    Three stars for CD1 and four stars for CD2. The ending is the best part. The conflict between social classes, Scott's betrayal and abandonment, the two people's search and reconstruction of their own selves, and a kind of silent pain - stray man forgetting (a gay fell in love with a straight man), which is unforgettable. The rich theme finally draws a clue for the excessive literature and art in the first half. The sex scenes are all handled with still split shots,...

    Such love is better not to. Scott is too indifferent, it is two worlds, you should not enter Mike's world, give him warmth and bluntly abandon...

    The second generation of orphans and officials, passion and indifference, love and betrayal, under the cloudy sky, the highway in Idaho is like a broken face. Generally speaking, the rhythm is very slow, full of literature and art, and small details are the bright spots, but too flat plots can easily make people drowsy, and prose-like movies are not suitable for most...

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.
