“I’m not a f’real cowboy, but I’m one helluva stud!” The year is 1969 and movies have changed more in the past decade than 1929-1939. Midnight Cowboy tells the story of two misfits trying to make their way in an unforgiving world. Joe Buck ventures to New York City with the “dream” of making it as a male hustler, but finds himself completely clueless in a world that has long since passed by the ideals of his youth. His best/only companion is a sickly con-man named Rizzo who’s skilled at stealing just enough to keep them alive. A hugely unconventional film, Midnight Cowboy pulls no punches with it’s content as it embraces the gritty “New Hollywood” tone. Does it still deserve a look, or should you keep “walking here!”? Find out…now.
