Jim Morrison je bil vsekakor zelo samosvoja in edinstvena osebnost, čeprav njegova življenjska zgodba spominja na mnoge glasbenike, ki so uspeli v šestdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja. V nenehnem iskanju samega sebe in uspehu, ki ga je požel s svojimi skladbami, ni našel pravega odgovora. Ustanovil je skupino The Doors, ki si je čez noč pridobila poslušalce. Postal je idol mladih po vsem svetu in je to še danes. Kot večina mladih v šestdesetih ni mogel mimo drog. Z njimi je počasi uničeval svoje življenje, dokler ni v 27. letu starosti umrl. Prispevki glasbenih nastopov Doorsov so nadvse prepričljivi, v Morrisona se je odlično poglobil Val Kilmer. Pesmi, ki jih je Morrison pustil za seboj, so resnične in čudovite. In so ostale.
