My Own Private Idaho

Year: 1991

Why'd I Watch It?: Assigned for my Shakespeare class.

What's It About?: A rich bad boy and his bff who's a rent boy in a sort of coming of age story.

What'd I Think?: Pretty good adaptation of Henry the IV & V. The Shakespearean dialogue mixed in makes it more interesting than some other adaptations. Falstaff and Henry V are the only characters that make close to a full transition from play to film. Keanu wasn't too bad.
