River Phoenix pudo ser james Dean

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 2 (130 movies items)

"Pros: The soundtrack by Maurice Jarre Harrison Ford, in a very un Harrison Ford role. River Phoenix The cinematography South American rainforest, as its setting. Con: Ford’s character decidedly puts his family, in unnecessary danger, and this might be a turn off for some viewers."

" Charlie, the narrator, tells the story progressively from the time "Father" uproots this American family only to set them down in the virgin jungles of Honduras. The father is a genius of sorts as well as a Harvard dropout who believes America has become "Hell" in many ways with its capitalism and poison. The father is undoubtedly a very smart man and his innovations and inventions throughout the book are truly believable and amazing. "
