.
Reconduzir pessoas é uma missão muito difícil. Muitas das vezes, elas não estão interessadas, aí fica complicado para o outro fazer mais que o necessário. Pense nisso.
Big Doors fan here. Very informative documentary. When my daughter was in preschool her teacher asked the kids what their favorite songs were. My daughter replied Break on thru and Light my fire. She was 4😊. The teacher got a kick out of that
I was just at his grave a few weeks ago. I went early and was the only one there, there’s a fence up to prevent people from going near the grave. There were a lot of drawings and momento’s left on his grave though. It was such a surreal moment seeing his grave after being obsessed with Jim’s lyrics and Doors music for the last 20 years or so (I’m 38). It was a very somber feeling standing there seeing the image I’d seen in so many photos and read multiple books about The doors. Very beautiful walk through pere lachaise cemetery and I highly recommend going if you’re in Paris.
I went a few weeks ago 1st thing when it opened. There was 5 other tourist that came a few minutes after I got there. At first when I was alone it was an eerie feeling looking for the grave. Leaving the main path. When others came I was relieved. It was surreal to be there. Was visiting from Canada
THANK you so much For great Docu. Jim very Nice, R.I.P. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
잘 보았습니다. 감사합니다.
짐 모리슨은 제가 가장 좋아하는 뮤지션 중 한명입니다.
Excellent, informative documentary.
Excellent documentary. Thankyou.
Say what you want to but the doors was a fantastic band and the 3 musicians behind jim were excellent but without jim they would be unknown to us all
Thanks for your permission,much appreciated.
He had aged so quickly in such a short period. His good looks and lean body were gone by the time he was 27 years of age. He lived and partied hard. Very sad end.
similar trajectory to Keith Moon
I think he looked great bearded. His body was just greatly weakened by the alcohol.
When EVERYONE is lying or shutting up when its time to tell the truth, what results is always Chaos.
I would have lied to. You don't want to be a snitch unless you think it can save someone's life and he was already dead.
Break on through....love and best wishes from Scottish long time fan...still got my teeshirts as a teenager. Embarrassing for my children but i love them... Jim is a legend
We're all here to embarrass our children as they help us grow up. Use 2024T3 to fix anything. Calvary Six Sigma the difference between value and worth learned through cooperation vs corporation.
This was very good. I think this is the most plausible scenario surrounding his death. I want to add that the intended meaning of the inscription that Jim’s father put on his grave was “ true to or faithful to his own spirit” not demon.
Makes me question the rest of the documentary and what the agenda is.
the best documentary on Jim Morrison's last weeks of life that I have ever seen.
I think this documentary is the best one I’ve seen on him. Thank you!
Wow this was amazing. I've listened to many doc about Jim. But wow interesting turn of events that we didn't know. .. and perhaps never will 😢
I was riding with my mom as a young boy when she told me Jim had died . I cried .
It is one of those things for many, that if you were alive when he died, you remember where you were when you heard the news.
In the end, Jim is the one responsible for his own demise. No mystery here. His unhealthy lifestyle and the choices he made took a toll on his body and he passed away.
How the hell do you possibly know that? Were you there?
It's not difficult to figure out
So sad
Mais tout le monde sait ça !
Profound insight.Thank you for your words
Das anziehende , und unwiderstehliche an Jim Morrison war , dass Er so tief innerlich , und poetisch , um seine Vergänglichkeit wusste . 🦄
"Не суди и не судим будешь"! Покоя твоей душе, Джим 🙏
This was in French sub titled in English. I believe the ‘club’ version. After a while Jim was mostly on his own. Pam was off with her friends and French count. According to Jim’s brother in law he was impotent the last 3yrs of his life because of alcoholism and that’s why he started to take the china white so he could rise to the occasion. He became extremely depressed. I think he started to miss home. I believe this documentary to be a true account. Also according to Jim’s brother in law, Pam constantly mentioned about how much she would receive if he should ‘pop off’.
