I discovered this poem about River 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
I wrote this poem in 2001 I met Riv in 89 at a charity gig he played he simply the most caring young man i ever met. He seen the sadness in me and made me feel special inviting to the next show, asking me my name. He was angelic. I could see a light shine through him on all colours 🌈 Here is the poem - I just saw River. He was the sunset and stars the sky. I just felt River..the breeze through my hair and the teardrop on my cheek.. I just heard River. His voice echoing in my head conveying that the earth and animals are so precious. I wish he were physically here, but he is near a beautiful waterfall flying like Peter Pan. 🦋
@@ns4725 I mean he kinda did live the life of one....for like 15 mins. Don't ask stupid questions. Don't get stupid answers. And I'm sorry for saying it so bluntly but it is what it is. We are here. He's not. Learn from his mistake and move on. Don't do fuckin drugs. Simple. Simple, people. Lol....come on. All these actors are acting like " I've done 2000000 speedballs and i have never had anything bad happen to me, but why river tho?" Cause that shit doesn't have (will kill you...maybe) on it. Freaking crocodile tears if you ask me.
I'll never forget River. Vegan and born August 23 also. Glad Joaquin and Rooney named their son after River. He'll grow up vegan like his uncle and parents and grandparents. 🌱♥️🌱
coucana He told the paramedic, who went on record, gave a statement to the LAPD, said that Joaquin told him the reason River was having seizures, was because he was having a diabetic fit, River never had diabetes in his life. The guy was pleading with Joaquin to tell him the truth, if his brother had taken anything, and although Joaquin couldn’t have known what was in that cup, he absolutely should have told the medics that River collapsed shortly after drinking something. This would have given them a huge indication what was wrong. Because of that lie about diabetes, Narcan couldn’t be given- that drug can reverse the effect of opioid overdose.
Its interesting to see Leonardo saying River Phoenix. I honestly believe that if River had not died it would be him and not Leo as the greatest actor of his generation. I say this even loving Leo but River was simply transcendent. Leo has had some stinkers Rivers never did. People always point to My Own Private Idaho as the epitome of his greatness but for me it is Mosquito Coast. RIP River I never actually knew you but the real you came through in all your roles.
Ed Gonzalez I'm a huge fan of River but he definitely had some stinkers. A Night In The Life Of Jimmy Reardon is wretched. It's just so beneath someone of his talent. And unfortunately The Thing Called Love is a pretty bad film. I had high hopes for it prior to its release but it's just a very weak movie. I think River only did that film b/c he got to play a musician/songwriter in it. And then there's Silent Tongue - just a crap western way beneath River's talent.
he probably wouldn’t be better known as an actor because he actually wanted to be a musician. he even said in a late interview he wanted to shoot one more film and then he would work on his music. so he would be known for his contributions not only to cinema but also music and activism
@holly golight To give an example, he delivered a much better acting performance in Training Day than Denzel, but Denzel wins an Oscar and gets all the praise.
@@MAGAISKLAN Denzel was overacting a lot, he was more of a caricature than a realistic portrayal of a crooked cop. You might have liked his performance more, but the acting was actually not that great.
Sean Nunan Exactly, it is his show and business after all. Besides, I do believe Larry was just being an understanding old man, he knows life’s aches and pangs, and was trying to help the man find his words and articulate his feeling.
One thing I didn't realize about when we lost River (I'm a year older than Joaquin) is that I would miss him so many years later, looking back like this. Hell, I just miss how society was back then. World is fucking nuts now.
@@bepinkfloyd814 I think he meant without the constant flood of news and social media driving people insane about all that's wrong in the world. I mean, yeah, world is still the same shithole, it's just that we didn't have the level of coverage and awareness of all the problems at once like now, which is a blessing to mobilize people to fight for just causes, but also a curse for our mental health
its broke me hear this voices talk about River... you can notice the high level of respect that this people had for him and you can hear the sadness when they talk
@@pyt7778 bruh he didn't know. Like wtf, should he tell the doctors the whole list of drugs he took or smth like he's no expert. He was a teenager. He didn't know wtf he took.
River and Keanu must be the kindest souls to have ever graced the silver screen. Would have been amazing to see them work together again later in life.
