Chapter 10 Ideology - Gay Liberation

Sometimes the film may be a work about friendship on the surface, but the underlying text is gay eroticism. The two rough characters in this film often vent their homophobia, but they develop a strangely tender relationship, like a couple. There is no hint of a physical relationship in the film, maybe a little, but that's all.

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.
