Nico was a Warhol girl who he put in the Velvet Underground (apparently Lou Reed hated her) and had relationships with Jackson Browne (when he was sixteen), Bob Dylan etc... she was beautiful and I loved her music. She spent too many years as a heroin junkie unfortunately (and shared that with her young son sired by Alain Delon (big big film star in France). Maybe she inspired Jim??? Dylan wrote a song for her, so did others. She must have had something more than beauty.....RIP Nico, I love you.

Jim was by no accounts an a- hole just a free spirit who didn't give a damn about anything in the sense that shit happens move on and live life didn't dwell on issues like depressives do is this girl a transi ?

@johnnystaccata That's the way the movie portrays him, but Ray Manzarek, the Door's organist said that he was not like that at all. They just showed one side of Jim, the one that he was famous for. It's a good movie, but I'm gonna take Ray's word over Oliver Stone's for how Jim was.

@SmackeralJoe

That's why The Doors movie is a MOVIE and When You're Strange is a DOCUMENTARY. Imbeciles.

@standardspolice

Worse portrayal of her I've ever seen. If you like women that look like fish, good for you, but that's certainly not anything like the real Nico.

[SmackeralJoe]

@standardspolice Young Nico is hot. and the doors movie sucks. Watch when your strange, narrated by johnny depp. waayyy better.

@standardspolice

That's not an accurate account of how they met. Oliver Stone should have done his research better.

@johnnystaccata Jim Morrison was an eternity and global class performance artist, singer & poet--continually and inspiredly creative, influenced by the great nineteenth century French Imagist poet Rimbeaud--whose genius you are too dull to fathom. Jim was the archetypal pure artist and apostle wouldbe practitioner of true artistic freedom likely driven to the bottle etc. and an early grave by the refractorily uncomprehending reflexive repressions of convention addicted hack subartists like you.
