Last Night is a 1998 Canadian drama film by Don McKellar. It was filmed in Toronto.
Set in Toronto at an unknown date, Last Night tells the story of how a variety of intersecting characters spend their final evening on Earth. It seems the world is to end at midnight (Eastern Standard Time) as the result of a calamity that is not explained, but which has been expected for several months. There are several scenes of an ominously glowing sun, which gets progressively larger and brighter even into the night.
Some people in the film choose to spend their last evening alone, others with loved ones, others in prayer, others in public mayhem, and still others at raucous festivities. The owner of a power company Duncan (David Cronenberg) spends the majority of his final day calling up every single one of his customers to reassure them that their heating gas will be kept on until the very end. Meanwhile, his wife Sandra (Sandra Oh) prepares to fulfill their suicide pact when she becomes stranded with a depressed widower Patrick (Don McKellar) preparing to die while listening to music and drinking wine on his roof, surrounded by mementoes of his recently deceased wife. The widower's best friend Craig (Callum Keith Rennie) participates in a nearly non-stop sex marathon as he attempts to fulfill every fantasy he has ever had, at one point awkwardly asking Patrick to join him. Sarah Polley appears as Patrick's sister Jennifer; their family chooses to have a final meal together although he leaves prematurely to seek his own finale. Jackie Burroughs makes an appearance as an apparently mentally disturbed woman who jogs around announcing how much time is left before the end. Arsinée Khanjian also appears as a mother on an abandoned streetcar who is paralyzed by despair.
Last night my future baby mama left me,
So bring me a bottle of rum and buy me a bag of sensi,
Me a mash up the dance, mash up the dance scene,
Me a mash up the dance, mash up the dance scene.
Back track two days see,
She went crazy,
Oh my days,
She calling me lazy,
Still no ring, no place to stay and no baby,
Maybe baby we can talk about these things another day
I try to say
She wouldn't listen to me,
Instead she turned me away.
Fast forward to today,
Going out with my mates,
Penetrate the school faces at the gates,
At the place where I play
we're to much just to rave,
Gotta forget the other day
Gimme little drink and I'm a mash up the place.
(Chorus)
Single life,
Saturday Night,
Getting high.
Last night my future baby mama left me,
So bring me a bottle of rum and buy me a bag of sensi,
Me a mash up the dance, mash up the dance scene,
Me a mash up the dance, mash up the dance scene.
scap rap sing along,
no back chatting
A long thing
Robin Hood bathing
I come to save the dance,
I come to save the dance with my drunken dancing
Wheel up come again, come a roots a shocking,
Wheel up come again, ain't no stopping me shocking
Now I'm talking lazy,
Vision hazy,
Whoopse daisy,
Watch your feet darling,
What's ya name
What ya drinking?
Barman...alazazy
(Chorus)
Single life,
Saturday Night,
Getting high.
Last night my future baby mama left me,
So bring me a bottle of rum and buy me a bag of sensi,
Me a mash up the dance, mash up the dance scene,
Me a mash up the dance, mash up the dance scene.
