People say that the entire nineties will be his, this young man with a handsome face and acting skills. And " My Own Private Idaho " gave him the infinite expectations of the Venetian actor and people. It is this film that gives people the most talk and the strongest reason to miss   . He belongs to the unruly teenager of that era, loves nature, vegetarianism, and is apostate, but he does not belong to the mainstream. Death made him a person of eternal youth, everyone can only remember a young River Phoenix, and after his death, there are still many people around the world in memory of him. An excellent actor has not only natural good acting skills, but also acquired hard work, River Phoenix is ​​exactly such an actor   .

      4.5, Fox has a bit of Herzog's character, just like Fitzcarado who tried to build an opera house in the rainforest in "Overland Boat", it represents a kind of reconstruction of the "civilized" world, the reconstruction of "America". Action and possibility, there is no doubt that "civilization" will disintegrate again, but instead of putting us in the "little climax" of adventure like Herzog, "Mosquito Shore" uses a traditional, consumption It starts with an American landscape of ideology, just like the "starting point" of most adventure genre films or road movies, and then leads from the starting point to the symmetrical structure of Regress-Construct-Deconstruct. Disappointing: Although the film shows Fox's transcendent loneliness in a sense, and the failure of priests who symbolize traditional "morality", on the other hand, until the end, it remains as a kind of deformed family film, family values ​​and family values. Existence and patriarchal worship are lingering, and in contrast to the Nietzschean tragedy of Herzog's murder of the gods, the conciliatory silence in the last shot of Mosquito is rather ironic rather than heavy.
