FREE ON YOUTUBE Gus Van Sant - Last Days

FREE ON YOUTUBE Young men on the (voluntary) path to death. This is one of the themes of Gus van Sant. In this case a famous man dies - we notice that it is Kurt Cobain. Since in our society no celebrity may die without his death being analyzed to death by "experts", Gus van Sant must be praised: Here, the hero is simply allowed to leave life in silence. In the final phase of his drug addiction. A death without meaning. Without false heroism. A young person who has lived without appreciating life. And wasn't grunge the music that staged the self as a disposable article? The singer from Last Days is called Blake. In his first scenes he pukes. When friends call him, he listens without comment. They start to worry about Blake. And he? He worries about being a walking Rock'n Roll cliché. He seems to have long since died inwardly. All the lights out. You can recognize him in public, but he is already isolated inside. Like a ghost, he lives separated from all others. So addicts die. Not with a loud BANG. Quietly. Like a whimper.
