A movie called "My Own Private Idaho", a movie that has won many awards, and a movie introduced by people as a classic gay movie. But it makes people feel sad.
I think it is just a love story of unrequited love.
The beginning of the story of a young man named Mike is that he is watching an endless road. It seems to indicate that he has been watching all his life. Spent in the end of loneliness, born in an indecent relationship, and the strange disease of sleepiness anytime and anywhere when tense, I have been looking for a mother all my life, but I can only see my childhood mother in the illusion that I often surfaced. He is the only one The way of living is painful. When he finds his true love, he is struggling to find his love, but he is helpless. The other party tells him that he does not believe that two men can love each other.
Scott is a man from a completely different environment. His father is the mayor. He The seeming self-depravity is for revenge. He always guards Mike every time he goes to sleep, but he eventually returns to a life circle that symbolizes all normal life, inherits his father’s inheritance, and marries the Italian woman he met during the journey. . He does not avoid his past, all the ugliness he has experienced, but he will never go back.
At the end of the film, Mike still sleeps on the borderless highway, but this time there is no shelter beside him. He’s the man. On both sides of the road is a piece of emerald green and endless withered yellow, and he died on the withered side. In the
film, Mike’s actor, River Phoenix, uses this in real life. The film won the actor at the Venice Film Festival, and died of injecting drug overdose two years later. He was only 23 years old. There are not many films left in his life, and his fate seems to be connected with that in the movie. It is said that he writes autobiography for the characters every time he makes a movie, and this one writes the most, including the film where Mike is in love by the campfire. The section of Scott confession was also from the hands of River Phoenix. A famous Hollywood director Peter Bogdanovic wrote an article to mourn him, "Phoenix once said to me that he himself is not addicted to drugs, he is just addicted to his role."
And Keanu Reeves, the actor of the other male protagonist in the film, Scott, reached the peak of his career with the "Matrix" series in the next few years.