I'm so full of joy Riv is being celebrated by his family more publicly. He himself said he never wants to be forgotten. And for me, it feels like he is STILL HERE! 🌻
I can see so much of Joaquin in River in the first clip. River would be so proud of his little brother. Wil Wheaton saying that River’s death wasn’t shocking but he hoped it wasn’t true is so heartbreaking.
@@pyt7778 You can shut up now. Stop acting like your the one who lost a beloved family member to some tragic event. People have convulsions when they overdose. That's what he said. “Ok, I’m calm, but he’s having convulsions, please come in. You have to come, I think he took Valium or something else. that he is dying. ” I've heard the audio. He was panicking and likely in tears, not thinking clearly. He didn't know what was in his system. He was a kid whose brother was dying in front of him and he was breaking down. If that drug was as harmless as you say and wouldn't hurt someone not overdosing why not give it to him anyway? That's on the adult paramedics not a scared kid. I'm sure he's replayed that night many times in his mind over the years. And imagine you can't turn on the tv without hearing about it for a long time afterwards. You can't mourn in peace because the media are vultures. Just stop already. What you are doing is just as despicable as the paparazzi.
Oh my god that's amazing congratulations!!! I live in Israel and English names are not popular here (like I care) but if and when I'll move to Boston and have kids I'll name the first boy that comes out River as well. I have a River, oh, River tattoo for him so, it's a perfect piece of the puzzle.
He was incredibly talented, and also, just completely beautiful. I don't usually use the word "beautiful" when describing men (I usually use "handsome"), but River was beautiful.
imagine if river was still alive I'll bet we can always see him with keanu hanging out in the streets, pulling pranks everywhere and riding a subway to work as well as spreading goodness around the world dang
I don't think disbelief is the right word. Not wanting something to be true is not the same as not believing that it is. I felt like he was trying to say that it was a fear because he felt 100% like it was very likely quite true. Idk what the word is I'm looking for either.
I disagree. That word aligns perfectly with "shocked", which he said he was not. Heartbroken and utterly disapointed are probably closer. Afraid of the reality of it all is probably in alignment as well.
so interesting how he was so young but already was considered by others in the industry to be one of the greats... i read a different snippet from ethan hawke where he really talked about how river impacted his life as an actor bc he felt like he was always striving to be as good as river
@@RePete690 it’s honestly disrespectful af, weird af, creepy af, and delusional af that you’re commenting on this trying to pretend that you’re River Phoenix…. This is not “flattering” to the memory of River Phoenix, his family, his friends, or people who actually knew and loved/cared about him…. It’s also not in the slightest “comforting” to his fans, it’s genuinely SO fucking disturbing…. Please, seek help.
He was a great actor though and did some great work before he died . I was a fan and can say that he was genuine and I wanted to always meet him . He was a kind soul and remember reading his articles in magazines like “ teen beat” back in the day and thinking how genuine and kind he seemed when there was so many actors that sounded fake and entitled . River was supposed to play Christian Slaters role in “ Interview with a vampire” but since he had passed away CS got the role instead . Some ppl can see he was bound for great things and there’s some ppl who speculate bc of how young he was when he died , but for the ppl who saw him preform and admired his work and kind gestures they know he was a legend whose flame died too young 🙏🙏🙏 rip to river and his family and I think it’s beautiful that Joaquin and his wife named their son , River 💜 beautiful tribute to his brother and the legacy he left behind … I think Joaquin takes his brothers talents anytime he’s doing a movie
I was so broken hearted when I heard about River, and it still makes me sad to this day. He was so special, an immensely talented and special actor. 💗💗💗
I read it in the newspapers. I cried in the supermarket while reading it. I thought my youth is over now. And it was true. I was 20 and sure that my whole generation will not get old.
It just feels so weird how I can miss someone so much when I wasn’t even alive when he died but i’m just so heartbroken that he died and I miss him so much ♥️
River would've won it if he was still alive. I truly believe, River's essence rubbed off on Keanu. That's why they were such great friends because both were/are such genuine, kind souls.