Perhaps it wasn't an accident.....
If he collapsed in a club and then got carried back to the apartment then he certainly would have marks on his body from the transport of it. The paramedics who arrived to see his dead body specifically said there was no unusual marks on his body so that debunks that theory.
Очень странно, что не провели вскрытие....
Heroin has the polar opposite effect of what you’re claiming.
Indeed, totally takes away the want for sex. This I'm very familiar with (and grateful for)!@@Acemechanicalservices
I was listening to Jim Morrison music then The Doors, 2 days before I learned of the anniversary of his death, RIP to your soul.
11:17am
July 3 24 Wednesday
I became a Doors fan at 13..because of Jim I began reading more and have a true love of learning..I’ve lived many more years than Jim did..and I am grateful to have had a good life..not perfect but very good..in part due to that man and band from los Angeles California..the doors..
The irony of hearing what the police chief said about 3 minutes in, regarding his arrest over "indecent exposure" in front of youth; when you compare that to these "pride" events today. Wow!
I guess those were the good old days
Pride comes before the fall.
Bellissimo documento, mille grazie 😢
Where has this been hiding?, never seen it before… never knew so much happened in such short of a time after Jim left LA. Thanks for the upload 🙏
Great Documentary thanks for sharing
They didn’t know, at age 27, that you could die from alcoholism? Geez, I knew it when I was 9. And you don’t even need to be an alcoholic to die from alcohol poisoning. It always blows my mind that so many grown ass “adults” don’t know this.
In those days, even the link between smoking and lung cancer was not generally taken seriously either.
@@Williamottelucas For sure! What's crazy is that "back in the day" there were ashtrays inside doctors' offices and exam rooms. 😂 Even x-ray techs smoked in their little "work area". 🚬😶🌫️🤢
@tinjadog were you 9 when Jim Morrison died?
Almost. I was 9 the year my father quit drinking, about a year before Jim Morrison died.
until 11 yrs ago i didnt know alcohol even in small amounts is toxic to every organ in the body, i'd kind of thought it was good for you as long as you didnt go overboard, turns out no amount is healthy
This is such a fine documentary, different and with more info than others I've seen. What an impact he had. I've been to his grave in Paris, several times, even in February. You cannot be alone there, just you and him. There is a constant stream of visitors, fifty years later, 365.
53 years that's as close to the truth as we can get
EXACTLY !!! It seems like a lot of Hollywood singers end up dead in bathtubs doesn't it ???
@@charlottewalker6490 Exactly! They were a risk for the Hollywood big shots. And they had to be silenced.
I have always heard of the doors manager going to Paris for the funeral and never seeing the body of Jim Morrison. This documentary explains why and it makes a lot of sense to me now.
Faithful has come clean and told her story in the last few years. It's a heck of a story and I believe she's telling the true story.
what does she say
And that story is?
Her boyfriend was a drug dealer & sold Jim the H that killed him.
They mention it in this documentary. I guess she's only started talking about it later in life. I explained it on here what she said & Utube deleted it. It wasn't anything offensive. Geez
@@JadeLiz74 they delete half of my comments no matter what i write
Morrison was exhibiting classic withdrawal symptoms. He was cold in July, wanted to sit by a fireplace, coughing nonstop, short of breath going up the stairs, tense, depressed, etc. Classic WD signs. He wasn't just dabbling he had physical dependency at that point.
This man had congestive heart failure. It is obvious from how he looked at the end. The doctors kept giving him inhalers for asthma. The alcoholism didn't help. Almost anything on top of those factors would have killed him. Rest in power, Jim.
Pam saying "I don't want any interference" (paraphrasing). Am I the only one who thinks that is an odd thing to say ? Even from a heroin addict?
He left everything to her, and she knew it.
