I went to watch this film because it was homework. First of all, I read the title "Midnight Cowboy" and speculated that the content of the film is that the struggle of the bottom-level prostitutes will have a glorious ending at the end... Halfway through the film, I was still I can't understand what kind of main idea is to be expressed, reality and fantasy are interspersed... I still don't quite understand why the woman always appears in the male protagonist's dream, and why there is always someone trying to kill him in the end. Is it Alluding to Niulang this career is not good? And that party is so weird! The party appeared without any reason. Why? In fact, since the second male has been coughing and even coughed up blood (but he didn't tell the male lead), he has known that the second male has been in bad health and has been living in New York, but he still remembers the original self. What is his name and where did he come from? .I always wanted to go back to my hometown. In fact, the male protagonist is very good to the male second. When the male second fell, the male protagonist asked many times if he was okay? I also buy medicine for the second male. When I have money, I will think of buying things for the second male. I think this should be a kind of friendship in adversity. My friend's wish, the male protagonist also killed someone... What I felt the most was that the second male slept by the window. The driver ran over and looked at it and said to the passengers: "It's okay, it's just a small cold, let's do it again. We will arrive at the destination in a while (forgetting the place name is my fault...)" The passengers looked at it a few times and it didn't matter, they were still looking after themselves. Only Zhu Ba's eyes revealed sadness and hopelessness Cuo. In the context of the big city of New York, everyone has their own life, and the little people also have their own lives. Everyone is flesh and blood, and everyone deserves to be respected. Everyone has the right to choose their own career and their own life.

1. The first X-rated film to win an Oscar, the theme and form are overflowing with the rebellious blood of New Hollywood. 2. The brotherhood between a mentally "disabled" but smug cowboy prostitute and a physically disabled impoverished liar/thief is moving; the beautiful American dream on the surface also reveals the dark and cruel nature behind it. 3. The model of social historical analysis: confusion and passion in the late 1960s, sexual liberation, psychedelic parties, homosexual movement and homophobia. 4. Psychoanalysis template: The fragmented flashback using high-speed editing, skipping and black-and-white-color switching is also true and illusion, showing the childhood shadows and traumatic memories of cowboys being "castrated", insulted, and "gay" The scenes of daydreams, fantasy, associations, and nightmares related to this also follow the logic of psychoanalysis. 5. The soundtrack is excellent. The first half is always optimistic and passionate, and then gradually declines into tragedy. At the end, hopes again in sorrow, just like a miserable night in New York and a sunny day in Florida. 6. Make love twice: the remote control under your body&change the TV; the scrabble block. (9.0/10)

#filmarchive# The director has sketched all kinds of grotesque characters in American society. For example, when Joe was eating, a young woman in a trance with a child next to Joe took out a rubber mouse and fiddled with her and the child's faces. Creepy, this is clearly a drug addict. Especially at the hippie party in Greenwich Village, there are all kinds of eccentric people who are decadent and treacherous.
