my own idaho

Me and your Seattle.

Me and your Portland.

Me and your Romagna.

And, my own Idaho.

The film's narration of "me", MIKE, is about love and wayfinding. Mother is my Idaho, but in reality, my Idaho is the long, empty, rough road, and my mother's intentions point to a void. In the end, what I found was my own Idaho.

The film's narration of "you", scott, is about unruly and growth. Childhood rebellion and the return after encountering love, who knows whether there is a more determined love behind this cruel return.

In the final analysis, we cannot completely touch other people's things, let alone require and standardize them. The happiest thing in the world is to walk a road happily with you. And when they wake up, they have sex, and when they get drunk, they disperse. It is the inevitable trend of cruel interaction between people.

It's just that I'll be miserable too. At Bob's funeral, we'll show you how happy we are. In my own Idaho, I would fall in agony again, be stripped clean and meet new fellow travelers. Life is so ups and downs, like a wilderness.

It's just that I hate that people's hearts are not as good as water, and it makes waves in a calm and peaceful way.

    This is the doomed wandering in life, the real homelessness, no spiritual belonging. No one cares where he sleeps every night. The fainting made me cry and runny, heartache to death. On the cemetery, Sunflower was silent. That desolate road leads to eternal loneliness, mother's tenderness, and the origin of life. I also have a sunflower. I think of him saying, I want to kiss you. This road never ends.

    Many years later, when I recalled this movie, what I first remembered was the endless loneliness and wandering of the River standing on the invisible country road on the endless prairie of Idaho.

  • Mike Waters: This chick's living in a new car ad.

  • Scott Favor: It's when you start doing things for free, that you start to grow wings. Isn't that right, Mike.

    Mike Waters: What?

    Scott Favor: Wings, Michael. You grow wings, and become a fairy.
