Even Siskel and Ebert saw the potential in him. That he was an awesome actor and he wasn’t bowing down to the media and Hollywood for fame or roles. ❤️😢
💖💖💖yeah he was much more than beyond his looks even though yeah he was and is should I say a looker .he had a maturity beyond his years so talented River Jude Phoenix august 23 1970 to infinity.i can't even put into words how wonderful he is
What did you make of the Barry Lawrence book? I remember thinking, yes, it is easy to be mythologized when you die young, but that is only part of the story. I think the only person of substance that wasn't really struck by him while he was alive was Paul Theroux, who said he seemed like " an empty vessel in search of approval".
@@alex14111 I liked the book, but somehow I was left sad for him after reading it, it seemed that very few in his life has a fully clear picture of him, there were just a whole bunch of contradictory observations from people. Must have been lonely for him. Maybe it was just my read. Did you get that sense? Or not at all?
@@kal2487 Definitely, I think loneliness was a major part of his life from the very beginning and it just accelerated with the Hollywood hype machine, conscientiousness won't do you any favors in those shark infested waters. Another takeaway for me was his generosity of spirit.. with all the craziness that was going on, sometimes I just feel like he was trying to save his father's "soul".. John, who was a deeply troubled man. As far as a "clear picture of him" a lot of the people round him had their own demons.. his own father, Flea etc. etc. I think it was the admirers from afar who may have had a better understanding of him.
@@alex14111 100% But I think he has a lot of friends now, from the other side, surfing the net, there are so many people with same stories about feeling connected to him, but afraid to say it outloud and seem crazy or egotistical. I had a lot of unusual paranormal happenings when I was first vibing with him, and they still happen occasionally when I'm thinking about him. I've never had something like that happen before. IDK. But I feel close to him. If I'm crazy so be it.
@@kal2487 Yes...right, I feel the same. It has been going on for while now. Director Willam Richert remarked years ago, " He has become a kind of mystical being in people's lives somebody who inspires them".
Oh but he was a face and an amazing soul. He could reach places inside himself and it was amazing. His brother has this, too, although it feels darker. RIP
Any cool river moment you don't mind sharing, anything little even. I used to live in Tampa Florida and I heard a story about his band play the Cuban club which I heard was the cool place for up and coming alternative bands to play.. I heard he asked a fan outside for a cigarette but he would ask for a cigarette as way to start conversations. He just seem so cool and relatable to introverts like myself. So drawn to people like that I guess... Lol
@@xviphoenix69 He would say You punctured my Bubble if you just went up to him as a fan while he was in deep conversation.He really would deny being River,he said that's not me man.
While gorgeous he died quite young, but still looked older than his age already in part because he was a heavy smoker. Joaquin is also a chain smoker, and though I'm a year older than him, he looks years older than me.
@@Nominay Maybe he would stop smoking, you never know. I agree about your remark. Smoking ages people tremendeously. But he was young at the time and probably tought he was indestroyable. 😢
@Gisselle ST in case you didn't already know, there's a shit ton of other reasons to be vegan than health reasons. I'd be fairly comfortable in saying that Joaquin is vegan for exactly those reasons.
I am going out on a limb here but in my opinion River was the template for future movie stars such as Leo and Brad Pitt to consider taking risks when it comes to the kinda roles that could potentially catapult your career upwards or downward. Just like Kurt Cobain changed the direction of music in the 90's, River paved the way for future actors to take themselves seriously as artist and ditch that whole teen beat persona completely.
River was the only actor in the 1980's born in the 1970's who could provide for his whole family. Of course he was an influence on his peers looking to make it.
@@Nominay There was so much more to him than being the sole provider born in the 70's. He was wise beyond his years and way beyond his peers as well. A philanthropist with deep insight and could, at the same time, steal your girlfriend. 😂
River Phoenix's posture is Crazy and I love how they shoot Ebert from behind River with River holding the same posture. The answers River was giving were probably screwy so Ebert's producers added a bunch of exposition. ❤. Phoenix's interviews became crazier and crazier as he neared his disastrous demise. It Devastates me to this day; it's pretty clear now who supplied River with the fatal amount of drugs as essayed in another video.
River Jude Phoenix (nacido Bottom; Madras, Oregón; 23 de agosto de 1970-West Hollywood, California; 31 de octubre de 1993) fue un actor y músico estadounidense, conocido por su papel de Chris Chambers en Cuenta conmigo (1986) y el del joven Indiana en Indiana Jones y la última cruzada (1989). Durante su carrera fue nominado al Premio Óscar y al Globo de Oro. Fue listado en el número 38 de la revista Screen World como uno de los doce «Nuevos prometedores actores de 1986», y fue aclamado por críticos como Roger Ebert y Gene Siskel.
No one in hollyweird could ever compare to river phoenix. RIP
I love that he was so “carefree”. He did what he felt was right and was always being himself to make a better place in the world ♥️♥️
He is "carefree"
Not careless
Cause he is sweet , kind ,spritual, gleeful.
❤❤❤❤🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺💐💐💐💐💐💐🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌿🌿🌿🌿🌱🌱🌱🌱🌈🌈🌈🌈
@@PreetiSharma-bf7kh ahh yes. You’re right. Sorry let me fix that
@@georgeous.harrison Thankyou dear 😊🤗🤗🌺🌈🌱🌿🌷💐❤
I agree with what “He said here” because it shows how “Fragile-Life” is and how little is the show of concern for a human being. #PeaceOut
Wow this interview made my day. River was such a beautiful soul inside and out. I miss him dearly
you’re missed, River..❤️
Even Siskel and Ebert saw the potential in him. That he was an awesome actor and he wasn’t bowing down to the media and Hollywood for fame or roles. ❤️😢
Ebert only slammed his acting in The Thing Called Love, after River's death.
💖💖💖yeah he was much more than beyond his looks even though yeah he was and is should I say a looker .he had a maturity beyond his years so talented River Jude Phoenix august 23 1970 to infinity.i can't even put into words how wonderful he is
I love that Roger Ebert picked up that River seemed nervous during the interview - it was all just posturing
Loved Ebert too. He was so perceptive, so smart.
Happy 51st bday to River 8/23 we love and miss you. 🌈
He is so pretty
I adore him. He's the real deal.

