Pegadinha:

Because River Phoenix's agent refused to show him the film treatment for 'My Own Private Idaho', in late 1990 Keanu Reeves rode his motorcycle from Canada to Phoenix's hometown of Gainesville in Florida to hand deliver it himself.

Goofs:

Erros cometidos pelos personagens (possívelmente erros deliberados pelos cineastas): When Scott is spotted exiting his limo, Bob says, "If it isn't Scottie Favor... dressed in a three-piece suit..." In the next frame Scott walks towards the camera with his Italian wife wearing a double-breasted two-piece suit.

Citações:

Scott Favor: I only have sex with a guy for money.
Mike Waters: Yeah, I know.
Scott Favor: And two guys can't love each other.
Mike Waters: Yeah.
Mike Waters: Well, I don't know. I mean... I mean, for me, I could love someone even if I, you know, wasn't paid for it... I love you, and... you don't pay me.
Scott Favor: Mike...
Mike Waters: I really wanna kiss you, man... Well goodnight, man... I love you though... You know that... I do love you.

"Wherever, whatever, have a nice day, River Phoenix"

I watched this film on TV 5 years ago, when I was only eleven years old, and I remember that I was especially impressed by River Phoenix's magnificent performance. I had already watched "Stand By Me" (one of my favorites), and it was very interesting watching him older in such a daring film. I think he was the best actor of his generation but, unfortunately, he died too young.

"My Own Private Idaho" is a poetic and bittersweet road movie, one of Gus Van Sant's best (it's hard to believe that this film is directed by the same man who made the dreadful remake of "Psycho"). Here in Brazil it received a bad title, "Garotos de Programa" (something like "Rent Boys"). Yes, the main characters are rent boys, but this is not what defines them. "My Own Private Idaho" (what a beautiful title!) mostly deals with loneliness, virile sexuality and friendship, and paternity. It's much more than "a film about rent boys". Besides, watching it the so-called "modern boys" would realize that Keanu Reeves isn't Neo from "The Matrix", but a versatile actor; and, perhaps, they'd discover that boyish friendship may be truly sincere.
