Last Days (The last days of Kurt Cobain)

Last Days

The newest film of Gus Van Sant (To die for, Elephant, …). This movie is about the life of Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), played by Michael Pitt. It s typically Van Sant that he makes his movies to let the audience think for themselves. In the movie the names are not the names from the authentic Nirvana crew and its especially about Cobain. His entourage is seen in the film but everything turns around the main character. Van Sant does not use popular actors in most of his films. Last Days is not spectacular but shows quiet good the last days of Cobain, who lives for his music and is for most of the time in his own world where nobody can enter. There are people all the time in his neighborhood and small parties, people calling, but Blake (Cobain-Pitt) is most of the time not really around. Its clear that this hero for lots of young people had the money to buy everything, but at the end only loves his music and hates all the fuss about his popularity. I film u can think over after u have seen it.
