    Was jim morrison really like that? I mean it was a great movie, he makes great music, I just really didn't like the part where he killed his girlfriends duck in front of her....

    I have seen the movie a few times but I don't remember that part. Having not known Jim Morrison in real life I couldn't tell you but often movies tend to over personify people to give them a 'larger than life' quality.

    From what ive read and listening to a couple of The Doors middle albums Lol, he seemed possibly like a fairly tempermental individual at times.

    You mean the part where he knocked the already dead and cooked duck to the floor and stomped on it?

    Food fights are common in domestic disputes when food is being prepared or served. So its all possible that it happened, just not on thanksgiving..

    women often say irrational things in domestic disputes as well.

    I've seen a documentary about Jim Morrison where some people who knew him said he was basically a sociopath. I believe it too.

    Yes ,he was beautifully talented , but greatly disturbed... I read Riders on the storm and Eyes: The poetry of Jim Morrison... I think those will help answer your question :)

    In the movie , the girlfriend was tripping on acid at the time she was flipping out over the duck.

    yes. me and jim were quite close, and i remember that incident happening exactly as portrayed in the movie.

    if they were trying to eat it, she was probably thanking him.
