The Last Request

Tubi Tv has some odd films, this one being one of them. This film had me scratching my head asking why. There wer some decent moments in it but it was very spotty all over. It did have great music all around in it, that is something it had going for it.

I was expecting this to be awful, but it ended up being a pretty good film in it's own artsy and weird way. Wasn't expecting that. Something different for once and it worked.

I wanted to see what this producer had in mind for the film. The Last Request is enriched with many metaphors. For example, the film starts out being a nice sunny day but then the foreshadowing shows it go gloomy, rainy and then darkish.

I felt the story was impressive and scary in it's reality about people. How everything ultimately affects our psyche and shapes us into the human beings we become.

And lastly, for someone who was personally in the foster care system, I cried at the foster care scene. The foster care scene was horribly scary in the fact that what was said about the foster care system was true. And I can personally attest to this. It doesn't stuff always happen that way in the foster care system but it does happen.

This is so bad it's entertaining. I'm not sure what is worse: the acting, the writing, the hilariously inept directing, the prepaid phone it was shot on, the editing by butcher knife and hatchet, the sound that was recorded by a deaf man...take your pick. Watch only to laugh at the fact that anyone can make a movie but most should certainly not.

I can't really rate the film because I fell asleep 20 minutes into it. If I'm having trouble sleeping I'll know what film to watch from now on to help my insomnia.
