When you are in a low mood, you might as well watch an exciting comedy. When you watch it, you are very excited, and you can’t wait to break into it, laugh and wave your arms with the characters in the play. The story is not more than half of the story, and I can’t tell who I am. What’s more Upset. It used to be like this, and it made me more and more forgetful~~ But recently I found that watching tragedies is also a good way of relief. When using this method, the brain's thinking is still very clear. From the perspective of a bystander, he examines the fate of the characters in the play, sympathizes with the suffering he suffers, and naturally produces a sense of superiority, and at the same time, his depression is like the tide of the ocean. Retreat. A friend once said that I had suffered, but if it weren't for those sufferings, how would I be content today? Isn't the two different in the same way?

It was Dustin Hoffman’s "Midnight Cowboy" that made me suddenly acquainted with it. Some people classify it as a same-sex movie. I prefer it to describe friendship, two poor men with the same name. Friendship between. The story begins when Jon Voight bid farewell to his hometown and came to New York to pursue the French life of a cowherd. This country guy did look good, and he bought himself a set of stylish clothes-purple bird shirt, and The camel-colored short coat with tassels, even if it looks very trendy today, more than 40 years later. But that seemed to surpass the general standard of Cowherd at the time, and his words and deeds were too simple and correct, so that he did not catch noble ladies, and was unluckyly caught up with old prostitutes and homosexuals. He was always embarrassed and ruined. Finally, Dustin Hoffman gave him guidance. He paid 20 dollars for it. He thought that finding the "organization" was to find the key to development. Unexpectedly, the so-called leader of the organization was actually just gay pimps... Jon Voight, who was living on the street, lost the "great prospects of life", his eyes fell in front of him, but unexpectedly found the wrongdoer Dustin Hoffman, and vented his anger.

Things took a 180-degree turnaround. Although Dustin Hoffman didn't pay the 20 dollars yet, he invited Jon Voight, who was also a man in the world, to live with him. On a construction site with a foundation, a window with a seal was to be removed. In the dirty room, their friendship began, everything was so natural. Winter in New York came so fast, they didn’t find a job as a cowboy who could make ends meet. They could only make a living by petty theft, drinking hot coffee for a whole day, and swaying the rope to drive away the chill with the music on the radio until Jon. Voight’s only property radio sold for $5, and they had nothing. Hoffman coughed harder and harder in the increasingly bitter winter. He couldn't straighten his waist. When he talked with Jon, he had no time to breathe and was at a disadvantage. His life characteristics flickered and flickered like a burnt candle. Uncertain, the film reveals endless sadness. Joe went to the platform again at night, but it didn't work. He suddenly became sober and realized that he might not be this material. He made the first correct decision after coming to New York. He walked into the blood selling station and exchanged some food and money. (If this decision comes earlier, Hoffman might be able to survive this terrible winter.) It was also that winter night, Hoffman stole a coat for Joe, and they both missed each other in their hearts, but it was too late.

Deliberately planting flowers and flowers fails, unintentionally planting willows and willows become shade. This is often the case in the world. Joe began to plan to hire a proper job. God sent him a party invitation, and he was always favored by a lady. Completed his first time. Unfortunately, Hoffman couldn't support it anymore. On the stairs to the party, he was sweating weakly against the railing. Joe did not hesitate to wipe his sweat with his cherished purple shirt, as if it were an old towel; Hoffman Watching Joe roll down the stairs, holding the lady away, barely holding on. He didn't want to disturb Joe for the first time, and pretended to be okay. Joe turned his head and said, "Why is it okay to lean on the railing?" .

The first time I almost came back in vain, thinking about Hoffman, try to overcome it, use more intense behavior to overcome it. This is the only place in the film that shows the basic sentiment. It is still insinuated with the lingering innuendo of Joe and the lady. It's too subtle, isn't it, it was 1969.

Aspirin could not save Hoffman. Jon went to Miami to kill a gay guy in order to raise money. Miami was the last dream place in Hoffman's life. He died on the bus bound for Miami.






You can't tell when their friendship sprouted. Can't tell if they could be so interdependent without that cruel winter. It's even harder to tell if they are not all so humble and difficult destiny, whether there will be this story. In any case, this tragic story makes me continue to complain about life.
