Keanu Reeves is badass in My Own Private Idaho but River Pheonix’s acting was really genant. He had a sickness to portray and it is really difficult to act cause if you do too much, it’s as if you’re overacting and if less, then the audience won’t feel the “sickness”.
Pheonix’s portrayal of narcolepsy is subtle and nice.
Today we watched Running On Empty (1988).
I cried. Made a little research and saw he died at 23 years old. Ughh. Classic films are really great. He’s also a baddass piano player.
