There are many interpretation of Jim Morrison's middle finger act. One of the versions say that it was his defiance to his fans and rest of the world. The finger yelled "F*** you all, I don't care". A highly rated performer Jim was very different from a tormented Kurt Cobain but still died young at 27 under shady circumstances. There were certain reasons which pushed him towards semi-accidental death.
In 11^3 release Rockstar, the lead character Janardan/Jordan makes a note of this version of Middle Finger... He idolizes him because Morrison achieved so much fame in his life. Even his act of defiance to fans is adored as a 'punch' act. Little he knows that one day he will hate this world and show his middle finger to his fans.
The character of Jordon wants to achieve success and become a big star but on his way to success he finds a big void in his life... Heer. His stardom becomes his biggest shortcoming because it doesn't allow him to heal his wounds. The mood swings and frustrations start taking a toll on him but his stardom doesn't allow him any respite. His angst either need to be quenched or given a vent. Beyond a point he doesn't give a damn to his ambitions, his stardom or his admirers because he is lonely while fighting his demons. The Middle Finger puts that across...
Hardly seen such metaphors in Bollywood. Loving fans is so hyped that you don’t see a point when someone hates them.
