    Rebellion and loneliness, alienation and lack of parents, youthful impulses and final powerlessness continue, but slightly...

    I think I have to experience it slowly, but it seems that life like that is something I resist in my heart, so there are some things I can't seem to...

    The movie is quite emotional, with fast-moving shots, still pictures during sex, and an endless road. The director discusses the issue of identity with a literary gesture, and River Phoenix's sense of rootlessness interprets it too...

    I mean, for me, I could love someone even if I, you know, wasn't paid for it... I love you, and... you don't pay...

    TIFF's recent Keanu Reeves series has a total of 11 screenings. Keanu has recorded 11 short films of introduction/tidbits/reviews/cute style for this series, which are played before each one. Today, the curator said, this (Keanu's introduction) is the best fucking thing you're going to see. Well, it...

    Recently, I participated in Keanu's meeting and recording program (130621). Although it has passed the age of confusion, it is still charming and very friendly. After the recording, a boy next to me shouted: do you remember River Phoenix! Keanu stepped down under the instructions of the staff and went far without hearing his words. I was sweating sitting next to me! I really hate this kind of person...including the interview media who drag others to listen to their...

    It's so hard for gays to fall in love with straight/bi want not to be...

    Obviously it is a movie of three people, but he can never have a name. Phoenix River and Keanu are at the peak of their appearance, and the classical drama lines in the play are so eloquent, but Phoenix's short and embarrassing life outside the play. Highways and narcolepsy have strong symbolic meanings, and the bed scene PPT is simply a hilarious surprise. The beloved, his journey is the power and the girl, the humble boy who secretly loves, and sharing the bonfire of the night with him is...

    I really don't see the point. . . The scenery of Idaho Highway is really good, but if you really can't stand RIO, you just smoke it. . . Did someone say that RIO and 10,000 look alike? ? I think it...

    The first half is like a swamp, showing the muddy life of male prostitutes, and the second half is like a stream converging into a story of self-seeking. Mike's life is like a winding and lonely road at the beginning and end of the film. His parents are unspeakable. His life is often broken like his fainting disease. After his sincere and passionate love for Scott is broken, the inner harbor is only a child. With the fragmented memories of Idaho and his mother, he actually longs for a "normal"...

My Own Private Idaho quotes

  • Bob Pigeon: Scott. When you inherit your fortune, on your twenty-first birthday, let's see... how far away is this?

    Scott Favor: One week away, Bob, just one more week.

    Bob Pigeon: Let's not call ourselves robbers, but Diana's foresters. Gentlemen of the shade. Minions of the Moon. Men of good government.

    Scott Favor: [under his breath] When I turn twenty-one, I don't want any more of this life. My mother and father will be surprised at the incredible change. It will impress them more when such a fuck-up like me turns good than if I had been a good son all along. All the past years I will think of as one big vacation. At least it wasn't as boring as schoolwork. All my bad behavior I'm going to throw away to pay my debt. I will change when everybody expects it the least.

  • Scott Favor: I only have sex with a guy for money.

    Mike Waters: Yeah, I know.

    Scott Favor: And two guys can't love each other.

    Mike Waters: Yeah.

    Mike Waters: Well, I don't know. I mean... I mean, for me, I could love someone even if I, you know, wasn't paid for it... I love you, and... you don't pay me.

    Scott Favor: Mike...

    Mike Waters: I really wanna kiss you, man... Well goodnight, man... I love you though... You know that... I do love you.
