Gus Van Sant's Last Days
Nice pictures but no movement. The movie was not slow it literaly never went anywhere. It has a tragic romantic drug loner type thing that just didn’t work. I hated it. Maybe if you worshipped Kurt Cobain or if you are a Heroin junky you might like this movie. I think this needs to be a training film used to show what not to do in filmmaking.
There is no turning point in the story, no love affair, no soul, no reality and it didn’t have any of the substance that makes a good movie. It was not entertaining or insightful.
The Cinematography was good but it was nice pictures without a moving story. My friend literally fell asleep! Where was Courtney Love? And, who were those other people! I think i made the mistake of thinking his girl friend was his mom. i still don't know who she was but maybeKurt fans who have seen this movie know. If someone can tell me that would be a big help.
I am sure some people try hard to see this as some kind of lofty interpretation of Kurt's life or the last days and life of a genius of some sort but I say nay. I say it is just bad, really bad. And I think the worst part is the romanticizing of heroin use! What is up with that?!
Why not show him missing a vein with holes in his arms and his face sunken in or him hiding in a closet instead of traipsing around out in the beautiful open country side? Don’t heroin addicts isolate and stay inside out of the light!? Instead he runs around in the outdoors which gives him some kind of explorer quality and glorification that was just bad, real bad.
