What film?

Can anybody solve this idea?
HIS LASTEST FILM ISN �T AS GOOD AS THE LAST I SAW.
Is the lastest film the last I saw? if so, I am comparing a film with itself.
If the last film I saw is different from his lastest one, It means I didn �t see his lastest so How can I compare them!
I don �t get the exact idea! please help me!!!! |

I did see his latest film, but the last film I saw wasn �t his and I saw it later than his latest film. It �s latest compared with his other fims.

"The last I saw" here is implying "the last before this one". It is very common usage.

Just so you know: There �s no such word as LASTEST.
It �s either his latest or his last.
So your sentence should say:
HIS LATEST FILM ISN�T AS GOOD AS THE LAST (one) I SAW.
The last one you saw could be any of the others he �s made, EXCEPT that latest one
which is the newest film he has made.
Hope this helps.

His latest film isn �t as good as the last (the previous film of his that I watched) film I saw.
Last = the last film of his you saw, not necessarily the last film he made. |
