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 fictitious. The director firmly grasps the current psychology and behavior of the characters in the passage of time. It can be seen that the director thoroughly analyzes the situation of the character prototype and the inner thoughts and feelings. The more normalized life becomes, the harder it becomes for Black to continue living like this.

The beautiful apartment has peeling walls, and the sun is sluggish, which seems to be a metaphor for Black's broken life. He walked into the rehearsal room and picked up his guitar, and the choir recited nervously with Black's voice. He plays the piano and drums for a while, even if it is damaged, it doesn't matter, which brings the scene of Cobain's performance to the film. But the same behavior on the stage and at the moment are completely different feelings. A friend gave Black a tape, hoping Black would give him some advice, but was called away, leaving Black alone. Black was like an old man who was dying, sitting beside the drum and began to play the piano, and there was despair in the loss. On the last night, he just watched quietly, as if the whole world was leaving him, leaving him alone. He has already exhausted his energy, and he has no more nostalgia. And the last few days just fast-forwarded his departure.

He said intermittently "everyone...treats me like I'm a...like I'm a...fuck criminal" "I'm like...left something on the road" "I told my daughter I miss her"

finally, on a bright morning. Neighbors saw Black unfettered and climbed the ladder to heaven.

"The Last Days" is Van Sant's third film facing death, a good continuation of the style of the first two films. The purpose of these films is not the ending, but to let the audience experience the life of the characters. "The Last Days" should have been filmed in 2004, ten years after Cobain left. Ten years have passed, and it will be 2014 in the blink of an eye. Cobain and Nirvana have always been in people's ears, eyes, and hearts. Michael Pitt, played by Black, is the lead singer and guitarist of Pagoda. One of his songs in the film, "Death To Brith", repeated the phrase "it's along lonely journey, from death to brith" and listened to the song repeatedly, which brought tears to my ears.

Cobain wrote in his suicide note, "Love so much that it makes me feel really fucking gloomy, a gloomy, sensitive, unappreciative, Pisces Jesus-like figure." The strengths and weaknesses of Pisces were magnified in him, and he felt that he was too perverse and melancholy. He said, "It's better to burn calmly than to survive." No one is like him, too pure and too sensitive to his music.

Speaking form the tongue of an experienced simplton who obviously would rather be an emasculated,infantile camplainee
it's the voice of a vicissitudes of life fool who would rather be a weak and childish complainer
