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 several places (music can always have an impact on my body and mind), but the long-awaited "point explosion" has never arrived. It's like a sex with a lot of foreplay. Without an orgasm, it's a pity.
It seems a little unfair to say that the second work of a director I almost admired because of "The Elephant", and it fully reflects how high people's expectations are for him. If it is another director's work, I will not hesitate to give it. 4 stars or more, but he's Gus Van Sant. Look, who told you to post all the big moves in one go, and you haven't grown to the point where you can freely switch the style of the film. "Last Days" disappointed me, Gus Van Sant disappointed me.
The actor is handsome, his acting skills need to be polished, his singing skills are a bit lackluster... Don't read the explanation at the end of the film, what is based on the last years of Cobain, the life of that god-like rock star is really not a director like Gus Van Sant. A subject that can be mastered!
Why don't we just leave it to Hollywood to shoot, let's have a good rock and roll scolding.
