The thing that made me suddenly realize is Dustin Hoffman's "Midnight Cowboy", some people classify it as a same-sex film, I would rather it is about friendship, two destitute men with the same name friendship between. The story begins with Jon Voight saying goodbye to his hometown and coming to New York to pursue the legal life of the Cowherd. This country guy is really good looking, and he even got himself a set of very stylish clothes——a purple bird shirt, and A camel fringed short coat still looks trendy today, more than 40 years later. However, it seemed to exceed the common level of the cowherd at that time, and his words and deeds were too simple and upright, so that he did not catch a lady, and he was unlucky to be photographed by old prostitutes and homosexuals, always embarrassing and losing money. Dustin Hoffman finally gave him some advice. He paid $20 for it. He thought that if he found an "organization", he had found the key to prosperity. Unexpectedly, the so-called leader of the organization was actually a gay pimp... Jon Voight, who was living on the street, lost his "big prospects in life", and his eyes fell in front of him, but he accidentally found Dustin Hoffman, the big guy, and vented his anger.
Things took a 180-degree turn. Although Dustin Hoffman didn't pay the 20 dollars, he invited Jon Voight, who was also a down-to-earth man, to live with him. On a construction site with a foundation, a window with a seal on it was waiting to be demolished. In the dirty little house, their friendship begins, and everything is so natural. Winter in New York came so fast, they didn't find a job as a cowboy to make ends meet, they could only make ends meet with petty thieves, drinking hot coffee for a day, swaying the ropes to the music on the radio to keep out the chill, until Jon Voight's only property, the radio, sold for $5, and they had nothing left. Hoffman coughed harder and harder in the colder winter, couldn't stand up straight, and was at a disadvantage when he was pouting with Jon, his vital features flickering like the light of a dying candle, elusive Uncertain, the film reveals endless sadness. Joe went to the platform again at night, but failed. He suddenly woke up and realized that he might not be the material. He made the first correct decision after coming to New York. He walked into the blood station and exchanged some food and money. (If the decision had been made earlier, Hoffman might have survived this terrible winter.) That same winter night, Hoffman stole a coat for Joe, and they missed each other, but it was too late.
Intentionally planting flowers will fail, inadvertently planting willows and willows will make shade. Things are often like this, Joe began to plan to recruit a legitimate job, God sent him a party invitation, he was favored by a lady from time to time. Completed my first time. It's a pity that Hoffman couldn't hold it anymore. On the stairs to the party, he leaned against the railing, sweating profusely. Joe did not hesitate to wipe his sweat with his cherished purple shirt, as if it was an old towel; Hoffman Watching Joe take the lady away and roll down the stairs, barely holding on, he didn't want to disturb Joe's first time, and pretended nothing was going on, Joe turned around and said, "Why are you leaning against the railing?" with all his concern. .
The first time I almost came back without success, thinking about Hoffman, try to overcome it, use more violent behavior to overcome it. This is the only place in the film that reveals the basic sentiment. It is still insinuated by the lingering of Joe and the lady, and it is too subtle, right, it was 1969.
Aspirin couldn't save Hoffman, Jon went to Miami to raise money to kill a gay guy. Miami was the last place Hoffman dreamed of in life. He finally died on the bus bound for Miami.
You can't tell when their friendship took off. It is impossible to say how they could have been so interdependent without that cruel winter day. Not to mention, if they hadn't all had such a lowly and miserable fate, this story would still exist. Anyway, this tragic story keeps me complaining about life.
