Trailer for Gus Van Sant's Last Days Michael Pitt stars in a Seattle-set rock & roll drama as a musician whose life and career is reminiscent of Kurt Cobain's. www.picturehouse.com (beautifullyscarred.net)
Yeah… you’re such a super awesome fan because you like the “non mainstream” music nirvana made. Man I wish I was as cool as people like you. Could you imagine…. Liking a song that only 3 people like that way you could call yourself a “true fan” and stand in a corner smoking a cig looking so cool!? Wish that was me
I think you really have to just accept the movie for what it is; art. Films are art, just like music. You have to look at "Last Days" not as a film about Kurt Cobain, but as an art form depicting a very depressed, worn out, strung out, beat up guy. I personally loved Last Days. One of my all-time favorite movies. Gus Van Saint is a genius!
As someone who’s lost a close family member to suicide, I can say without hesitation that this movie captures the bleakness that’s surrounding your loved one so well. I can’t put my admiration for this searing slow burn performance into words. It’s just too good.
@@folladordeprostis For the most part independently made films. Usually lower budget and usually submitted in the film festivals in attempt to get picked up by major production companys like a 24
I suddenly realized Michael Pitt was much taller than Kurt, and much more buff, actually. Kurt was a wee little man, with these big piercing blue eyes and this tremendous smile - and that's one thing that nobody can replicate.
I remember when this trailer used to appear so clearly on my old computer, holed up in my room, as a morbid teen obsessed with death and Kurt as I sat there replaying this trailer, and Michael’s performance of “Death To Birth” over and over.
This is really one on the best films Gus has made, along with Elephant in my opinion. It's so beautifully crafted and made. The whole film is so deep and has true meaning.
Michael Pitt’s performance is haunting. I love all of Gus Van Sant’s work but it’s not for everyone. I’m a huge Nirvana fan but it was never meant to be biographical, it’s just an artistic interpretation of what someone like Kurt’s last days may have looked like. Like Columbine and “Elephant”.
the senter of film isnt the real last days of kurt cobain but the deprasion and the atmosfere.the real story all we now but i think this film is a real diamond...if u feel it
The paramedics didn't drop Kurt's body. They dropped Blake's. Big difference. While obviously, the movie is based on Kurt, it is not A. a documentary or B. a movie specifically about Kurt. If it was, the main character would be called Kurt Cobain, not Blake. It takes elements of Kurt's life and combines it with fiction, which I think is actually MORE respectful to Kurt's memory than anything because it doesn't claim to be a specific, dramatized account of his life.

its a brilliant movie, incredibly diverse and haunting. the concept is well developed and the mundane voyeuristic approach is ambient and intoxicating to watch.
This film is so touching and full of emotions, most people just don't get it. Many people watched it just because they thought it's about Kurt Cobain, and they just didn't get the point of the movie! As for me, this is one of the best films ever, you just gotta understand it.
Gus Van Sant did not intend to make this a movie about Kurt Cobain even if the premise is unclear here. It is a fictionalized movie about a musicians last days. Michael Pitt used Kurt Cobain as an inspiration for his character.
The last in the "Death Trilogy" of films made [other 2: 'Elephant & 'Gerry'] by Gus Van Sant [plots on real-life events but told in fictionalized accounts] 'Last Days' focuses on the final hours of Nirvana frontman - Kurt Cobain. This trailer is nicely done because it shows (through the song and acting as well as the Oregon scenery) the tremendous sense of isolation and hearbreak felt. I thought the film was entertaining and well done. It resonates because Kurt's death was the death of an era.
If you get ‘Heavier Than Heaven’ by Charles Cross, it tells you in the end all that happened during his suicide and his suicide note. It said that Courtney had cut off his hair and his pubes and kept them. She also has the jacket that he died next to. Strange. Unusual.
i don't get why people say this movie would be stupid. i love it, i think it's one of the best movie gus van sant ever made. and i mean people- it's art!
The song played (by Michael Pitt, the actor) is "Death to Birth", type it in on youtube, you'll find the song. I'd also really recommand "Happy Song" as well by his band Pagoda. : ]
I like some of Nirvana's stuff. God, so much hatred for this film. I enjoyed it as it showed what the last days of a depressed, rock star who is sick of both fame and life would be like. And that choral piece at the end... So beautiful
no podéis esperar que la película sea igual que sucedió...simplemente han querido relatar los últimos días de este gran artista solo es una representación normal y corriente y pienso que si LOVE ESTUVO DE ACUERDO EN HOMENAGEAR A KURT DE ESTA MANERA TODOS DEBERIAMOS ACEPTARLO...
@Marillia1982 Sure is. It was art about sound. The sound of the movie was the most important part. Sound lagging, catching up and then groooove. It was beautiful.
@Mega13013 Death to Birth which is written by Michael Pitt. theres a recorded version of the song with really cool chello effects by Pitt's band Pagoda
@Beholder552 I know it’s a little slow and you want more car chases and things blowing up, but if you relax for a minute you might notice how terrific the cinematography is as well as recognize the power in Pitt’s performance
courtney fought very to have this stopped during production the fact they able to make movie even loosely based on kurt is somwhat of a miracle so maybe it worth a look
@MrFLOO1 Michael Pitt who plays Blake (al a Kurt Cobain parallel) sings and plays in it. In real life Michael plays and sings in his own group called Pagoda.
@Idriss1138 It's not supposed to be Kurt. But if you noticed, Michael Pitt's character was writing left-handed, when Kurt wrote with his right hand, so it's flip-flopped basically, but they did that intentionally.
@gueneveve I agree, a lot of people I know think that the harder the song the better it is, but it's easy to make a hard song but extremely difficult to make a good song with a good tune. Kurt Cobain was very talented in making tunes for his music, he was talented at song writing and some of em expressed teen emotions at them time.
Oh Mann, ich bin echt jemand, der sich alles anguckt, und dieser Film hat echt alles übertroffen, was ich mir vorgestellt habe! Ich war richtig begeistert! :) Aber jeder, der sich diesen Film ansehen will, sollte auf etwas sehr ruhiges und stilles gefasst sein. Er gehört definitif zu meinen Lieblingsfilmen! Thumbs up!
You are right about everything else accept "It went straight to video." I saw it in a theatre plus it didn't go straight to video, it went straight to HBO.
Smells like teen spirit fans don't understand it ....
but fans of Milk it or Scentless Apprentice Love it !
Gus is the best !!!
Yup

