The story starts with Mike and ends with Mike. The beginning and the end are the calm country road, yes, "everyone is a road expert." The road with no end, the golden surging wheat fields, the untouchable clouds, and Mike lying on the road. . . It definitely takes people into a situation similar to Mike's drowsiness, so long, so peaceful, so sad. As a love literary film full of Shakespeare's dialogue, in fact, love is not its main theme. The story seems to be destined to such a tune. It has always been a very gentle development, the plot unfolds lightly, and there are not too many ups and downs, everything is just light. Perhaps, it is because of this kind of light spread that it is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This kind of spread is a kind of infiltration. It slowly penetrates into every corner of your body and into your heart, and you can better appreciate the kind of Despair smeared by a touch of sadness.
Mike's life was filled with despair and sadness. Since his deformed birth, he has never experienced maternal love, and the only remaining desire is the fragmentary memory of his mother when he was in a state of lethargy. Yes, he longed for mother's love, he longed for this kind of human warmth, he longed for this beautiful feeling to warm him, and he longed for a solid and unchanging mother's love to remind him that it belonged to him. But, precisely because of reality, Mike never owns anything in reality. The Idaho in my memory, that little place warmed by good memories, actually alludes to the pure land in his own heart. Only this piece of heart belongs to Mike's own, so abstract. For love, it is a luxury. A life like Mike's is not going to be full of love, you should have known it from the start. As the male prostitutes at the bottom of the society, they lived a gregarious and bohemian life. But Mike, don't forget, you and Scott are not the same, even though you have been together for a few years, have experienced downs and downs, support, challenges together, even if you are called by the same client at the same time. . . But Scott has everything you want but can't have. His uninhibited and indifferent is so easy, you and he are never the same people. Scott knew all too well that he would eventually return to his life to do the role he was supposed to play - the gentleman's son to the mayor. His recklessness is just a rebellion against his father, and you, Mike, you're different, you don't have a choice. You were abandoned as a child, you were born in an incestuous situation, your brother is also your father, and your world is full of haze. For Scott, he's the only person in your world that puts you at ease. Every time you pass out, he lifts you up, every time you wake up the first thing you see is Scott, and that's why you think he's your love. I was so heartbroken by such a thorough confession by the fire that Scott had sex with men for money, and he didn't believe in love between men. You say, "You know, it's possible for me. I love you. You don't have to give me money." When you say your most sincere struggle, it's so quiet that the world doesn't seem to be moving , but you really stung us all deeply. Scott gives you the biggest hug in return, yeah, what else could he do? In fact, he has done his best. As a son, he takes care of you so much and treats you as a friend. His indifference and unruly are also your weakness. For Mike, love was something that could never belong to him. When Mike saw the girl crying for Scott under the tree, how envious he actually was , She can cry at any time for love, but what can Mike do, he can only say silently, "I understand how you feel." Of course, Mike understands, of course, he understands everything, but he can't do anything. In fact, Mike knows too much.
Just like what Mike's brother said, "You have known too much." Mike has always known what the image of his mother is like, and he knows that the truth is not as described by his brother, he just can't bear to expose it, he also He needs a mother, he also needs warmth, and he also needs company. But he knew everything. He knew that his brother who used lies in front of him was actually afraid to admit that he was Mike's father. This dual identity established Mike's deformed life from the very beginning.
Some people are doomed to be alone for a lifetime. Like Mike, when he fell asleep again on the road he called "the fucked-up face", time seemed to go back to the beginning, when nothing happened, he was still so lonely, so tragic, In the nightmare is the mother's face and kind consolation. Mike in the dream is the most beautiful. He is still alone. Mike, who is accompanied by despair and loneliness, Scott is just a passerby. He finally returns to his position and shakes his head. A sentence clears up the previous depravity, hugging his love girl and living the life Scott should have. At that time, after Mike fell to the ground, would someone lift him up and put his coat on him? Who would be the man in the vision repeating what Scott used to do to Mike? That lonely road with no end is Mike's life, destined to be monotonous loneliness and despair. Mike walks around and takes nothing with him, but nothing that really belongs to him.
River Phoenix's wonderful performance is really a must. His temperament is so similar to Jonny Depp, his handsome appearance, absolutely recognized acting skills, and his decadent and unruly eyes are so captivating. In order to walk into the role of Mike well, Phoenix tried to take drugs to find a state of decadence. In the end, maybe because the performance was too good, and the fate was over, Phoenix also fell at the door of Depp's beloved bar because of drugs and never woke up. Since then He became a classic. People say that God always likes to take away the people he loves, so Phoenix must be in heaven.
