Seeing Mike and Scot pretending to be robbers to scare away their accomplices, I don't know why, but an inexplicable sense of familiarity came to my mind. When I was younger, what I did with my friends seemed serious to me at the time. Children's ridiculous things, those hot summer days, those hot concrete roads that never end, those loach caught under the sun,,,, when the weather gets hot, it's easy to get homesick.
The style of the movie is something I've never seen before, it tends to be warmer, with endless fields, country roads, and sex scenes that I've never seen before, a bit sculptural. Only then did I realize that the movie has wonderful accompaniment from time to time.
No matter how unruly, Scot is still the same after inheriting the family property, and can't wait to draw a line from his past.
I don't like this style of movies, I have almost zero resistance to narration movies, wondering if the movie would be more attractive to me if the narration was in Mike's tone, purely because Franco said this is the movie he cried every time he watched it just came. River was really beautiful back then.
At the end of the movie, Mike is upside down on the endless road in Idaho, and I'd like to believe it was Scot who helped him into the car at the end.
Looking at the whole movie, I feel that River's acting is very good, that's all, maybe I'm not good enough, but I'm still willing to spend more time on similar movies in the future, the picture is soft and messy. Maybe go to see another film from the director, Elephant.
