From TPD:
If you are a music lover, you must be familiar with the biggest hits of our era like “Light My Fire” and “Blowin’ in the Wind”.
Light My Fire is a song by The Doors, which was recorded in August 1966 on the Doors’ debut album with genius twenty-seven Jim Morrison as lead vocal. Blowin’ in the Wind is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1962 and released on his album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan in 1963. In this weekend, we would meet Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison through the screening of “I’m not There” and “The Doors”.
About the film
THE DOORS is a 1991 American biopic directed by Oliver Stone about the 1960-70s rock band of the same name which emphasizes the life of its lead singer, Jim Morrison.
The film portrays Morrison as the larger-than-life icon of 1960s rock and roll, counterculture, and the drug-using free love hippie lifestyle. But the depiction goes beyond the iconic: his alcoholism, interest in the spiritual plane and hallucinogenic drugs as entheogens, and, particularly, his growing obsession with death are threads which weave in and out of the film
I’M NOT THERE is a 2007 biographical musical film directed by Todd Haynes, inspired by the life and music of American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.
Six actors depict different facets of Dylan’s public personas: Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, and Ben Whishaw. This conveys the idea that Bob Dylan can be anyone, or no one.
The film is considered to have unconventional movie dialogue and different from other biographical musical films.