Thank you so much for uploading this. It’s always like finding treasure when I see new River content💙

What a great actor he was tragic loss he has been gone almost 30 years now
I met him,he shook my hand in 1990 in Gainesville, my brother was friends with him,picked shrooms together at Paynes Prairie.

Great Actor of his generation ❤️
Thanks for finding and sharing this! How wonderful to see River just being himself and basically not giving a sh*t! I love it!!
Beautiful boy actor and soul
He was so fit!! Gorgeous. Rip river
Junkie though. Sad
@@chrismale9976so they say
Thank u so much for sharing this treasure to us. love and miss him so much.💙
Primera vez q veo esta entrevista tan bello y emosiconal q era me encanta como quiciera q estuviera vivo y tuviera 50 años.
It's been 28 years today River ,hope you are resting in eternal peace...😔🙏💋😇💯😘🥰😍🤩🤗♥️🌝🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
What a gorgeous, young man he was. I often wonder how beautiful he would become with age. Such a waste...
While gorgeous he died quite young, but still looked older than his age already in part because he was a heavy smoker. Joaquin is also a chain smoker, and though I'm a year older than him, he looks years older than me.

My favorite actor.
The explores from 1985 with river is great
So he has an unseen river interview, and gives us 2 mins of it only, and talks over it. Nice
thank you so so much.

Where on earth do you find these! Thank you for sharing. :)
Those were your rebellious 90s grunge teens
Was that a young helen mirren in the mosquito coast?
Yes, it was her. She played River's Mother in that movie.
He’s not looking healthy here
Yup. On an off again heroin usage. This was the time period.
He looks normal here
👀.... jimmy Reardon oh god....
He wasn't nervous at all and he was comfortable with his hands behind his head regardless of your opinion.
You weren't there. Ebert was, and his career was based on observation.
The interviewers and hosts before the 21st century were complete unfiltered… I really am sensitive towards it I guess.

My life…😢
IMO, he still lives his life in the next. And he wasn’t promiscuous. (As far as I’ve read). All around guy.
Alguien q me lo traduzca porfa casi no entiendo todo
duas kkķkkk
River...story of a men who became a child...
He reminds me of Corey Feldman
Really?
