    Decided not to label this piece of homo, although such a fragile confession by the bonfire is really distressing, but this kind of dependence, longing and yearning is just another person's experience of a moment in life, what a cold and cruel life. No one has any meaning to anyone else, everyone is on their own life trajectories, and it is of course irrelevant. I really like Gusvansant's cold-eyed watching, no matter how ruthless the knife is, he can still get through...

    I watched it in winter. It was snowing outside. I really liked this film. Is it youth, a vow, separation, or eternity? Is it a dream or reality? The two boys have similar but different lives. Mike's eyes are so lonely but full of tenderness, like a drunken little animal. He suffers from severe narcolepsy. He doesn't know when he will be taken away by whom. Looking for his mother's desire and attitude towards life, in fact, his youth is not a mystery. Is it an unresponsive love? I think it's not...

    Not very understandable. It turned out to be Keanu Reeves, so I said why he is so handsome, but I was actually attracted by his appearance. River turned out to die young. It's sad, it's still sad, after all, it won't be in the same world, not necessarily by identity, but by fundamentally different pursuits. The subtitle group has attached a lot of comments about Hamlet, which are very useful, thank you. A little bit about some freeze-frame pictures that are suitable for driving...

    The affinity between the highway genre and gay movies lies in the nihilistic shell of the two. The environment in the middle of the United States does have a kind of natural "shadow of exposure". It is no wonder that Paris, Texas, the Easy Rider and the like all use this to create the shadow of nihility. trauma. It is inappropriate to express alienation directly here. Alienation is just a sign of hope and failure in the actions of the characters, so these films never use nihilism as the main...

    2.5 brushes. A taster of the road, without a home. In fact, Mike is not only free from the normal crowd, but also from the marginalized crowd. He just gave people a sense of distance from the world, and it felt a little better when playing with Scott. He was pure but never had warm eyes, and when he spoke, his voice was gentle and gentle, but there was no change in intonation, which made people feel...

    #CC# adapted from Shakespeare's "Henry IV" Acts I, II and "Henry V". The characters are Street boys, a fusion of [queer culture] and classical theatre. The film begins with an endless road under the western sky, and River's nostalgic imagery - like a salmon tracing his birthplace in the rapids, he is eager to find his mother, and the vision of a house appears many times, even in the Broken on the road, Freud wrote in "Interpretation of Dreams", "Parts of a house may refer to a part of the...

    Rewatch. In essence, it is still a road film, especially the image of the road is very obvious. In addition to the jump cut, the more interesting part of this film is the overall design change from the United States to Italy, which not only does not jump out, but fits Scott's character change. It's hard for me to describe the feeling that Mike and Scott were in the same state before they went to Italy, and this consistency is reflected in the tonalities of the images. After going to Italy, the...

    Two years later, just like the opening scene, river phoenix fell to the street world with a drug overdose. There are always a lot of coincidences in "I could love someone even if I was't paid for...

    Through this film, I learned about the hybrid relationship between Keanu, River, and Johnny, three men who overlap with similar scents. Since there is no special feeling for men and boys, the deep charm of the film also seems to be...

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.
