My Own Private Idaho - Somebody That I Used To Know

A HD remake of @Miamore1606's video that has since been removed.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
"a tribute to Mike Waters (River Phoenix) and Scott Favor (Keanu Reeves)

[BRONZALiVE]

Man I wish River was still alive he would've grown up to be a huge movie star like Decaprio and Reeves did, Rip

[vrg_ks]

This is another meaning but the fact that they were really good friends in real life and the "Now you're just somebody that I used to know" line is really sad because River died

[cole]

they're so beautiful it's painful to watch this

[らんゆ-fn]

I can't forget the words Keanu said when the river died, "I do n’t have any friends in the business. Just River. Oh where, oh where has my Juliet gone?"😢😢

[isabella-vwyc]

this song actually fits so well with this movie to the point that it’s sad

[laurataylor]

Who saw Joaquin's speech Sunday night he couldn't even say River then he had tears in his eyes broke my heart. River was definitely with him he would be so proud of his little brother

[laurataylor]

Joaquin named his son love this song I love this video I've loved River Phoenix since 1986

[vahgeuvje]

How River didn’t win an Oscar for this performance is beyond me...

[carlludwig]

this movie is a kinda sad but because of River's death when I watched it gave me a feeling that I can't explain, it's something between deep sadness and nostalgia, Give me something in the chest that I can't explain, it's like a pain in the heart.

[plasmichoneytrip]

The fact that River died of addiction and this movie was about that would have hurt Keanu more everytime he would’ve revisit this movie.

River Phoenix was my first crush. I saw My Own Private Idaho in the cinema back in October 1991 (it had an 18 certificate but I managed to get in despite being underage!). Nearly 30 years later, it is still my favourite film of all time.

When the trend
"I AIN'T NEVER SEEN TWO PRETTY BEST FRIENDS " started knew it had to be a tribute to this duo😭❤️

[holly]

Im actually crying oh no. I can’t believe somebody that perfect ever existed.

I discovered this poem about River Phoenix in a hauntingly beautiful poetry book,
“12:12 Midnight” by Danielle Ever Rose

“Forever River"
A peaceful river flows from the start,
Twenty three days and twenty three nights apart.
The clear water calm turning into rushing rapids,
Tearing you up before you get out.

But like a phoenix from the ashes,
He will rise,
A beautiful spirit,
Haunting striking eyes.

A room full of vipers,
A venom so strong,
Taken away in the hollow morning songs.

This river treasure like a shooting star,
Lights up the night sky,
And just for a moment,
Shines brighter than all the other stars.

Seemingly gone forever,
But never forgotten.

R.I.P  River Phoenix

River is the most beautiful man who ever lived.

[jaro]

I wasn't even born when River was still alive. I'm sad that he's gone. He could have made more films and won a lot of awards. Wish he's resting at peace now :'(

The last scene is everything. Scott is more tragic than Mike. He never knew love.

I moved to Portland right around the time this film was released. I had graduated college and got a job at a big athletic company. This Okie loved Drugstore Cowboy and My Own Private Idaho, so my first few weekends were spent tracking down locations from those movies. I didn’t know anyone, so I got to know the city this way. The creepy porn shops to the hippie hipster coffee shops. I met a few of the cast(the rent boy runaways) and they told me stories of the making of Idaho. Seems so long ago in a city I no longer recognize. The grime and edge it once had is now filth and anger. The violence and vitriol has made Portland a place I want to forget.

River Phoenix, Keanu Reeves, Johnny Deep will always have a place in my heart. True talent and humility on all three!

Keanu is such a beauty, so is his best friend River.