I was 12 maybe 13 when he died. This kid who grew up in Foster care who just identified on some level with him. I remember hearing on the radio of his passing and being utterly distraught. Had this big memorial wall dedicated to him in my room, it's weird that someone I'd never met left such an impression on my life. I'm quite sure I'm not the only one.
I’m an older brother. My younger brother and I have always been super close. I think we both realize we’re lucky for that too. He’s a traveling (nationally touring) musician, whereas I just grew up playing the drums. Never any competition. Just real genuine support. I think that’s what being an older brother is all about. It’s cool to think about how proud River would be of his brother. I feel bad for Joaquin that he’s never really been able to see his brother light up at his success. I hope there’s a place where they can meet up in the end. Long lost brothers. Old friends.
I know for logical reasons nowdays everybody thinks of Joaquin when River is brought up and viceversa but i always think more of Rain.She was the closest to him, they shared a band and their love for music and she witnessed a lot of things River experiencied cause they were very close in age.And she was also there when River died... of course its pretty obvious that Joaquin suffered a great deal but i think people has no idea how painful it must have been for Rain.
Agreed 💔 Her latest album is dedicated to River and is literally about him, so I think she found a way to express at least some part of her grief through music ❤🙏🏻
@@joana9039 well to be fair i think she had wanted to honor River for a long time and held back cause of Joaquin. She even said she asked for his permission to do this (which i dont think is fair at all). I think in a way Joaquin has a weird place in the family. You can tell in that 60 minutes interview, he was interrupting his mom and Rain only talked when he mentioned her album. Family own literally everything to River. Im not saying they should share awful details about his life they dont even embrace his work publicly and i think is in a huge part due to Joaquin.
@@Jts-fg7jr Well, I don't know them personally, but I wouldn't say that Joaquin was the main person to make this process longer. I honestly didn't even think that he was interrupting them in that interview too 🤔 I think I remeber how Summer, Rain and Joaquin all spoke during the Launchleft podcast (you must have seen that) how Rain sat all the family members down and asked for their permission to release such an album (unless I forgot something). So, I believe that all of the Phoenix family members even though are experiencing grief differently, still have an equal right to express their opinions in a democratic way 😊
Oh? So they are both singers? And Joaquin Phoenix is not? I mean river and rain looks like a twin but I don't know he was a main character in the JOKER, where can I know about Rain Phoenix more??!?!???????
I was a production assistant in MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO. Keanu and River are both amazing actors and very nice human beings. River 's death in 1993 and just a few years later another actor from MOPI Rodney Michael Harvery also died of an overdose in 1998. Such a shame to loose two amazing talents, so young. RIP to them both.
River Phoenix and Brandon Lee...two amazing actors who were taken far far too soon. Both are highly respected in the acting business. I'll always miss them, but their movies and family carry their names and memories.
@Lisa Surlie It's called accountability. Your life won't change for the better until you start taking some. You should seek help to deal with these feelings of yours. I was sad when Heath Ledger died, but it didn't drive me to drugs or anything.
It's so heartbreaking but incredible how unbelievably grateful people are to have even known him. To quote Romeo and Juliet, "can heaven be so envious?"
It's just heartbreaking to see just how different Joaquin was before that day. He's so calm and communicative and allot of it is thanks to his brother. You could see how whole he was when they were together and to see the emptiness and sadness in his eyes from that moment on hit me really hard now. It's terrifying, and fascinating, to see what trauma does to people because it never repeats itself. Thank you for sharing, I wasn't prepared to see him and it was a very powerful surprise. You gave me something to think about.
Its amazing to see how many people River truly had an impact on.I myself have loved him and his work from the first time i laid eyes on him! He was such a beautiful soul inside and out.No matter how many years pass i still feel the pain of his death as if it happened yesterday. R.I.P. River,you will be forever loved! ❤❤
Johnny depp saying that they wouldn’t let phoenix rest or the family is so meaningful. This is a 23 year old that should have a resting place for those who loved him. I wasn’t alive when River died but the coverage seems horrific. At least what’s stuck around and I just couldn’t imagine and never want to know what the family or friends felt. That is a nightmare

