Five songs from this band were used in Forrest Gump? 丨 Night asked

Answer: From top to bottom, the movies "The Rest of the Desert Island", "Forrest Gump", and "Apocalypse Now" are the corresponding songs B-A-C.

The Doors is an American rock band founded in Los Angeles in 1965 by lead singer Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzac, drummer John Dansmo and guitarist Robbie Craig. From 1965 to the death of lead singer Jim Morrison to the dissolution of the band in 1973, although it lasted a short time, the gate band still left a strong mark in rock history. Lead singer Jim Morrison, in particular, has become an icon of a generation of young people with his distinct thoughts and stage performances. The Gate Band still exists today as a cultural phenomenon and influences other creators.

Many of the films used the music of the Gate Band, especially some works that reflected the war, which was related to the anti-war ideas of the lead singer and the early works of the Gate Band, and Morrison's anti-war reason was related to his family. His father was a soldier in the U.S. Navy, and he had witnessed a Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and participated in some U.S. foreign wars, much to Morrison's disgust. His childhood exposure to books and cultural environments led to his interest in poetry, and he was not obsessed with music during college, but only studied film and wrote poetry. After meeting band member Ray Manzac, they combined poetry with music to produce good results. After recruiting two other members, the Gate Band gradually took shape.

The first album "The Doors" has the same name as the band, and the "Light My Fire" was used in the movie "The Rest of the Desert Island", where the protagonist played by Tom Hanks was shipwrecked and wandered to a desert island, and when he finally found a way to light a bonfire, he excitedly hummed the song of the Gate Band. The album's Soul Kitchen was used in the same director's film Forrest Gump, where the music of Soul Kitchen accompanied Gump as he was deeply involved in the Vietnam War and encountered heavy rain as he walked through the forest with his companions. When the soul was re-brushed by the rain, Forrest Gump and the others ushered in the sunshine. Director Zemeckis used five songs from the band in the film, which shows the preference. And the director of "Apocalypse Now" Coppola also loves them, in the beginning and end of the film, Coppola uses the Gate Band's "The End", in the war and bloody scenes, the meaning of the song seems to be sublimated, the song and the film become one, and even the work itself.
