this was quite a good film, not so much the acting, the
acting could have been more real and not so wanky, the story
was good, the music was good (that country hum song), the
actors who were in it;river pheonix/keeanu reeves etc...
i really enjoyed the locations;northwest usa is such a
beautiful place for cities;portland/seattle
the overall look of this film was great, but it sucks i
rented the shittest quality version, it was not scanned
right, it looked like it had been telecined from vhs!
seriously i cant beleive i watch such a good film on this
horrible quality dvd made from like 1997, i wish i had know
about the criterion dvd FUCK!!! i'm gonna go down to my
video store and blast them;fucking arseholes they are,
allowing a shit quakity dvd like this being sold!!!

overall what are you're thoughts?

Yeah, good movie. Gus Van Sant is one of my favorite
directors. Although, the Shakespeare stuff is a bit awkward,
the movie still works and I think the acting was meant to be
the way it was--not to mention that you're dealing with
Keanu after all. But you should try to catch Gus' other
movies, especially:

Elephant

Gerry

Last Days

They're quite different and unique.

Oh yeah, the Criterion version is the only way to go.

pheonixes role in this movie seems to resonate with the real
river, too bad he died, why waste your life to some fucking
drugs damn, how many amazing films have we been robbed of!!!

river pheonix was such a talent. So much better and more
engaging than keanu. I too thought it was so foretelling the
way river would have siezures in the film.

I hate all that moody James Dean bullshit.
My fave actor is Peter Falk.