Flea has the most emotional words for him. He was really a friend. ❤️
River Phoenix was a wonderful actor. He could also do comedy so well. There is a movie that he is in I think it's called I love you so much I could kill you with Kevin Kline, Tracy Ullman, William Hurt and Keanu Reeves. River Phoenix had me and stitches he has this one line he says I "have to collect myself" Also, "Stand by Me"was a wonderful movie he's so good in it. I miss him very much, Debra Bader ❣️
I don't usually follow celebrities' personal lives. Too often, they turn out to be disappointing enough in character that it can kind of ruin my appreciation of their talents. River was one of those people whose movies I generally liked, but whom I valued as a compassionate & tender human being even more. If he'd never made another movie, I'd still have cared...imagining him as a bright light flickering in the distance & being content that he existed. He was 2 years younger than me & I remember the disbelief when I heard the news. It still doesn't seem real sometimes. The "if only..." is haunting.
If only John Frusciante hadn’t given him a lethal drink... if only River had stayed and rested at the hotel & not chased after his siblings as they were leaving, saying he’d changed his mind, if only Joaquin hadn’t lied to the paramedic and said the reason River was having a seizure was because he was diabetic 😞, this cost precious time in them giving a possible lifesaving drug, Narcan, River was never a diabetic
Anthony Hutchins Please show me where I said River was any less of a person? I have nothing but respect for that young man & how much he had to cope with. Fact is, John Frusciante gave River a deadly mix of drugs, in a cup, with enough drugs to kill a damn elephant-that River knocked back, not realizing what it was.After he became unwell he yelled at Frusciante “What the fuck did you give me?” Fact also that Joaquin lied to the paramedic about what was wrong with his brother, that lie meant that Narcan couldn’t be given, Narcan reverses opioid overdoses. River could have been saved if help was gotten immediately, it was close to 25 minutes before 911 was called. Frusciante & Joaquin both have River’s blood on their hands whether you like it or not.
@FTW well that's your opinion. But many people directors and actor like Leo & brat Pitt called river the great actor of his generation. And you're nobody so your opinion didn't count.
They're still inseparable. Watch Joker, the master and walk the line and you'll see River reflecting in Joaquin in every other shot. I have to warn you, without spoiling anything, if you know Joaquin's history with his brother and you know their relationship, some scenes in walk the line are almost too painful to get through. I had to watch some of them four times because I cried too much twice, and then it was just impossible for me to seperate Joaquin from his character, it's pretty brutal. A beautiful, beautiful performance and a great film, though.
it's so amazing to see how everybody who met river always (until this day) talk about him with so much love and admiration. everytime i see one of his friends talking about him, it's just the most extraordinary definition of a person. he seemed to be one of those few people in the world who are just to good. river phoenix will forever be remembered ❤💔
A highlight of when I lived in LA was when I got to attend that Academy anniversary Q+A and screening of one of my favorite ever films. Forever River flowing x
I always wondered about Joaquin the way he is as a person he never really seems full of life in interviews like something was missing l, just takes everything day by day and I didn’t realise until now, knowing his older brother died was his hero and probs a person who was extremely popular so Joaquin went from hearing of his brother constantly and people wanting to know him to losing his hero, amazing actor I’m sure his bro would been proud
There are some people that you will never meet but they touch you so deeply that you mom their loss. I still mourn River's passing. Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Heath Ledger, Robin Williams, Tom Petty, and one of my favorite authors, Sir Terry Pratchett. I still get so sad at their loss, and everything the world lost when they died. I never met them, I would have never met them had they lived but they somehow imprinted on me. I wish they hadn't been in so much pain. I wish I could have eased their suffering, they way they often eased mine, taking my brain out of my chronically ill, pain filled existence and giving me a better place to exist, even just for a little while, is a hell of a gift that is too great for a mere "Thank you," to suffice. It's as if they lead a coordinated campaign that kept me from going mad, and it's a debt I will never be able to repay.
River was my first crush and the only actor I collected teen beat pics of. No one can ever beat him. I was devastated when I saw the news and prayed it wasn’t real.
1986, I was 10 years old and saw Stand By Me. Fell in love with River at first sight. I dreamt about him last night; we were kids going on Summer camp and he was my buddy. Forever missed❤❤❤
I miss River Phoenix he was a great actor and if he were still here he would have won two or three Oscars and about five Golden Globes for his work by the age of thirty. River would have been a director and screenplay writer. He would have been so proud of Joaquin. River was a rare soul.
At the begining of this video, young river.. i can see the sharp eyes, the way he spoke - joaquim n him had very similar facial feature, expression even their body language. The way these actors spoke of river, he seemed to be very unique & talented person. I just imagine if Joaquim is THIS GOOD, River probably even beyond good... they have the same genetics...
I remember when I was a kid my dad loved this movie called stand by me and at such a young age I didnt know what a great movie I was getting ready to see but ever since that day it became one of my favorites and since that day ive just been drawn to river pheonix I mean I'm 36 today and I'm still drawn to him its a shame he lost his life so young he was amazing in so many ways and so so beautiful ❤
Its sad🥺🥺🥺🥺🌿🙏🌿😘🥰💟🐶 How come Keanu didn't come out . You guys did some great acting together!!! Never did I hear that before, that he was very kind,sweet,driven in his career... He was very special...you carry that in your heart. You were alot alike.💟🌸🌸💟😘
“And I think of what you might’ve been, A man of such great promise, Yet you seemed to forget the dream, The more you saw, you hated. Oh, but let’s not talk of blame, For one, It’s only natural. Like a moth going to a flame, You had such a dangerous passion.” -Paul Weller, “A Man of Great Promise”
Joana it’s my pleasure. I only just subscribed to your channel, I love your content beyond words, and this is my first comment on one of your videos. My partner was actually the person to tell me about River, and I immediately thought of that song as it’s one of my favourites, as it reminds me of one of my one friends who passed away from drug abuse. It’s an honour to be noticed by your good self, stay strong, as you’ve got us all here for you when you need a hug. 🤗
@@scotia7326 What a heartwarming, sensitive and precious comment! 🥰 I'm so sorry for your friend 💔 But I really hope that both - your friend and River - are in a better place right now 🌼 Thank you once again for your support and lovely words ❤ Sending you virtual hugs!!!!🧚♀️🧚♂️🧚♀️
Are you joking? Rivers mother called his death ‘a gift’. She allowed him to have sex at 15 with an 18 yo girl, she even set up the tent for them to do it, she’s disgusting, that’s statutory rape she allowed to happen😡
@@pyt7778 THANK YOU for your comment. I was thinking how dare his mother act like she cares. She and her cult is most likely what caused his inner turmoil.

