At the end of the day though I think every filmmakers should have a story to tell, that should be one of their main goals. <BR/><BR/>Van Sant achieved his goal of showing the directionless and sad existence of Blake in those final days but I didn't feel anything for him or the other characters, there was no story told. He hit the mood perfectly but told me nothing.Tony Tantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619319927519736211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33519197.post-28669312271507128382007-12-03T16:46:00.000-08:002007-12-03T16:46:00.000-08:00I can understand your review Dave, although I'm no...I can understand your review Dave, although I'm not sure this is really a movie that's meant to be enjoyed. Other then a few great moments of creativity, it is over all very hopeless and lifeless . . . and I thinks that's the point. I'm not saying you didn't understand this, I'm just noticing by your criticism that I think this Van Sant did exactly what he set out to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33519197.post-15065581455756769082007-12-02T10:05:00.000-08:002007-12-02T10:05:00.000-08:00I've seen Elephant and loved it but haven't seen G...I've seen Elephant and loved it but haven't seen Gerry yet. I will.<BR/><BR/>I don't really disagree with anything you said. There were moments in Last Days that blew me away but overall it just didn't come together for me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your thoughts nathan.Tony Tantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619319927519736211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33519197.post-50886915376598346302007-12-01T20:10:00.000-08:002007-12-01T20:10:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.nathan davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11382402085306068909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33519197.post-21821086570950402032007-12-01T17:10:00.000-08:002007-12-01T17:10:00.000-08:00first off i need to say that in my opinion van san...first off i need to say that in my opinion van sant is one of the best directors working in the world right now. i believe i agree with your review. however i think i liked this movie more than you though. i loved the character of blake. his inability to connect with the world. whether it be with his roomates, or when he leaves the house near the end of the movie. there are so many people wanting something from him and he can't provide. whether because of drugs or because he doesn't want to. whether it be his daughter or people wanting him to make more music. the cinematography was great. it was such a tragic story. i guess i'm just a sucker for those. have you seen elephant and gerry? i do like those better, however last days was right up there for me too.nathan davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11382402085306068909noreply@blogger.com
