After many years, I learned that the male protagonist of this film turned out to be River, and I liked his "Walk With Me" very much. Later, I learned that Scott was actually played by Keanu Reeves! ! I didn't expect the big stars in the future to also appear in this film, so I revisited it again with excitement
In fact, I don't want to attribute him to the subject of homosexuality in this film. Although most of the characters in it are actually gay, the whole film actually tells a story of love and search.
Mike, played by river, is a male prostitute. Because he has suffered from the mental illness of narcolepsy since he was a child, he was unconscious when he fell ill. He could only lie down and do nothing to him without being felt. Scott, played by Keanu Reeves, is a rich boy. Because he is dissatisfied with his father's discipline since he was a child, he dissolutely blends into the bottom society and meets a group of "gangsters" known in society. The crowd, though debauched, has always had hope that when Scott inherits his father's estate, he will be able to take them out of the underworld.
Similarly, Mike and Scott are also good friends. Whenever Mike falls ill, Scott will always be by his side.
Later, Mike wanted to find his mother, and his mother had been in a mental hospital since he was a child. It turned out that his mother fell in love with a cowboy, but the cowboy stopped loving her after marriage, because his mother was mentally ill, Killed him once while watching an open-air movie, and later entered a mental hospital because Mike was very young and only had those broken memories, but later learned that his birth was actually born after his mother had sex with his brother during a mental illness took him. His birth was a complete mistake, which made him even more determined to find his mother, so Scott accompanies him on the road to find his mother.
Because Mike and Scott are both gay, but they are also very good friends, one night, by the bonfire, Mike was very sincere, but cautiously revealed his love for Scott, he said: "I have sex with them. , take their money for a living, I'm with you, I won't ask for your money, you know, you don't have to pay me because I love you, I really want to kiss you, bro, because I love you "..." But because Scott knew that he was going back to the upper class, if he was with a man, he would not be recognized by many people, even though he also loved Mike.
Later, they met a young woman on the road, the woman fell in love with Scott, and Scott did not refuse this love, he said to Mike: "I have to leave for a while, we may meet on the road in the future" , Mike sat by the bed, thinking, smoking, and recalling the past of him and Scott, he may know that this is the last goodbye, when he was going to see the last time, the car went farther and farther.
Later, Mike didn't find his mother, but returned to this group of "gangster" friends. Perhaps, this is his "home", and Scott inherited his father's legacy and became a society in a blink of an eye. The upper class, the rich kids were all discussing the return of his prodigal son, but at this time the group of former friends came to find him, but he said he didn't know him, his past mistakes were all because they came to seduce him, and now he is. Already know that you will do the right thing.
Later, an old man named Bob in the lower society died of discouragement. When Scott was still there, Bob should have taken care of him the most, because he hoped to get out of here, and now His hopes were dashed.
In the end, Scott attended his father's funeral. Not far away, Mike and the others were also mourning for Bob's death, but one side was serious, and the other was "rave", and they were people who were abandoned by this society. , why do you want to be the same as those who pity themselves and pretend to be superior?
Mike looked at the person he once loved, but was abandoned by him, his eyes were full of anger and sadness, Scott didn't belong here, and he didn't belong to him at all, but there was no way, he loved him , what he did for Mike is still in memory, but he's his Scott, not my Scott
Mike embarked on the journey again, this time with no one to accompany him, and he had no goals.
"My Own Idaho" is a movie I like very much. At that time, both river and Keanu Reeves were at their peak acting skills, and they were both at the peak of their appearance. In such a movie, they dedicated their peaks. Acting, I don't think Keanu Reeves in the later "Matrix" is as good as the eyes or other aspects in this movie.
I would like to talk about river in particular. He starred in Stephen King's adaptation of the film "Walk With Me" when he was very young. I also witnessed his acting skills in this film. I wrote about him in my diary. , and interested friends can go and see. His untimely death really made me think, if he were still alive, he would definitely be as popular as Plum in today's film industry. So, river is one of my favorite actors
Let's talk about this movie, because it is a same-sex movie, it is inevitable to have sex scenes, but this film is very innovative. The sex scenes in it are demonstrated by several still pictures, that is to say, you see Not what they do, but just to see how they do and the results, this is a very wise decision, compared to continuous action, this method not only allows a good avoidance of censorship, but also can express a static beauty , is memorable. As one bean friend said: "Those still sex scenes, like oil paintings, make the audience lack the rippling."
This film tells the story of a man who longs for his love, but is abandoned in the end, but this abandonment is also unavoidable. Scott himself belongs to the upper class. Although this kind of love is true in his opinion, But it's wrong, and Mike, his birth is just the seed that his brother and mother accidentally planted, but he is eager to find a place to belong, but his mother and lover have left him without exception, how much I sympathize with him , those sincere eyes seem to tell us: "I love him, but he doesn't belong to me"
"I am a taster of the road. I have tasted the road all my life. This road has no end. It probably revolves around the whole world."
