Very Cool!!!

Absolutely amazing

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Although this film is very much intended to be based of off the "Final Days" of Nirvana front-man Kurt Cobain, its strengths lie in the haunting and relentless misery of protagonist Blake.The fact that Blake is intended to be a pretty direct allegory for Cobain is largely irrelevant to the mood and feel of the film. You could go into this film not even knowing who Cobain was and it wouldn't change your experience with it. Blake is a very depressed musician on his last legs who has pretty much entirely given up on life. That's all you really need to know. Although there are references to Cobain life and death, they feel mostly superfluous and don't really add anything to the film. Final Day is ultimately a film successful in its understanding and presentation of depression and isolation but not as a film depicting the last days of Kurt Cobain. You will be disappointed if you go into this film expecting a good Cobain/Nirvana film.

Gus Van Sant is known for his particular way of directing, where he sets up the camera and lets the film role while his actors goes off, and it works for most of his films but not in "Last Days", the fictional take on the last days of legendary musician Kurt Cobain. The long drawn- out shots of the actors meandering in the frame became over-whelmingly boring, and mundane. Michael Pitt on the other hand was oddly fascinating as Blake. From his drugged up walk, to his whisper of a mumble, and long wavy hair, Michael Pitt captures the essences of Kurt Cobain and its frightening to see. The supporting cast adds nothing special. They felt like people you would meet at a party and then you would never see them again, and that is exactly how their characters played out. They would say their dialog and then exit the screen.There were a few shots in the film that I enjoyed and they were the ones where Blake was playing music. The first one was where Blake wonders around to a variety of different instruments as the camera pulls out into the woodsy exterior. The other scene was one of the final shots and its Blake playing guitar and singing a beautiful song.The film overall was not that great. Not Gus Van Sant's best directing job, there was too much down time, and his supporting cast was awful. If you were too see this film, see it for Michael Pitt, he was exceptional. I give "Last Days" a 6 out of 10.

The theme/plot/point of this movie simply doesn't work as some kind of obscure art-flick. Gus Van Sant uses the exact same framework as he did in 'Elephant': Long shots of boring everyday things that everyone does.The very big difference however, is that it worked very well in Elephant. The seemingly trivial shots of everyday happenings worked as a contrast to the disaster that would eventually come in the end. (And this isn't a spoiler because if you're gonna watch Elephant, you know it's about a school shooting.) Showing the young children interact with one another and their families for the entire movie made sense to give off just how unexpected and horrible the event must have felt.In this movie however, it's really just stupid and doesn't make for anything than a really boring film that you regret giving a chance. Absolutely nothing happens during the entire movie and then he dies. That's it. Im not exaggurating either, all we see is long shots of "Cobain" stumbling around looking druggy. He barely ever talks and when he does he just mumbles incoherently, there is no insight into his mind, he just looks doped up and then he suddenly dies. It's really just a terrible terrible disappointment and a failure of cinema."An introspective artist who is buckling under the weight of fame, professional obligations and a mounting feeling of isolation" is a very interesting topic for a movie. The right thing for Van Sant to do would have been to actually include dialogue with psychological insight into the mind of Kurt Cobain and really bring us into his head and what he is going through. It's not IMPOSSIBLE to do that because there are plenty of diaries, biographies and journal entry's that you can draw from to give some kind of a understanding into his problems with fame and himself.But no. Instead he chose to do something that is just wrong on every concievable level. Im not going to say that he chose to do something cheap, because I have more respect for him as an artist than that. I don't think he threw together a shitty movie just for the sake of it. But misguided? Poor judgment of how to treat the subject matter? Completely. 1/10.

Exactly what one would expect from Gus Van Zandt... artistic brilliance.-(There are instruments that cannot be selected There are some instrument combinations that cannot be selected within the same kit, or with certain trigger inputs.
