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.

    This is actually a poignant friendship story. The protagonist who came to New York went from high-spirited to homeless, and also saw the dream from beginning to shattering. Dustin Hoffman's performance was great, and the last scene was heart-wrenching.

    2019 Shanghai Film Festival NO.05. The most touching thing about this film is that whether you are a man or a man or something else, after weakening the gender antagonism, the trust and emotion that people build in the daily life of relying on each other are extremely moving. . Most gay movies that strengthen gender identity fail to do so (most gay movies are fighting for equal rights, because they especially strengthen straight-bent opposition).