Pam died. of an overdose ttoo. Before the end of the court procedure she was gone & it went to the Courson family. Until later when Jim's parents fought it & got part' All Jim left was a paper stating that Pam would be the benefactor, with his signature. It's hanging somewhere-farmed. 🦎👑
@@CherieB-y3w Yes. And Sonny Bono's widow just got her hand slapped for trying to screw Cher out of her royalties from the old hits they had together.
That was an odd thing to say, made it seem like she knew more about what was going on than she was telling
With ‘friends’ like Pam, who needs enemies.
First I've seen in such detailed way!!! ❤ But at the same time it makes you wonder why he didn't look in the casket ...but I do appreciate the fact that people haven't forgotten about him or the doors ..I still listen to their songs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As Do I!❤
Wow. I never knew. Thank you for this illuminating documentary, that is something all of his fans need to complete the picture of his death.
Hi. I’m the only person who has never seen the movie or any Morrison documentaries. This is interesting and sad.
You're not the only person. 😜
Complimenti per il bel lavoro di questo documentfilm...più o meno ero già a conoscenza di tutta la vicenda essendo un grande estimatore di Jim e dei Doors.. qualche dubbio ce l'ho ancora... non avendo le risposte su alcune situazioni...in ogni modo sento che Jim nonostante il desiderio dell infinito e quindi della morte, non e andata come avrebbe voluto .ma e riuscito a creare il Mito che dopo 53 anni dalla morte si parla ancora di lui dei Doors..lui aveva l'anima trasgressivo ma era un buono e un pacifista romantico infatti è morto nella città più romantica al mondo..il mio animo è l'amore l'affetto per Jim mi fa contraddire sperando che sia ancora vivo bhe avrebbe 81 anni..in ogni caso lui vive per sempre dentro di me...
Thank you---Best on the topic that this ol' Doors man ever saw.
Good documentary. Nothing that I didn't already know. Yes, the OD possibility at the Circus, is new info, but it truly doesn't change the outcome.
Muy bueno el documental, Jim Morrison es uno de los genios mas grandes e importantes en la historia de la música, muy talentoso, su excelente voz, y mas, en verdad siempre lo he admirado demasiado, lástima que murió tan joven de 27 años, estaríamos escuchando ahora muchas bellas nuevas canciones de él, me duele tanto que haya muerto, que Dios lo bendiga y lo reciba en su reino por tanto de él que nos dió.
I remember as a young kid watching the doors play Light my fire on some Saturday night TV show in 1968, I believe, I remember we had a black and white TV, kind of like the opening of this documentary.
I love Jim Morrison, most great minds have issues.
True.
Excellent film...thanks for sharing...best regards from Mexico
Faithful to his spirit…not demons 🙄 This was a great documentary - excellent research - filled in so many holes
Well done. Very interesting content
Great film! Its a real shame JM was codependent on Pamela the junkie. They were NOT equals under any circumstances in terms of intellect or talent. She used him for drug money.
Falou tudo Pamela não passava de uma drogada e oportunista Jim que pena talentoso fiel pra sempre Jim te amamos😔
The trend setter for eighties hair, even before the seventies.
In 1989-92 I was Admiral Morrison’s (Jim’s father) pharmacist in Coronado CA. We never acted like we knew his son. We never asked him about Jim. We never spoke of The Doors when he was there. We all acted like he was just another patient. (Although a retired Admiral and WWII veteran with that respect and deference).
I was always a huge Doors fan but we knew never to say a word.
Are you sure? It sounds like you're a asshole
Well, that's a shitty boring story, isn't it. u should talked about Jim, then you would have somethingninteresting to write
God bless you for that
Fantastic and thought provoking. Marvelous!
By far the best and most accurate documentary about Jim Morrison's death.
There have been other videos on this same subject, but I congratulate you because this one has been made with great seriousness and professionalism.
Thank you for this.
So, Morrison couldn't breathe well, decided to have a bath @ 3am? Got in at the TAP END, no one puts their back to the tap end, unless they're bathing with another person.
