Review of Midnight Cowboy (1969) by Rodney E — 18 Aug 2008
One of my favorites. Could be one of the best acted movies..Jon Voight finds loneliness and heartbreak as his dreams to be a giggolo are crushed by the harshness of New York City. The true master of the movie is Dustin Hoffman as Ratso, the disheveled and sickly con man bum that is someone insightful and charming to me.
The music from the main theme to the lonely John Barry theme is gold. I have the soundtrack on vinyl and love it. Just about every scene is classic. The party scene is one of my favorite scenes. "Want the word on that brother and sister act.
Hansel's a fag and Gretel's got the hots for herself. So who cares right? Load up on the salami." great characters, editing, cinematography. It shows true friendship between improbable characters and how they really need each other.
So much to say about all these great movies.
