How would you describe his performance? Sincere, slightly shy, intelligent but not cunning, keen perception, fragile heart. Looking at river's movies, the script is very weak, and most of the time, the whole movie is supported by the river. If you change to other actors, you can only create ordinary low-cost movies. River's role in the work is not a hero, nor a savior, but an ordinary teenager, youth, a male prostitute who is at the bottom of the society suffering from drug addiction, and a soldier who survived the Vietnam War with scars. These characters are because of river's interpretation. With a gentle light, everything is covered by it, like the rain falling from the sky. We are moved by this innocence, even if it is so rare, so out of reach, in this muddy reality.
Just like the boy in my own private idaho, river's performance defended this innocence until his death, and the ups and downs of childhood gave him an unusual heart. As a child, he became a vegetarian because he saw the slaughter of animals. He is also a member of many animal protection organizations. He is always caring for the people around him, but the pressure of becoming famous as a teenager, and the people around him who are aggressive, It makes the river more and more powerless to guard this innocence. In order to shoot my own private idaho, river fell into the sea of poison in order to perform the role. In order to reflect the darkness and despair of this work, river paid too much price. His purity and uncompromising finally composes a sad ending.
It was the Reagan administration, when everything was about order, and the trend of thought was always conservative. If River were to live now, what kind of movies would he make, what kind of eyes would he stare at, would his sorrow and purity be lost, how radiant his light would be on the screen, all these, What is left to us, after all, is only stored in deep memories and reverie.
Looking at the eyes of river staring in dogfight, it instantly coincides with the eyes of adjani in Hugo's daughter, that is the exchange of souls, and through the screen, they pour their fiery souls into our hearts.
over the rainbow is the end of river
