Mario (2018)
I cried like a baby!
I so recommend this movie for anyone who craves good romance in films these days! Acting is great, the films is so engaging exciting but chill. I enjoed EVERY BIT, and felt all of the emotions both of the main characters felt. Quick tip, be ready to be on a slow emotional rollercoaster, and have some tissues around! Enjoy!
Last Days (2005)
The film is hugly underrated. For me, it's one of those films that'll stick with me for a long time. I'm more than impressed by a lot details in this very touching film.
Most people who have watched the movie were not so impressed by how the main character Blake mumbled to himself throughout everything he did. Michael Pitt said that the film was 80% improvised and they only had a map. That shows great acting skills, because he truly conveyed Blake's emotions or lack of for that matter, in all of the scenes. We don't know what Blake was exactly thinking or if he was planning his death all along. We're supposed to interpret all of it from his apathetic behaviors. The film did a remarkable job bringing into motion how isolated an extremely depressed person feels. The film took me on a short journey inside Blake's mind, everything we saw/heard was how he experienced it. From his careless friends, to his disregard to his world and all the people he used to work with. The events that lead Blake to where he was in the film are ambiguous. It's not made very clear how he become that apathetic and we're just left with hints here and there. We may not grasp what happens in the film until Blake starts singing Death to Birth. In the context of the film, the song makes the most sense. Every bit that could come across as obscure in the film was pieced together when Blake sang. He sang every last bit of his heart out. Music was all he had at that point. He said what he didn't say and what we wanted him to say in front of all these people who didn't appear to notice how bad he needed help. The song particularly is what finally formed a connection or a common language between Blake and me. The film gives zero f's about impressing the audience. It was as if a camera just happened to be there, and I think that's what makes this film so raw and moving. I think that's what Gus Van Sant was going for. Finally, I think this story is not about Kurt Cobain. It's not supposed to be telling Cobain's story or give you facts about how he died. It's a tribute to his legacy.
