It was cheap in America back then.

midnight cowboy is a classic movie. Yes, classic enough. Hoffman played the down-and-out Rizzo very vividly; on the contrary, Voight, who played cowboy, was a bit inferior.

The film is interspersed with a large number of streams of consciousness, and if you want to psychoanalysis, it is a model with sufficient resources. However, the most impressive thing is that the price was so cheap at that time.

Qiao Maichun only charges 20D at a time. But how much can this 20D buy? Florida clothes 10C can buy 200 pieces, 20D can buy 200 pieces. After they attended the hippie party, they once successfully made a single sale for spring and got 20D. Joe bought at least 3 kinds of medicines, a lot of food, and had 8D left. The price quoted in the video is 6c for chewing gum. In exchange for the current purchasing power of RMB, 10 yuan for a piece of clothing is considered cheap, and 200 pieces is 2,000 yuan. However, it is estimated that the Cowherd is very expensive to sell the spring harvest for 2,000 yuan. Chewing gum 6C is generally 1.5 yuan in China now; 20D can buy 333 Wrigley GUMs, and the total purchasing power of 20D is about 500 yuan.

    There are cowboys in the Florida dream of New York gangsters, and the Texas cowboys take off their denim shirts and put on Hawaiian short sleeves for the gangsters. Anyway, I felt Rizzo possessed when I set up a school stall to sell old books last week.