I discovered this poem about River 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

okay awesome, ill order eagle boys
C R U D E Please do, way better than Dominoes
When Wil, Keanu, Joaquin and Kiefer talked about him I cried
🙏💔
Why
Joaquin probably feels huge guilt for lying to the paramedic, his stupid lie cost precious time😡
@@pyt7778 my god, he was a teenager! River was not your brother, get over it!
@@pyt7778 bruh he didn't know. Like wtf, should he tell the doctors the whole list of drugs he took or smth like he's no expert. He was a teenager. He didn't know wtf he took.
River and Keanu must be the kindest souls to have ever graced the silver screen. Would have been amazing to see them work together again later in life.

River was an empath 💙
❤
No doubt in that ! Highly sensitive empath !
That’s not a thing
I was thinking that too
I believe he was a super empath
I'm so full of joy Riv is being celebrated by his family more publicly. He himself said he never wants to be forgotten. And for me, it feels like he is STILL HERE! 🌻

Such a beautiful soul 💔

@humblewarrior 💜
I still remember the night he died like it was yesterday . He had such a remarkable talent and kindness about him that this world will miss
I can see so much of Joaquin in River in the first clip. River would be so proud of his little brother.
Wil Wheaton saying that River’s death wasn’t shocking but he hoped it wasn’t true is so heartbreaking.
Maybe, although Joaquin blatantly lied to the paramedic, that lie cost precious time in giving River a possible lifesaving drug, Narcan
@@pyt7778 You can shut up now. Stop acting like your the one who lost a beloved family member to some tragic event. People have convulsions when they overdose. That's what he said. “Ok, I’m calm, but he’s having convulsions, please come in. You have to come, I think he took Valium or something else. that he is dying. ” I've heard the audio. He was panicking and likely in tears, not thinking clearly. He didn't know what was in his system. He was a kid whose brother was dying in front of him and he was breaking down. If that drug was as harmless as you say and wouldn't hurt someone not overdosing why not give it to him anyway? That's on the adult paramedics not a scared kid. I'm sure he's replayed that night many times in his mind over the years. And imagine you can't turn on the tv without hearing about it for a long time afterwards. You can't mourn in peace because the media are vultures. Just stop already. What you are doing is just as despicable as the paparazzi.
Joaquin is River's older brother
@@SGK1206, no. River was born in 70, Joaquin was born in 74.
That is Jaoquin in the first clip. He has a cleft pallete scar on the upper lip.
My son is named River Phoenix ❤ born 9th March 2020
Beautiful ❤ Best wishes to your lovely Baby! 🌷😊
So WONDERFUL 💙
River Phoenix Pretorious Rex
Liar
Oh my god that's amazing congratulations!!! I live in Israel and English names are not popular here (like I care) but if and when I'll move to Boston and have kids I'll name the first boy that comes out River as well. I have a River, oh, River tattoo for him so, it's a perfect piece of the puzzle.
Joaquin and his partner Rooney Mara, named their son River Phoenix. How sweet is that? He lives on through his brother's family x
That is such a brilliant and touching tribute indeed 🙏🏻❤
And his sisters named their children Rio (river in Spanish) and Indiana (indiana Jones) ❤️
@@ilahgrace6732 I think Summer’s will Sons middle names are Jude and August after River
He was incredibly talented, and also, just completely beautiful. I don't usually use the word "beautiful" when describing men (I usually use "handsome"), but River was beautiful.
Wonderful comment ❤
@Lisa Surlie ah Lisa the notorious Lisa. Get help please

Stand by me, was an amazingggggggggg film!
Yes I agree!! I totally Love Stand by Me!!! It is totally Amazing and one of the best films ever made!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Wow Jonny depp is really good guy and had a good point media didn't respect mourner families,and I cried when Keanu talked about him
imagine if river was still alive I'll bet we can always see him with keanu hanging out in the streets, pulling pranks everywhere and riding a subway to work as well as spreading goodness around the world dang
I love this comment ❤
River and Rain♥️ Those are cool names for siblings.
Yes, truly wonderful 🌸
Joaquin went by Leaf Phoenix for a while
They also have sisters named Summer and Liberty
It's rainbow, which is even cooler, I think.

River was special 😍
He really was! ❤😊
@@joana9039 great video
@@Iceis_Phoenix Thank you!!! 🌞❤😊
It hurts hearing Keanu talk about River. They were the ultimate best friends. :/
"disbelief" is the word Wil Wheaton was looking for .
I don't think disbelief is the right word. Not wanting something to be true is not the same as not believing that it is. I felt like he was trying to say that it was a fear because he felt 100% like it was very likely quite true. Idk what the word is I'm looking for either.
I disagree. That word aligns perfectly with "shocked", which he said he was not. Heartbroken and utterly disapointed are probably closer. Afraid of the reality of it all is probably in alignment as well.
WHil WHeaton
Denial.
I would say anger…
so interesting how he was so young but already was considered by others in the industry to be one of the greats... i read a different snippet from ethan hawke where he really talked about how river impacted his life as an actor bc he felt like he was always striving to be as good as river
That's truly amazing ❤
That's what I do.
@@RePete690 it’s honestly disrespectful af, weird af, creepy af, and delusional af that you’re commenting on this trying to pretend that you’re River Phoenix…. This is not “flattering” to the memory of River Phoenix, his family, his friends, or people who actually knew and loved/cared about him…. It’s also not in the slightest “comforting” to his fans, it’s genuinely SO fucking disturbing…. Please, seek help.
He was a great actor though and did some great work before he died . I was a fan and can say that he was genuine and I wanted to always meet him . He was a kind soul and remember reading his articles in magazines like “ teen beat” back in the day and thinking how genuine and kind he seemed when there was so many actors that sounded fake and entitled . River was supposed to play Christian Slaters role in “ Interview with a vampire” but since he had passed away CS got the role instead . Some ppl can see he was bound for great things and there’s some ppl who speculate bc of how young he was when he died , but for the ppl who saw him preform and admired his work and kind gestures they know he was a legend whose flame died too young 🙏🙏🙏 rip to river and his family and I think it’s beautiful that Joaquin and his wife named their son , River 💜 beautiful tribute to his brother and the legacy he left behind … I think Joaquin takes his brothers talents anytime he’s doing a movie
I was so broken hearted when I heard about River, and it still makes me sad to this day. He was so special, an immensely talented and special actor. 💗💗💗
💔😢💞
Joana to this day 💔💔❤️
@@mariasher8793 It's so sad 🙁
I read it in the newspapers. I cried in the supermarket while reading it. I thought my youth is over now. And it was true. I was 20 and sure that my whole generation will not get old.

