im sorry but River was amazing. I keep saying this every section of this movie that I finish. It's so sad he died so young he had such natural talent. drugs are so lame. I wish River was still alive.
Based on looking at the song list and hearing what I can of the song, my guess would be "Getting Into the Outside" by Conrad Bud Montgomery, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. It's lovely, though - I'd love to get a hold of it.

Did anyone get teary-eyed over this scene at all? Mike's just a kid and his life is all messed up cos of his family. He is so lost, and when he reads the postcard, my god, its so so sad. Its just not fair! All he wants is to be normal.
yeah the condition is :) - but is it not occassionally more likely to happen if you feel a sudden strong emotion - for instance fear or if you are stressed it could trigger Cataplexy which is sometimes noted as being an early symptom of Narcolepsy? - sorry i don't have any experiance of narcolepsy so i could be wrong - if so do correct me ^^
no i dont think the fact that his brothers his dad is meant to be the reason hes narcoleptic i think its just a coincidence or its an effect of an attachment issue called.. erm... *cant remember but i studied it in psychology* haha :)
The whole scene with his brother/father is so brilliantly acted; I can't believe it. It just goes to show how amazing of an actor River really was, and what kind of actor we're missing today.
mikes mom was sick for sleeping with that kid so in the flasback mikes the baby that his mom is holding and his dad is the kid right ..damn thats some shit lol
@tastycannabisbrownie well when has he??? seriously? he's not a great actor , he is good and cool, MAtrix was good and i thoght he was good in Parenthood
wat i think is "mom" had a relationship with underage richard and mike was the result and he was then put into an instution bcuz "mom" was considered unsafe, his narpolepsy is the result of him being away from his mother (but i dnt kno if this is right :-)just wat i think)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
another interesting part is at 4:21, they show Mike as a baby with mom, and she has him dressed up in a pink suit. I have read this frequently in the bios of suspected mind control cases/killers with multiple personality disorder. They are often brought up in intentionally gender-disidentifying situations, with parents in homosexual relationships, cross-dressing, or forcing the child to wear children's clothing.
killers/nut cases are often brought up in homosexual families? I see way more many sexual molestors and serial killers come from nuclear, catholic families. where did you read that? if I dressed my son in Pink I might have personality disorder because society thinks it is a girl's color? hahaha, I don't mean to argue, whatever you read might have had a point but...
I said mind control cases in general, including mind-controlled killers, are frequently brought up in gender-misidentified/dysfunctional family environments, as an intentional part of the programming. It must be due to some affect that it has on the psyche of the child, making them less self-identifying , confused, and more easily programmed.
you see more killers from straight families because there are more PEOPLE from straight families. Almost all families are straight families. There are very few 'gay' families.
I was talking about 'monarch' mind control projects, where there is very often intentional 'gender-bending' conditioning present in the child's home setting.
I finally watched this movie and I really think without a doubt that Mike was the product of incest. Mike learns from Richard( the "brother") that his mother spent time in a institution because she was "unsafe". My guess is she was sent there after it was discovered that her pregnancy was the result of her sexually abusing her eldest son Richard. My ideas were reinforced when Richard looks at Mike almost as a father would look at a son, and says "but we were still a family, me, you, mom."
Ive seen this movie on dvd. and @ 2:05 when he fights with him, when he gets tossed back onto the chair there is like a little squeek, i dunno if it was from River or from his dad laughing, but I didnt hear it on this.
i understood what u said but why did he call him his brother when he was talking to Scott and then he said that i know your my father when they had that talk about his mom
The way I took it was that Mike had been brought up to think his dad was actually his brother, age difference maybe, I haven't seen Idaho in a while so I can't be sure until I watch it again, but Mike knew it was his father. So I think it was his dad, only Mike'd been told it was his brother growing up.
Although it is never made clear, I believe that Mike's brother was also his father. When "flashbacks" were shown, I took it as there were 3 people in the "flashback," - Mike, his brother, and his mother. I believe Mike is the product of incest.
If the other boy in the flashback was simply a young man who impregnated Mike's mother, I find it odd that a boy that young would be able to "date" Mike's mother without any major problems resulting from it (i.e. the Police, his parents).
If he had a really messed up mom who slept with her own children. But i don't think so now I think there was just a big age difference in mike's parents.

Everything about this movie is brilliant. Its full of such subtlety even how at 8:44 scott mimics the germans voice and says "gut."
Keano and River are probably some of the best actors I've ever seen on screen, and Rivers acting with his dad is simply out of this world.

He's the brother and the father in the same time because he slept with his own mother during his teenage.

river7089 4 years ago
look at the 'memory clip' of 'mom' passing out and falling down .( 4:46 )
You have to watch it closely a couple of times. It's short and quick.
You see Richard jump off his bicycle and rush over to help her. She has obviously just fallen down.
It looks like 'mom' is narcoleptic just like her son. So, 'mom' may be mind-controlled just like son Mike.
