| dc.description.abstract | The Doors is a movie directed by Oliver Stone. This movie tells about The
Doors, a 60's legendary psychedelic band. This movie also emphasizes to the Jim
Morrison's life as The Doors' front man. This movie represents Jim as an
existentialist, who believes that freedom is the most important thing in our life.
There are three problems to discuss in this thesis. The first is did the past life
has influence to Jim Morrison? What is his biggest influence? The second one is what
is the relation of Indian culture to Jim Morrison? The last is what the relation between
existentialism and freedom to Jim's life. Furthermore, this thesis uses sociological
approach to framing this thesis because the writer sees that Jim's environment and his
social life is the biggest influence in his life. The writer will use Pierre Bourdieu‘s
theory of practice; habitus, capital, and field.
Moreover, the writer adds existentialism as the addition point of view to see
what lies beneath Jim's mind and idea. There will be three existentialists that will be
discussed to reveal the idea about freedom, angst, and also death. To analyze the
Indian culture, there will be some description about Indian culture, such as ghost
dance, totem, peyote, and also shaman. It continues to Jim's life after he moves to
California and enters the UCLA. The writer hopes that the result of this thesis will
help the readers to understand at least the basic concept of existentialism, especially
in Jim Morrison‘s life. | en_US |
