My Own Private River

When you were 12 years old, you and your companions made an appointment to go to a distant place to find a corpse. You had the dream of becoming famous and the joy of traveling together.


Now, you're shivering in the street, waiting to be called away by a guest. Selling the flesh, the customer is male or female, for a few banknotes, it doesn't matter any perverted game.
Dream. Insomnia, falling asleep at any time, in a dream at any time. In the dream there is your dear mother.
You are on a journey with him. Portland, Iowa, Italy.
He said he would accompany you, no matter where.
The scenery along the way is really beautiful, but all the scenery is in a dream. There are galloping rivers, and there are schools of jumping fish.
Whenever you fall, he will accompany you, hold you, and wait for you to wake up. You fell in love with him, who else could you fall in love with?
In Iowa, the Iowa you have dreamed of countless times, you didn't find your mother. But you know that your brother is your father at the same time, and your mother is a lunatic. You think the world is crazy.
In Iowa he rejected you too. It's just for the money, he won't like a man.
In Italy, there is still no mother. He fell in love with a girl. Beautiful scenery, gentle girl, he wants to go back.
It's time to go back, he doesn't belong here in the first place, he's the mayor's son.
The decadent and even absurd life is just a moment of youthful rebellion, and he can go back with a gorgeous turn.
In a suit and leather shoes, he said to his former adoptive father, "Old man, I don't know you, go out."
This is their world, their world, their world. And I was abandoned from the beginning, wasn't I?
The road, the same road, an ugly road in your eyes.
A road that seems to have no end, you walk alone.
Is there no end? When you fall, it all ends.




Play is like life, life is like play.
2 years later, you died of a drug overdose. You made an appointment with a lovely girl, but that night, you fell at the door, no more dreams, no waking up, and you fell asleep forever.
Only the dead are always 23 years old.
He was smooth sailing afterward. All the way, the expression is dull, but wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker is just right. He became the savior.
This is their world, let him save it.

    Both form and content! The camera plays well: flashbacks, faux-documentaries, big top shots, still sex, hand-held. The imagery is also used well: the salmon against the current and the endless end. River Phoenix is ​​really amazing, "The gentleman of the night, the darling of the moon." Similar childhood and youth, the noble son was finally saved, and the faltering and carnival at the bottom spread to the end, until the ending subtitles played have a nice day, laughing at the world and laughing at you.

    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 incomprehensible.
