WOW!! Thank you soooooo much for posting this! River is breathtaking in this scene!It's like he has this power over you! Not only do you feel like you are actually there right in front of him in that scene but you actually feel every emotion that he is feeling! There's something about him, there's like a bright light shining around him and you can't take your eyes off him! He's so unique and special! I love him! And he will ALWAYS be remembered!

[tunafan1]

i wish i was martha plimpton

[IHaveOvaries]

he was great in this movie.

but i just really never thought she was good in this movie. they could've found someone better IMO. her acting just bugs me.

but i loved this movie.

RIP river phoenix

[juggaletteShannon18]

I wish he were still alive i would just die if he was saying all those beautiful things to me! RIP River!♥

[taliakai]

this is such an amazing part. thanks so much!

[trinaanna]

i love you too River

[Hebal]

That Is The Greatest Scene Ever! that's what i call acting

[PilotTheRocket]

what about the "i love you, and you don't pay me." from 'Idaho? can't we call them all the greatest scenes??

[suziestew]

absoultely...

we can...

[trinaanna]

words fail to capture the beauty in River's performance here. It's the subtleties, the longing in his eyes as he confesses his secret life to Lorna, so vulnerable, so endearing

[Odymull]

I think they were each others love of their lives. Martha P. still acts and has a myspace page. I wonder if she ever watches this. Such a great movie and a wonderful scene. They were lovely together.

[mika219]

thats my favourite part

[Odymull]

Thanks for posting this. One of my favorite parts of the film. RIP River.

[bobjrtheant]

omg i have never seen this movie but i really want to

[aleuberio]

This has got to be one of the most amazing moments caught on camera... Thanks, Riv ♥
