She was in total control of everything in her life- this
fits the perfect description of the octogenarian Harriet (Shirley MacLaine
).She wants everything to be perfect- that’s how she rolls, even to the point
that she wanted to manipulate how her obituary would look like.
Do people really do that in real life? Manipulate their obituaries?
Well, I would say some it’s improbable but not impossible if someone is used to
having her way. People always want to
leave a positive impression of themselves before they cross over into the
afterlife. This is when Anne Sherman’s (Amanda Seyfried) character comes into play. She
is tasked to write about the obituary of Harriet. But what’s with Harriett? Why
do people hate her so much? Why do people perceive her as mean and ruthless?
Anne Sherman is out to find out what her neighbors would say about Harriett.Why
do they fear her? And why would someone say that the best thing about Harriett
is for her to be dead?
Tasked to get more information, Anne Sherman embarks on a journey in seeking the truth
about her latest client. In the course of their interaction, Anne would
eventually put all the pieces together. What kept Harriett ticking? Why is she
totally controlling of herself and the people around her?
In the latest installment to be distributed by Star Cinema
in the Philippines, The Last Word definitely promises one of the best roles of
Amanda Seyfried to date. Not to be outdone, Shirley MacLaine’s portrayal would
make us hate her but in the process understand where her character is coming
from. The film was part of the 2017
Sundance Film Festival. Be the first to watch The Last Word in Philippine cinemas nationwide this March 22, 2017!
