the end of River Phoenix

Peter Bogdanovich has had an up-and-down career. "The Last Picture Show" is considered his masterpiece, while his career has suffered in many other parts. One of his lesser known movies is this 1993 outing. "The Thing Called Love" is mainly know as River Phoenix's final movie, as he died two months after the release. As for the plot, it's about people's dreams. These young people move to Nashville hoping to make it big in the country music business. There of course will be complications.

The cast members really know how to capture the characters' complexity. All the characters get enough screen time to let their personalities develop sufficiently. The movie has some surprises in store, namely the scenes involving famous people playing themselves. But most importantly, it reminds us that country music is supposed to be about hardship and heartbreak (as opposed to who has the biggest truck). If you have a message for the world, you should sing it.

In the end, I recommend the movie. Phoenix, as well as Samantha Mathis, Dermot Mulroney and Sandra Bullock put on fine performances.
