In a world where so many straight men are homophobic, watching Keanu Reeves' character stroke River Phoenix's character's hair tenderly makes me happy inside in a way I can't explain. I imagine how it would be if all men could see past sexual orientation and just love people for who they are, not who they're attracted to.

River wrote his speech in this scene. Amazing, beautiful, immensely talented actor.

awww river so sad this scene. miss him, was such a good actor :,(

[Emma Fossum]

Mike kissed his neck I think..When they hugged. I don't know, I might be wrong, but I hope I'm not.

[brioesque]

what do you mean when you say it's human nature to be homophobic?

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

River, suchva natural actor...so simple. Ohhh how I adore him

[Wolfsangell]

Its just human nature to be homophobic if you are straight. Keanu leaves River at the end of the movie, i suppose he was keeping in touch with his Feminine side when he decided to follow the money.

You don't have to look far to see it. Just look at Brad Pitt and Amy Winehouse.

If he hadn't killed himself with drugs, he'd be one of the best today.

He'd also be a basket case constantly hounded by the soul sucking vultures at TMZ, so maybe things worked out for the best.

[Janaka Manobah]

Haha pretty much. Both written by Gus. This was more indie though.

I love hearing River's voice<3 He's such a beautiful person :')
