Upon its release, \u201cMidnight Cowboy\u201d made history by becoming the first X-rated film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Set in a gritty urban landscape, it honestly addressed subjects such as sexuality, addiction, and homelessness. The film has since been reclassified and is now rated R.<\/p>

Directed by John Schlesinger, the film was adapted from James Leo Herlihy\u2019s novel and explores themes of friendship, loneliness and survival on the seedy streets of New York City.\u00a0 Jon Voight was a fairly new actor when cast to play the character of Joe Buck, the handsome, yet na\u00efve hustler fresh from Texas with big dreams.\u00a0 It proved to be a break-out performance, as he depicts his character\u2019s optimism devolving into hopelessness and desperation.\u00a0 Dustin Hoffman does an equally fine job portraying the sickly con-artist Ratso Rizzo, as the two men form an unlikely friendship and co-dependency that ultimately leads to a bittersweet climax.\u00a0<\/p>

However, one part of this film that I didn\u2019t quite grasp was the flashbacks to Joe\u2019s past in Texas, specifically the apparent gang-rape of his girlfriend and his subsequent arrest for the crime.\u00a0 For me, this seems to come out from nowhere and needed more explanation.\u00a0 Was this plot point truly necessary to the narrative and did it do anything to fuel Joe\u2019s motivation? Wouldn\u2019t it have been much more effective to simply follow the flashbacks of the grandmother, who eventually died while he was in the military, thus leaving Joe all alone in the world?<\/p>

That aside, “Midnight Cowboy” has its moments and offers a compelling glimpse into the dark side of city life.\u00a0 With its extensive use of popular music, including \u201cEverybody\u2019s Talkin\u2019\u201d, it\u2019s definitely worth a watch.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