Johnny's always been such a nice guy , you know i'm like 17 and i feel i wanna cry for someone I've never met before , poor River..

❤
I love Keanu's so emotional 😢! And Joaquin talking with his sisters.
💝
Keanu's emotional? Lol
@@brucewayne2184 He seems to be so in this interview, at least for me ❤
Watch the movie My Own Private Idaho if you haven't already. Be open minded. It's a beautiful movie.
@@joana9039 I agree.
River was friends with so many cool people
True ❤
Shame it never helped him to change his life choices. It sucks so bad that those people are here and River left us so early x
Keanu Should just Win 🏆 the Best Human Being Award, What a guy 💯✌🏻
River would've won it if he was still alive. I truly believe, River's essence rubbed off on Keanu. That's why they were such great friends because both were/are such genuine, kind souls.
I was 12 maybe 13 when he died. This kid who grew up in Foster care who just identified on some level with him. I remember hearing on the radio of his passing and being utterly distraught. Had this big memorial wall dedicated to him in my room, it's weird that someone I'd never met left such an impression on my life. I'm quite sure I'm not the only one.
Thank you for sharing your touching story 🙏🏻❤ And yes, River touched so many people - his light might have been short-lived, yet so strong 🌟
I know 😭 hes like family to me
@lisasurliewildadventureswhy are you being insensitive
You were not the only one 😢
I’m an older brother. My younger brother and I have always been super close. I think we both realize we’re lucky for that too. He’s a traveling (nationally touring) musician, whereas I just grew up playing the drums. Never any competition. Just real genuine support. I think that’s what being an older brother is all about. It’s cool to think about how proud River would be of his brother. I feel bad for Joaquin that he’s never really been able to see his brother light up at his success. I hope there’s a place where they can meet up in the end. Long lost brothers. Old friends.
Touching comment ❤
I know for logical reasons nowdays everybody thinks of Joaquin when River is brought up and viceversa but i always think more of Rain.She was the closest to him, they shared a band and their love for music and she witnessed a lot of things River experiencied cause they were very close in age.And she was also there when River died... of course its pretty obvious that Joaquin suffered a great deal but i think people has no idea how painful it must have been for Rain.
Agreed 💔 Her latest album is dedicated to River and is literally about him, so I think she found a way to express at least some part of her grief through music ❤🙏🏻
@@joana9039 well to be fair i think she had wanted to honor River for a long time and held back cause of Joaquin. She even said she asked for his permission to do this (which i dont think is fair at all). I think in a way Joaquin has a weird place in the family. You can tell in that 60 minutes interview, he was interrupting his mom and Rain only talked when he mentioned her album. Family own literally everything to River. Im not saying they should share awful details about his life they dont even embrace his work publicly and i think is in a huge part due to Joaquin.
@@Jts-fg7jr Well, I don't know them personally, but I wouldn't say that Joaquin was the main person to make this process longer. I honestly didn't even think that he was interrupting them in that interview too 🤔 I think I remeber how Summer, Rain and Joaquin all spoke during the Launchleft podcast (you must have seen that) how Rain sat all the family members down and asked for their permission to release such an album (unless I forgot something). So, I believe that all of the Phoenix family members even though are experiencing grief differently, still have an equal right to express their opinions in a democratic way 😊
Oh? So they are both singers? And Joaquin Phoenix is not? I mean river and rain looks like a twin but I don't know he was a main character in the JOKER, where can I know about Rain Phoenix more??!?!???????
I was a production assistant in MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO. Keanu and River are both amazing actors and very nice human beings. River 's death in 1993 and just a few years later another actor from MOPI Rodney Michael Harvery also died of an overdose in 1998. Such a shame to loose two amazing talents, so young. RIP to them both.
River Phoenix and Brandon Lee...two amazing actors who were taken far far too soon. Both are highly respected in the acting business. I'll always miss them, but their movies and family carry their names and memories.
River Phoenix was a beautiful person, even now, he is missed by many. RIP...💋💕
💔🙏🏻
@Lisa Surlie It's called accountability. Your life won't change for the better until you start taking some. You should seek help to deal with these feelings of yours. I was sad when Heath Ledger died, but it didn't drive me to drugs or anything.
It's so heartbreaking but incredible how unbelievably grateful people are to have even known him. To quote Romeo and Juliet, "can heaven be so envious?"
I'm crying right now. I just miss him so much.
💔
I miss him too. I had dream about him a few nights ago.
You're saying that as if you knew him in person🙄
It's just heartbreaking to see just how different Joaquin was before that day. He's so calm and communicative and allot of it is thanks to his brother. You could see how whole he was when they were together and to see the emptiness and sadness in his eyes from that moment on hit me really hard now. It's terrifying, and fascinating, to see what trauma does to people because it never repeats itself. Thank you for sharing, I wasn't prepared to see him and it was a very powerful surprise. You gave me something to think about.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts ❤ And you're right, it's all so sad 💔
He probably feels enormous guilt too, lying to the paramedic, costing precious time that meant a possible lifesaving drug, Narcan, was delayed