Morison then threw-up food and BLOOD (presumably in the bath?) , and Pamela, was REASSURED that he was ok, 'cause he said so? So, she went back to bed sleeping soundly...until the morning when the EMS was called, and found that the bath water was 'pink', and miraculously, still warm! Yeah, right.
Good documentary - Thanks for uploading it. This should quash all the rumors that Jim Morrison faked his death and planned to disappear. How could he, when his body and his health were in such bad shape from all the alcohol abuse and drugs. The Doors were a great '60's rock group - would have liked it if the makers of this film had also included interviews with Robby Kruger and Ray Manzarek. Morrison was a handsome guy - too bad he wasted his good looks on alcohol and drugs which made him paunchy.
Jim Morrison aka Rush Limbaugh. He did in fact fake his death and assumed a new identity.
Amazing the same tub where he died is still there and in use. Imagine showering every day in the same tub Jim Morrison died in.
Pete Doherty is doing just that. The Libertines bought the bathtub!
The pinball wizard. Cherry Master. Nobody knows what it's like to be the bad man, to be the sad man, behind blue eyes. The kids are alright tour adjacent to Steel Wheels by the Rolling Stones. 1988, fourth row, stage left. Entertainment Tonight. Cliff Butts. Start Me Up.
most talented people seem to all have metal problems. from athletes to entertainers to artist.
Mental
Whether he really died, or merely staged his own demise, the goal was acheived, which was to escape an existence that held no meaning for him and that had spun out of control. But he burned bright for a short while just as many like him had. Jack London, Rimbaud, Oscar Wilde, and some of his own contemporaries in music.
Loneliness. Boredom. Insecurities usually leads to drugs and drugs win. You lose. Learn to love the smallest of things and you'll be grateful. If you are genuinely grateful you'll be satisfied. If you're satisfied it's highly unlikely you'll become an addict to anything. Walking away from the wrong people and closing doors where you need to may save your life. Risk it all by losing it all to gain life.
Wise words , kindly spoken. Thank you. Those words are true. I had a friend who was an alcoholic a few years ago, as an ex alcoholic myself it wasn’t a wise thing to be her friend, and she was a terrible influence . Thanks to my husband who has always protected me, I cut her loose to save myself. I had to.
The Doors. And all the wrong ones...
Well said...
I admired his talent I believe that Pam and him loved each other they were both addicts. No one person killed Jim Morrison but himself no matter if he was in the tub or not. They were not responsible. He was born to bless us with his poetry and born to die young. Very sad but his poetry lives on.
Jim Morrison dad was the U.S. navy commander of the ships that got attacked starting the Vietnam war
@@satireofcircumstance6458 he wasnt in gulf of tonkin incident, it's documented that his ship was in the region but wasnt in that actual spot to be engaged
J'ai grandi avec les Doors et malgré toutes ces années j'ai toujours plaisir à les écouter. Que dire de plus je ressens un grand vide 😢 depuis la mort deJim. Ce documentaire est très intéressant merci ❤
Brilliant documentary!
He died of alcoholism , excessive drinking will weaken the heart ❤. Educate yourself about Alcohol and other drugs. Educated others around you !!!. 😮
He liked that lifestyle, he died a poet.
He died at 5am, The fire dept got there at 9:30 am and the tub water was warm?
Да, глупость какая то! Почему так долго, и почему не забрали тело на вскрытие ! Ему же не 97, а всего 27 лет было, не так уж естественно умереть от инфаркта в таком возрасте....
That doesn't make any damn sense WHy would the flipping water still be warm?!
The Byrds' Roger McGuinn:
“David Crosby didn’t like him, but I always had a lot of respect for Jim Morrison. We played together at the Whisky but didn’t really get to know each other well then. He was very clever and artistic, into things like Kurt Weill. He was a really sharp guy, and knew a lot about how to project an image. When you talked to him he was just a regular guy, but he really played that image of his well. He was an actor.”
