Run to the rescue with love / and peace will follow – River Phoenix

What a speech, the best of humanity. It felt like it was the Joker giving the speech on that stage; the awkwardness, the sadness, and the final part where he turned to walk away while the last syllable was still in the air. What an amazing actor. Reminded me of a scene in Hotel Rwanda where Joaquin played a videographer, Jack. When the Europeans were being evacuated, it was raining, and a bell boy held up an umbrella for Jack. He pushed it away and said, please no, we don’t deserve it.