Run to the rescue with love
And peace will follow
🙏🏻❤
A movie with River Phoenix and James Dean, I can only imagine.
That would be awesome ❤
River was channeling Dean in his masterpiece "Running On Empty"
Dang its kind of scary how right River phoenix was about joaquin's success. It's like he knew without even knowing all what would happen.
True 😕
Its amazing to see how many people River truly had an impact on.I myself have loved him and his work from the first time i laid eyes on him! He was such a beautiful soul inside and out.No matter how many years pass i still feel the pain of his death as if it happened yesterday. R.I.P. River,you will be forever loved! ❤❤
❤️
I wish he was still here🥺💔
😢
Wish Larry would have let Will Wheaton speak without interrupting
Agreed!
Man if he was alive then joaquin and keaanu's life would a little bit better
They both had been through a lot i know he would help them
❤
Would have been*
Sean Astin was great in the Goonies
& Lord of the Rings
He's a wonderful human being in general.
& Rudy!
That’s about the only thing
His anecdote was slightly worrying..
Joaquin talks the same way over 30 years later
River Phoenix what beautiful name... And what a beautiful human that once lived ❤️❤️
❤
Johnny depp saying that they wouldn’t let phoenix rest or the family is so meaningful. This is a 23 year old that should have a resting place for those who loved him. I wasn’t alive when River died but the coverage seems horrific. At least what’s stuck around and I just couldn’t imagine and never want to know what the family or friends felt. That is a nightmare
Flea has the most emotional words for him. He was really a friend. ❤️
I don't think so.
River Phoenix was a wonderful actor. He could also do comedy so well. There is a movie that he is in I think it's called I love you so much I could kill you with Kevin Kline, Tracy Ullman, William Hurt and Keanu Reeves. River Phoenix had me and stitches he has this one line he says I "have to collect myself"
Also, "Stand by Me"was a wonderful movie he's so good in it. I miss him very much, Debra Bader ❣️
❤❤❤
the movie title is "I love you to death"
So he was more than an actor he was actually living the parts !! Sounds he was very Empathic....... I get it !! R.I.P River
River is missed so much. He made a huge impact in the short time he was here.
❤
I don't usually follow celebrities' personal lives. Too often, they turn out to be disappointing enough in character that it can kind of ruin my appreciation of their talents. River was one of those people whose movies I generally liked, but whom I valued as a compassionate & tender human being even more. If he'd never made another movie, I'd still have cared...imagining him as a bright light flickering in the distance & being content that he existed. He was 2 years younger than me & I remember the disbelief when I heard the news. It still doesn't seem real sometimes. The "if only..." is haunting.
If only John Frusciante hadn’t given him a lethal drink... if only River had stayed and rested at the hotel & not chased after his siblings as they were leaving, saying he’d changed his mind, if only Joaquin hadn’t lied to the paramedic and said the reason River was having a seizure was because he was diabetic 😞, this cost precious time in them giving a possible lifesaving drug, Narcan, River was never a diabetic
You're wrong dude... Two heroin addicts don't drug eachother... Just because he was using doesn't mean he was any less of a person.
Anthony Hutchins Please show me where I said River was any less of a person? I have nothing but respect for that young man & how much he had to cope with.
Fact is, John Frusciante gave River a deadly mix of drugs, in a cup, with enough drugs to kill a damn elephant-that River knocked back, not realizing what it was.After he became unwell he yelled at Frusciante “What the fuck did you give me?”
Fact also that Joaquin lied to the paramedic about what was wrong with his brother, that lie meant that Narcan couldn’t be given, Narcan reverses opioid overdoses.
River could have been saved if help was gotten immediately, it was close to 25 minutes before 911 was called.
Frusciante & Joaquin both have River’s blood on their hands whether you like it or not.
@@pyt7778 It was an accident.
norm2014 no
The first time my heart broke was when River died. Still missing him.
Had River not left us so soon, he would be the King of all actors.
❤
@Rob P what are you like 14?
and the most handsome by far!
@FTW well that's your opinion. But many people directors and actor like Leo & brat Pitt called river the great actor of his generation. And you're nobody so your opinion didn't count.
I honestly think that if River was still alive, they would be inseperable, and been so happy for him
They're still inseparable. Watch Joker, the master and walk the line and you'll see River reflecting in Joaquin in every other shot. I have to warn you, without spoiling anything, if you know Joaquin's history with his brother and you know their relationship, some scenes in walk the line are almost too painful to get through. I had to watch some of them four times because I cried too much twice, and then it was just impossible for me to seperate Joaquin from his character, it's pretty brutal. A beautiful, beautiful performance and a great film, though.
@@weasley2o13 thank you. I have seen all those films, and yes, I do see what you are talking about
I mean realistically he would have suffered from drug addiction his entire life. He had a budding hardcore drug addiction.
Great work man.
Can you also make these kind of videos on Heath Ledger.
Thank you! And thanks for the suggestion about Heath 😊 I'll have it mind!
@@joana9039 thank you

it's so amazing to see how everybody who met river always (until this day) talk about him with so much love and admiration. everytime i see one of his friends talking about him, it's just the most extraordinary definition of a person. he seemed to be one of those few people in the world who are just to good. river phoenix will forever be remembered ❤💔

