Midnight Cowboy
Midnight Cowboy, a story about the loneliness and obstacles, was difficult to comprehend. Although I did enjoy some aspects of the movie, my overall opinion was one of distaste. A few of the themes were awkward and confusing, and the movie moved at the speed of a one-legged hurdler. Midnight Cowboy is about not only the hardships one has to overcome, but a friendship along the way. Joe, a young, naïve, uneducated boy, makes a major move from the only home he has ever known, Texas, to the Big Apple. In Texas, he is a lonely dishwasher with no future ahead of him. Rather then go to work one day, he dresses, bathes, and puts on flashy cowboy attire. While looking in the mirror he states, “You know what you can do with them dishes. And if you ain’t mad enough to do it yourself, I’d be happy to oblige. I really would.” He leaves his room at the Big Spring Motel with just a suitcase carrying his belongings. Before he leaves for his fantasyland, he stops at Miller’s Restaurant, his work, to quit his dead-end job. There he has a conversation with Ralph, a co-worker. He tries to explain himself by declaring “Lotta rich women back there, Ralph, begging for it, paying for it, too…and the men- they’re mostly tutti-fruttis.
