this be a forgotten classic of a film and and harmony karin borrow a ton from it for gummo . gummo be good and river edge be way and way well . it no secret that keanu reef isn not the best actor whoever walk the earth . no and in fact and he a horrendous actor . but and he be bear for some role represent ted preston and esquire from bill and ted and and his role in this film . he be perfect a a sort of good natured but very apathetic and confused teenager . then there crispin glover . i think his performance in this film be the best of his career . he be phenomenal a the drug out wackjob character . then there dennis hopper and who be perfect as well . this movie be simply amazing and and if you haven not see it and run out and watch it today . it brilliant . one of the best portrayal of modern america i have see .
