Past obsessions, and injuries.

Those who are not too smart and obsessed should be able to feel the same way... Those phantom pursuits, no one understands the meaning of them, and even oneself does not know why they have to pursue and prove it.

It is interesting to use Cowherd + pimps who are completely contrary to mainstream values. Why is he determined to be a cowherd, "confident" and "I'm good at it"? Why can't he just polish his shoes?

Is this an ideal or a dream bubble, or just "healing"?

...

God, I was wrong, I'm not a villain, even this "dream" is a bit dazzling, but it trapped me deeply and hurt myself.

Please allow me to take care of what I love, so that I can take care of myself. Compromise, give up, it doesn't matter anymore, just live your life down-to-earth.

"If it's too late..."

The director is really amazing. He stayed in the misery of the dead end for so long, but he kept the story from being emotional and created so many small joys to make the plot come alive. The whole film is full of sadness like a huge wave, but the process is neither boring nor procrastinating. (Let me cry a little longer)

Midnight Cowboy quotes

  • Joe Buck: I like the way I look. Makes me feel good, it does. And women like me, goddammit. Hell, the only one thing I ever been good for is lovin'. Women go crazy for me, that's a really true fact! Ratso, hell! Crazy Annie they had to send her away!

    Ratso Rizzo: Then, how come you ain't scored once the whole time you been in New York?

  • [At the gravesite of his father]

    Ratso Rizzo: He was even dumber than you. He couldn't even write his own name. "X," that's what it ought to say on that goddamn headstone, one big lousy "X". Just like our dump. Condemned by order of City Hall.
