AN AMERICAN PASTORAL
(1969)
THE
INFAMOUS "LOST" EXPERIMENTAL FILM OF
JIM MORRISON
Not
only
is it the Holy Grail
for serious Doors
collectors,
it is
also
a film with appeal to fans/students of 60s experimental
and
counterculture
films (in fact, it is one that will have more
meaning
to them that it will the average Doors
fan).
A piece of cinematic history that DESERVES to be seen!!
As far
as
a plotline, there isnt much of one,
but some of the images are
fantastic,
and
the
soundtrack is also impressive in its use
of (non-Doors) music and
various
natural
sounds.
I thought I could detect elements of Antonioni (long
unbroken
takes in
a surreal desert setting), Warhol
(long unbroken takes in which
nothing
appears to be
happening), and even
Kenneth
Anger (black leather).
Look at the shots below of
Jim
screaming ...
they come from an INCREDIBLE
moment in the film,
after Jim leaves the scene of
the dying coyote...
behind the wheel of the car,
he steps on the gas and
slams down a beer...
and then he lets out a huge,
evil SCREAM
(interwoven on the soundtrack
with the roar of a panther)
as only the Lizard
King could do,
his eyes rolling upward in a
demonic grimace ...
he then gets a leering,
self-satisfied
grin on his face
(similar to Jack in THE
SHINING)
and calmly continues drinking
his beer and driving.
It's guaranteed to jolt the
spines of Morrison fans!!
There is also an
unforgettable
opening scene,
where the King emerges from
a pool of water...
WHILE STILL WEARING HIS
LEATHER
PANTS!!

“As intimate a portrait
of Jim Morrison’s character and the forces
which shaped his life and death as the reader is ever likely to
encounter…”
This book is not just another rehash of
the same old sensational
tell-all dirt and gossip, but a collection of bitter and sweet
memories
concerning the life and times of Jim Morrison a.k.a. “The Lizard King”.
These stories, yarns, and anecdotes are
like a collection of
dreams and memories; writing them has given me the greatest
of joy and my wish is to share that experience with you, the
reader.
The Jim Morrison you know, unlike most
public figures, is largely
based on accounts of the last five years of his life. More than forty
books
have been published about him, and each one reveals nothing more
than
the last. The reason for this is because no one in the Morrison
clan has ever
revealedthe true details (nor will they ever) about Jim’s life
inside the family.
My personal account of these events
provides rare glimpses and intimate
insights into the other side of Jim Morrison and the people who
loved him.
