instead, he's a James dean

@Lord Of The World agree 101% ! Don't understand why they keep saying James Dean when River was a lot better than Dean

@everyofyou... River was a great actor but dean had an another level of charisma, talent, style so we can't compare them because they had a generation gap

@Lisa Surlie Wow. No one had any idea. Go back to your rotting corpse and enjoy seconds.

@mike jardin. Don't you dare to compare this with the greatest Marlon Brando. MARLON was unique, he was more than an actor

C. G. frr

the hormons here LOL

I thought the same !

@sergeant highway lol i am in love w him

@sergeant highway i'll be simp for river FOREVER bye

period.....but why am I exactly falling for dead actors....😢

αphrσdítє they may not be alive anymore but the least we can do is remember them haha

@@phrdit7229 aww how sad.

@@phrdit7229 I am sadly a fan of many celebrities who's been gone for many many years including River. It makes me really sad and River's life and death makes me the saddest. I know how it feels :(

Lisa Surlie AWWW BABY DONT DO DRUGS PLEASE ITS NOT GOOD FOR YOU

@Alex Bever watching these movies puts you ahead of the game. Movies and t.v. these days are for uneducated buffoons

Platinum Diamond i felt that

This hit me hard.

Same same

hahahahahahaha

Hahahaar

I know right !! Maybe one day his nephew that his named after him, will grow up looking and acting like him hopefully. Cause it’s obvious good looks run in the Phoenix family, or maybe his nephew will try to carry on his legacy like his dad, Joaquin !! ❤️🥺🙏🏾

❤️💔❤️

💝💖💔😢

53 soon on 8/23 😮😢

Leo would still be big. No matter how much people were talking about his looks, his huge acting talent overshadowed everything just like River Phoenix.

@@alisa9113 exactly. Talent first. That what lasts.

river was actually supposed to have leo’s roles in titanic and the basketball diaries!

When I first saw Leo in movies, he always struck me as a discount River Phoenix. Where River had an authentic and magnetic quality, Leo seemed more like the mallrat version. He was a good actor, but you couldn’t help but compare how much he seemed to be “imitating” Phoenix (even if it was pure projection on my part. It took years for me to finally see that Leo was a great actor in his own right. But I’m pretty sure had River lived, he would have continued to get the critical accolades and chose more interesting and complex roles and perhaps Leo would get the B projects. I remember girls were obsessed with River, but he (and Johnny Depp) seemed so uncomfortable as teen idols. Leo felt more like a Jason Priestly type and I’m sure she still would have been successful. Can’t believe River was only 23 when he died.

@@ssa.audrey3402 yup, and he was also supposed to be in “Interview with the vampire” imagine Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and River Phoenix all in their prime in the same movie 😫💕

This and Dogfight!

Riverrxphoenix _ i love you more!!

I wonder something. İs he was very famous at that time or he was just an actor that some people know. I am sorry for my bad english i hope you can undrestand what i want to ask.

@@Ozlem91734 he was way famous!!!

@@Ozlem91734 I'm late but he was quite famous. Had paparazzi mob him a lot and that was one of the reasons he moved from Hollywood

something dicaprio i love you too

louise cmn i had a link to the movie!

Ofc he was supposed to be in the basketball diaries and titanic

DiCaprio wouldn’t even have a career if it wasn’t for River’s death, almost all his roles in the 90’s would have been played by River.

@@RosieHip24 all the river fans are so salty of leo leo was a better actor in almost everything he did, dont forget leo did gilbert grape when river was alive did river get that role? LOL

@@spongebob468 false, jim caroll said himself he wanted Leo and dont forget gilbert grape came out when river was still alive did he get that role?

@@avsn1194 idk but they wanted river in “this boys life” something Leo was in and titanic

Esta pelicula es hecha como la pelicula de the coast mosquito ..es costa de miskitos ..yan miskito razika kumsna significa ( yo soy raza de miskito )..vivo en costa de mosquitia

How long should i go for if im going for the same style?

@@roland3199 the time period or the length?

haha im a girl and i am growing my buzzcut ... sorta hope i can get his hair haha

Is that a flex I smell?

River himself wanted a sequel to the movie :(

@@sicidamara7061 really he wanted a sequel?? damn I'm sadd, wish he had live longer to make the sequel

Really? I just watched it and I see it as obvious that he stays with her since he doesn’t have to keep running with his family anymore and can live his own life now.

@@goku8621 maybe they just wanted the visual confirmation for closure.

beethoven:piano sonata no.8 in c minor opus 1..

@@chloue3456 I since found my answer. Filming was in August and September of 1987.

Jeffrey Wendel running on empty- 1988

Sharonm Treacy flea didn’t kill him, flea didn’t even know what was happening

Daxton Knight holy shit

Gene Moretti he got murdered

Gene Moretti u sound like no one knows what addiction is, check his report. he was clean as fuck if u didn’t notice. he knew how to take care of himself, well no shit hes a human being. theres so much evidence to this shit and yet people say its his fault bc he took dRuGs that night. people that night kept changing their story, for what fucking reason? john frusciante gave him a drink, with hardcore ass drugs. who tf gives a cup to someone and tells them to drink. river trusted so many people.

Gene Moretti im not gonna get personally, why tf would i tell u ab my shit. theres limits to this.

people jus thought he was good human being, being actor really has nothing do wit him. he was jus a peaceful man tryna live his life battle his own demons.

He was already, ready at this point to get out. Not only that, his acting chops were there and beginning, as most young actors have. He was good for the time and would have exploded greatly with age, had he lived or inspired to be... wasn't what he wanted though, music was his passion. He grew up uniquely and feeling forced into the business

Rahatul Anas he was murder, a friend of his handed river a drink, and river didn’t know what was inside that drink.

Rahatul Anas river was sober that time too

@@chloue3456 omg! Really?😓🤔r u confirm!? Where it has been said!??

Rahatul Anas it was said in his biography book called last night at the viper room and william richet made video somewhere on the web, go check it out for yourself!

this friend is actually john frusciante

Gregg Hanson i didn’t ask

@@chloue3456 I didn't ask you to ask.

Gregg Hanson i didnt ask u to comment in the first place, keep shit to yourself next time when its needed.

riverph0enx 😭😭😭LMAO as you should, :) thanks for the clips

@@chloue3456 damnnn yeah u tell em!

dawg this wasnt made for u then 💀

Don't judge from a scene pack made for edits lol. There's more drama in this than it looks. It often cuts him off right before an important line in a lot of them. You should really check him out in My Own Private Idaho or Dogfight or Mosquito Coast. He REALLY shines there But like... what do you expect from a guy who's literally known for making his characters like real people. He doesn't do overdramatic overacting and that's the beauty in his simplicity.

Wtf.

hyped up!??? HYPED UP???? River was a household name in the 80s and now in this generation, very less people knows his name. He is not mainstream and only few people know who River Phoenix is. ALSO, His acting was one of a kind. His roles were diverse, his expressions, he BECAME the very character he was playing. Pretty darn comment coming from a no faced stranger, sitting behind a screen and typing this. You are probably bored and got nothing else to do with your life.

Obvious troll. Don’t pay it anymore time.

this comment proves that u didnt watch his movie LMAO gtfo