I’m still crying :(
💔
@DeeKat You're very welcome, thank you for watcing! ❤❤❤
I always wondered about Joaquin the way he is as a person he never really seems full of life in interviews like something was missing l, just takes everything day by day and I didn’t realise until now, knowing his older brother died was his hero and probs a person who was extremely popular so Joaquin went from hearing of his brother constantly and people wanting to know him to losing his hero, amazing actor I’m sure his bro would been proud
❤️🩹
River was one of the rarest people he had so much potential died to young...
💔
Such a beautiful and sad video. He was such a loved soul for all the right reasons. He is so greatly missed.
Thank you for watching and sharing your feelings 🙏💔
Keanu was never the same
There are some people that you will never meet but they touch you so deeply that you mom their loss. I still mourn River's passing. Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Heath Ledger, Robin Williams, Tom Petty, and one of my favorite authors, Sir Terry Pratchett. I still get so sad at their loss, and everything the world lost when they died. I never met them, I would have never met them had they lived but they somehow imprinted on me. I wish they hadn't been in so much pain. I wish I could have eased their suffering, they way they often eased mine, taking my brain out of my chronically ill, pain filled existence and giving me a better place to exist, even just for a little while, is a hell of a gift that is too great for a mere "Thank you," to suffice. It's as if they lead a coordinated campaign that kept me from going mad, and it's a debt I will never be able to repay.
Beautiful and touching comment 🙏🏻 Stay strong! ❤
River was my first crush and the only actor I collected teen beat pics of. No one can ever beat him. I was devastated when I saw the news and prayed it wasn’t real.
With love and respect to a beautiful soul! Rip River Phoenix

1986, I was 10 years old and saw Stand By Me. Fell in love with River at first sight. I dreamt about him last night; we were kids going on Summer camp and he was my buddy. Forever missed❤❤❤
I miss River Phoenix he was a great actor and if he were still here he would have won two or three Oscars and about five Golden Globes for his work by the age of thirty. River would have been a director and screenplay writer. He would have been so proud of Joaquin. River was a rare soul.
Beautifully written ❤
Just remember, I live on forever baby!
At the begining of this video, young river.. i can see the sharp eyes, the way he spoke - joaquim n him had very similar facial feature, expression even their body language. The way these actors spoke of river, he seemed to be very unique & talented person. I just imagine if Joaquim is THIS GOOD, River probably even beyond good... they have the same genetics...
Forever young. River Phoenix lived a lot in his short life.
❤
Joaquin got that Oscar for his brother. They were Soo soulful together. I cannot imagine the pain his siblings had to live with since losing him💔💔
😔💔
I'm crying when joaquin, wil, and keanu talk about him😭
🥺❤
River was such a sweetheart
I remember when I was a kid my dad loved this movie called stand by me and at such a young age I didnt know what a great movie I was getting ready to see but ever since that day it became one of my favorites and since that day ive just been drawn to river pheonix I mean I'm 36 today and I'm still drawn to him its a shame he lost his life so young he was amazing in so many ways and so so beautiful ❤

How come Keanu didn't come out . You guys did some great acting together!!!
Never did I hear that before, that he was very kind,sweet,driven in his career...
He was very special...you carry that in your heart. You were alot alike.💟🌸🌸💟😘
there is a lot of movies Johnny Depp would lost to River Phoenix if he was still alive
Leonardo DiCaprip and Brad Pitt too
I think he has more heart and raw talent than all of them
“And I think of what you might’ve been,

For a family who seem as close & connected as the Phoenix family, it must've left a huge, painful void to loose the ethereal River. Very sad.
🙁💔
Are you joking? Rivers mother called his death ‘a gift’.
She allowed him to have sex at 15 with an 18 yo girl, she even set up the tent for them to do it, she’s disgusting, that’s statutory rape she allowed to happen😡
9:56 Plain to see.
@@pyt7778 THANK YOU for your comment. I was thinking how dare his mother act like she cares. She and her cult is most likely what caused his inner turmoil.
I didn't know Fallon was such a river Phoenix fan girl lmao I love it
Glad that you both had that closeness that will always be with you your blessed Joaquin
Dang I was in tears hearing Joaquin's speech and the other clips of him talking about his brother.
I know, right? It's very touching ❤
What’s a little weird.
Keanu plays
Ted-Funny
Neo-Talented
John Wick-Serious
And all those traits describe River.
😯
I love what Wil Wheaton said about him, that he felt _everything_, and it's what made him such a wonderful actor.
That was a truly beautiful thought ❤
