Only time is passing

When I was in junior high school, I liked to watch the pictorial, handsome men and beautiful women, and noticed Liv Phoenix, young, handsome, and sunny. Later, I finally saw the film "Me and My Idaho" he participated in, but he had already gone to another world. The paper said that he died of drugs. Director Van Sant said: "I think other things surrounding them may make them depressed. Drugs are a tool for their release, not the cause of their death."

"The Last Days" is Van Sang Special commemoration of these friends. The protagonist chose the lead singer of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain.

What will you do in the few days before you die? My answer is to read books, see friends, and see relatives. The problem is that unless you decide yourself, it is difficult to know when you will end, and it is difficult to arrange the time before that. Similarly, it is a fact that Kurt Cobain must die at the end of this film. How did the last days pass, but who else knows?

A person died, took away a world, and left a mystery ever since. Anyone is.

"For someone who was once brilliant, but lost himself in the second half of his life, nothing will happen in his last days, only time is passing." I feel that it is not just them, but All of us, in the end, will surrender to the power of time, linger and watch ourselves lose. My answer is naive.

How to express time? Or just express time? The director used a series of long shots, the actors were improvising, the protagonist just muttered to himself, the whole film has no plot, the whole film repeats from time to time, and even stays for a long time.

Godard said: "Every shot is about morality."

The protagonist keeps walking, the scenery is beautiful, and his heart is empty, "Accepting or returning?" "The old face is dead!" He kept moaning, escaping from all the people and life in reality. The "death" he needs is The play was eventually found.

"Life is an adventure that no one can go out alive." In the

last days, the phone will ring, the bell will ring, I retreat, everything is still running as usual, all lives, retreat, and everything is in motion, There are also births and deaths.

What will I do in the few days before I die? I don't think I know.

    The last breath of life! Van Sant’s style became more prominent after "Elephant". This film can be regarded as the second work of Van Sant’s personal stylization, with a slight mysticism and the remainder of "My Own Idaho". "Fantasy", although "viewability" is flawed, in my opinion, it is still an excellent work. ★★★★

    The moment the male protagonist changed into a black dress with suspenders, my frantic heart suddenly calmed down...
