"Last Days" reminded me of the anger that greeted Bob Woodward's "Wired: The Short Life and Fast Times of John Belushi" from the SNL star's friends because the scribe depicted their pal in a one-dimensional manner. He was a drug "Last Days" reminded me of the anger that greeted Bob Woodward's "Wired: The Short Life and Fast Times of John Belushi" from the SNL star's friends because the scribe depicted their pal in a one-dimensional manner. He was a drug addict. Director Gus Van Sant, who seems to be in a "I can be more European than you" contest with Jim Jarmusch, unfairly shows "Blake"(Michael Pitt) when he's at his most pathetic, his last days. "Last Days" is admirable for not being a traditional biopic like "Walk the Line", or "Ray", in which we see the artist's rise and fall, but by effacing the rise, this film must be very dispiriting and off-putting to those who knew the killer of big hair. Nevertheless, "Last Days" is brilliant in implicating Blake's friends(a veiled reference to Courtney Love) for the late singer's death by not doing anything. Shortly before Blake performs a song, he's badgered by a houseguest who wants help in the music biz, seemingly oblivious to his connection's drug-addled state. Interestingly, this leech seems to be suggestive of Rivers Cuomo, and his song "Across the Sea". "Last Days" is no doubt, a downer, but an essential document of how unglamorous drugs really are.… Expand
