What is the main theme in the autobiography, Lords and New Creatures?

Film and the cinema are the main theme of "The Lords and The New Creatures" by Jim Morrison.

Film was a passion of Morrison's and therefore, a great number of poems were written by him regarding the topic. Morrison was a student at the UCLA film school before he met Ray Manzarek and ventured into his career as a lyricist and musician with The Doors.

The art of film was fascinating to Morrison because of its almost unlimited possibilities regarding the technique and subject matter. The medium supported Morrison's beliefs that anything was possible and that the mundane lives of those in modern society had shut themselves off from the possibilities. The poet enjoyed experimenting with various subjects and whether or not the product was well received, there was a learning experience that was translated into other creative outlets.
