      Sant's Day [from Li Zongheng Film Review]

      Nirvana band Cobain's suicide film, written and directed by Van Sant. A big corner of the entire art history is the naked power history. If "Elephant" hadn't won the Palme d'Or and the best director, how many people would have watched that school shooting over and over again. People always say "it depends on the quality of the work" when they can't say anything or don't want to tell the truth. Sant is still eager to show the "empty" narrative and multi-angle non-linear tricks, but it really...

      Gus Van Sant disappointed me bird

      It was Gus Van Sant after all, and I gave it three stars.

          But compared with that "Elephant", neither the music of the Velvet Underground nor the hoarse singing of death to birth can restore the contrived details of the film.
          It feels like Gus Van Sant is a director ready to go, and those seemingly messy shots serve a flashpoint that he can control just right. However, it seems a little powerless to control the subject matter of this film. It is true that I was moved in...

      happy 46th birthday dear

      Many people are missing you tonight. Even in your opinion, what everyone misses is just the popular consumer goods with scarred culture packaged by VIRGIN.
      This evening, I stumbled across the guitar that I hadn't touched in a long time. Distortion switches are flipped on and off and on. Finally, not a single note came out. About your mind, in fact, has nothing to do with music.

      He's just a complainer

      Not much dialogue, simple shot composition, calm attitude, no subjective emotions, no trace of sadness. People don't know what happened to Kurt Cobain in his final days, and director Van Sant narrates it. The protagonist is Cobain, just replaced by the name Black. Black's mood doesn't seem to have changed much throughout the film, with a bit of "pathological" behavior and constant avoidance. But with each scene and plot change, we can feel Black's deepening loss and despair. The plot is...

      Chaplin felt depressed

      Chaplin felt that he was suffering from depression, he went to the doctor: "Doctor, I'm terrible, can you cure me?" The doctor said: "Why don't you go to the Joker show? I promise you will. I'll laugh when it's over." "But, doctor, I'm the clown."
      I'm also a clown, bringing joy to many people, but not laughing at myself.

      The film "The Last Days" is based on the last experience of Niravana frontman Kurt Cobain. It's about Blake, a rocker who, under the weight of fame, success and...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The filming took only 4 weeks.
    In the film, the sound often does not match the picture. For example, there is a car passing by but no engine sound is heard. At the end, Black sits in a greenhouse, but the sound comes from the German soundscape composer Hildegar Westkahn. His work "Doors of Perception". Director Gus Van Sant hopes to express the psychology of the characters.

    Creative background

    Although the film is inspired by the last days of Nirvana's lead singer Kurt Donald Cobain's life, the characters and events in it are all fictional. Van Sant began to conceive the film script as early as 1996. At the same time, Van Sant started filming the movie " Good Will Hunting ", so "Last Days" was put on hold for a while. In 1997, Van Sant met Michael Pitt, who was new to the film industry. Although he was a little old compared...

    Shooting technique

    Van Sant got rid of traditional narrative techniques in the film, but instead used sound, video, and poor lines to create stories and emotions. In addition, Van Sant continued to break the rules in casting and acting. There were a large number of non-professional actors in the film, and the proportion of improvisation was very large. Many supporting roles in the film have been adjusted according to the actors. For example, some actors...

    Movie quotes

    • Detective: Then one day he thought the way to make money there are a lot of people who had exotic backgrounds in vaudeville. There was a Chinese magician named Ching Ling Foo who was doing really well. So Billy Robinson sort of disappeared and he resurfaced as a Chinese magician named Chung Ling Soo. He had his hair cut off and made into a queue you know, one of those long queues at the back of his neck. And he had himself made up look like a Celestial. And he became incredibly well-known performing in England. No, he was a magician. He was a stage magician. He did these really wonderful shows. And the real Chinese magician, Ching Ling Foo, got outraged and he tried to have a competition with him. There was headlines in the paper, Soo fools Foo, Foo sues Soo. You know, they had this amazing rivalry. Basically, the guy who wasn't Chinese kind of won the contest, as this great Chinese magician. The other thing he did actually tried to catch a bullet in his teeth on the stage. And marksmen would get up. They'd have a bullet autographed. I mean, you would nick with your nail an initial into the bullet, and a rifleman would fire it at him. And this Billy Robinson dressed up as Chung Ling Soo would stand on the stage with a plate in front of his mouth, and the marksman would fire the bullet. And Chung Ling Soo would catch the bullet in his teeth, and then spit the bullet onto the plate. And they would check it. And it would be the same mark that was made by the guy in the audience It was an amazing effect. It goes back to the 16th century. There was a book about it called The Riddle of Chung Ling Soo by a guy named Will Dexter, but The thing that's amazing is he's performing one day at the Wood Green Empire Theatre, you know, in London in 1918. And he's doing this stunt they shoot him, he drops to the ground and he's dead. He actually dies trying to catch the bullet in his mouth. To this day, there's still all sorts of speculation about what really happened. Was it an attempt to commit suicide? He had some rocky relationship with his wife Dot, who performed with under the name of Suee Seen. But the thing I always remembered about the case you know, being a P.I. I guess is that the Coroner's report called it misadventure. Death by misadventure.

    • Blake: I'm being treated like I'm a... like I'm a... fucking criminal, you know?

    • Band Fun: The film that has influenced me the most is probably Gus Van Sant's My Own Private Idaho, with whom I had the chance to work while in the US. Seeing that movie during a time of my life in which I was exploring my sexuality and looking at the work of River Phoenix made me dream about acting in a film.
