@blibjorb Wow amazing! Does he have some kind of website where he posts his modeling photos? I would love to see the resemblens! :) You're very lucky to have such a talented son ;)
@MsSMSgirl He was straight... he was a damn good an actor... he is playing the role of a street hustler much the same like Keanu Reeves. He was as straight as Keanu Reeves or anyone else.
@MsSMSgirl He had girlfriends like Martha Plimpton and Samantha Mathis. He was an actor who played his role to perfection. U should watch Running on Empty and Jimmy Reardon, he has done some pretty non gay stuff...
This film sears a hole in the sun.......but only 'cos it William Shakespeare's Henry IV with some great front end but the back end is 500 years old ! And I could not see a credit to Shakespeare ! Shame.
river is b-e-a-u-tiful! like daaaaaaaaaamn, they don't make them like him anymore! + he was talented, he defo had the full package on the go! such ashame he was taken away from us in the blink of an eye, he's the only 'hollywood' star, i have time for, so so sad, there was so much more of him im sure everyone would of loved too have seen, but he's defo at a better place now, sleep tight angel!
"Do you want to be my friend?- No.- Get in the car. -No. This guy's a pervert, i just know it....lol. the same thing happened to me when i was walking home once, Creepiest moment of my life.
I find 3:09 to 3:28 difficult to watch. I can't help but think of the seizure River had the night he died. Then to hear those lines "How do we know he's ok?" "Well he's not dead."....Jeez, it's been nearly 17 years but I still can't get over. It's insane, I didn't even know the guy personally.
can someone tell me what happens in part 1? i just found out about this movie a few days ago, so i was too late to catch part 1 before it got deleted X(
LOL on you side bar comment on this. Nice upload of this movie. For those that never seen it. Very interesting cinematography for this film. So sad about River though. I hate Drugs...He was just too talented and gifted to have died so young like the way he died. Keanu lost one of his best friends.
too gay, but interesting premise of spoiled prince playing pauper (Keanu Reeves) and befriending real pauper (river Pheonix) while prince betrays him and doesn't give a fuck becoming another sellout greedy spoiled asshole while Pauper eat shits and dies.
I was working at a CD store 16 years ago, and a guy walked in. I couldn't breathe, because I thought it was River Phoenix. It wasn't, but I married him and had a baby boy who was born the night River Phoenix died and I named him River. True story.
@LoveMichaelCera Yes he does look a lot like him. The other weird part of the story is that my River started doing "commercials' around the house at age 4, writing his own plays at 5, so I got him an agent here in Denver and he did print, radio, and TV commercials until middle school when he started theater. He is at Denver Center for Performing Arts now, acting, singing and modeling. All him.
@LoveMichaelCera My River self-taught himself to read and write at age 3, which was how he was able to write his own plays. Doing amazing liberal slam poetry by 4th grade on stage.
@blibjorb Not to burst your bubble, but River Phoenix died in 1993. So to make your story plausible, you would have had to met the guy in 1992-93, considering River died in 93 and it takes 9 months to have a baby. Which doesn't make sense because if you met in 92, that was almost 20 years ago, not 16 or anywhere near it.
@traintrackzzz Well, my River just turned 18 this past Halloween, so that does make his birthday in '93. I met his dad right after grad in '92, River was born the next year. Jeez, I'm getting old, can't even remember the years of my kids' births. True story, still. And yes, he does have a striking resemblance to Phoenix, but with brown hair, very chiseled.
@blibjorb Wow. Im 17. Id love to see a picture of your River haha just kidding. But seriously that is pretty cool. I would be honored if i were your son to be named after such an inspiration and on the eve of his death too.
@traintrackzzz I did not know that Phoenix had died that night. River was given his name the next morning, only then did I realize the tragic death. Fucking Flea from Chili Peppers and Heroine. River Sage knows to NEVER do white drugs. White bread, white rice, white people. All toxic.
Later towards the end of the movie Scott mentions how long they know each other.. I believe he said 3 1/2 years ... Mike has been on the streets for a long time but Scott left home close to 4 years ago and then Scott became a hustler..
They're not posters, they are on the covers of those gay skin mags. Probably a means to let us know what the characters think, what they are willing to do for money.
Keono mentions situations of stress brings about River's condition where he passes out. I always thought sex was pleasurable mood not stressful one...LoL.
hey at 2:22 the guy on the joyboy magazine looks like kierin culkin lol..but what was the whole point of keanu & all them being on magazines wats with that scene
the only time magazing covers have ever come to life for me was on a crazy drug trip...and it wasn't hot male "models", it was some US Weekly issue, so yeah, nothing sexy there AT ALL.
No. There shouldn't be. I haven't watched it from here but I've made tributes from it and it seems to be all there. I joined the parts together number by number to make ten minute ones, so as far as I know, it's all there.