The only reason they didnt use the name kurt Cobain its because they didnt had the rights of his name...

no movie to brag to friends about. I watched it alone and i loved it, nice athmosphere, deep and awesome music.
This movie was actually my first exposure to arthouse films
wtf is arthouse films?
@@folladordeprostis For the most part independently made films. Usually lower budget and usually submitted in the film festivals in attempt to get picked up by major production companys like a 24
I'm sorry to hear that.
I always watch this movie when I'm super depressed or just got through with a breakup, it helps because I can relate strongly

Glad you’re doing better
Loved Michael as a portrayed Kurt, Not sure why more stuff was made with him as he really reminds me of him.
its a brilliant movie, incredibly diverse and haunting. the concept is well developed and the mundane voyeuristic approach is ambient and intoxicating to watch.
The film that is. Your upload was brilliant. If I had watched this first I may never have rented the dvd.
this is my all-time favorite movie, i love it to pieces
00britney is it tat good thinking bout watching it

People can “understand” something and still not like it.
11 years in youtube!

Why did he wear Kurt’s outfits and act just like him then
one of my favorite movies
I love it. Thanks for posting. Its another day.
I totally agree.
That's exactly what it is about. It's just a truly beautiful piece of art
Oh.. I know I'm going to cry when I see this film. I cried when I watched a tributr to Kurt Cobain so...
i love gus van sant so much.
i love the scenary.
jesus, the way he walks and grunts, seems very real
It didn't suck. it was like an art type film. This movie is really good, and if you haven't saw it, do so.
i love this movie!!!

yes.you can find it at the pagoda band website.
"Aesthetic of the flow"? In Andrey Tarkovsky's films, it was called "frozen time" 40 years ago.
If you get ‘Heavier Than Heaven’ by Charles Cross, it tells you in the end all that happened during his suicide and his suicide note. It said that Courtney had cut off his hair and his pubes and kept them. She also has the jacket that he died next to. Strange. Unusual.
I never knew that this movie exist! Not until now
I LOVE THIS MOVIE. THE DAY AFTER I RENTED THIS. I WENT INTO HMV AND FLASHED £20. IT IS ONE AMAZING FILM.
12 years in youtube
Was inspired by Kurt's actual last days. but im sure you knew that :)
i don't get why people say this movie would be stupid. i love it, i think it's one of the best movie gus van sant ever made. and i mean people- it's art!

Completely agree
the song is called Death To Birth by Pagoda
Tragic & Haunting!
wow awesome!

I am so big fan of Nirvana and I love this movie.
Great movie.
This is about to come on film4 now...
very emotional movie in my opinion
Batman in his cave.
Oscar for Michael Pitt.

Very, dare I say, relaxing movie...
@Pato88888 the song is called "death to birth".
the theme song is Death to Birth.. by Michael Pitt, nice song

It's not a bad film, don't expect special effects. This movie gives you a point-of-view how Kurt Cobain lived through his last days.
I want a film about Kurt!
courtney fought very to have this stopped during production the fact they able to make movie even loosely based on kurt is somwhat of a miracle so maybe it worth a look
The song in the background the one he was singing can anyone help me out find it
¿Como se llama la canción del video?
Amazing movie.
Whats the name of that song played in the trailer ?
It's about time they made a movie about Nirvana and Kurt Cobain, like The Doors movie.
@loco4real1 YES!!!! please if ANYONE knows which SONG was playing in this tralier PLS!!!!! SAY!!!!!!!!!!
this movie is an example of true filmmaking. stop complaining that it's too boring, it's a realist take on making movies not transformers.
@MrFLOO1 Michael Pitt who plays Blake (al a Kurt Cobain parallel) sings and plays in it. In real life Michael plays and sings in his own group called Pagoda.
I can't find any download on this movie, i really want to watch it.
Can anyone send me a link on a torrent to this movie
@PieceofMindmusic thank you, finally someone who thinks Joe Anderson would be good for that role
@Idriss1138 It's not supposed to be Kurt. But if you noticed, Michael Pitt's character was writing left-handed, when Kurt wrote with his right hand, so it's flip-flopped basically, but they did that intentionally.
what the name of this song that kurt was playing on this movie plz!!?

This film it's only for people that are really a fan and read about kurt... or you will hate it. I loved it
The band's name is Pagoda
Whats the name of the song playing during this trailer?

It seems that the movie doesn't even exists on Blu ray. What a shame.

@Beholder552 How was it bad?
You are right about everything else accept "It went straight to video." I saw it in a theatre plus it didn't go straight to video, it went straight to HBO.
