Cowherd from New York

This is an American politically correct movie. When the hippie spirit swept in violently and swept away, the film commemorated a person's path from depravity to sublimation in the way that the countryside surrounded the city. The reason for the change of the male protagonist is the sobriety brought by taking care of the poorer, weaker and helpless people.
It is said that it is encircling the city with the countryside. People in small towns usually yearn for the big city, and in the yearning, they have to sell or give up the quality they originally upheld. However, when he goes out from a big city and faces people who yearn for a big city, he can confidently tell them "I'm from New York", even if you don't even know where the first car in New York passes. But if you open up and say it, others won't doubt it, because at that time they didn't have discrimination, only worship.
It is a common thing to seek high and middle. The goal is too low, and the result can only be lower and less. If you are satisfied, you will slack off. What is a legitimate pursuit? Instead of focusing on the amount of money and quality of life, you should seek an opportunity to have an equal dialogue with others. In order to achieve such a goal, we can only work hard, and at the same time, we cannot completely pin our hopes on external things, but we must pin our hopes on ourselves.

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.
