first i would like to say how great this . it be astound and sometimes shock . and to say the least i be 11 year old and this be my favorite movie and i can definitely stand a boring film and but this be anything but boring . it be like a trip through humanity . it stark realism show through this monumental masterpiece . it be a heart wrench tale of two down and outers ( voight and hoffman ) who build a mutual friendship . joe buck ( voight ) a naive texan stud come to new york to make it rich by entertain woman . soon he meet rico ratso rizzo ( hoffman ) and who be a poor man barely be able to pay rent . ratso become joe amanager but soon both men can not find joe a job which result in steal food . a they try and survive on the street of new york we realize how tough it be . they can not get joe a girl until they meet a lady at a party . joe make some money and soon joe take ratso on a ratso dream spot and florida . the final five minute be heart break yet some of the great moment in the film . from midnight cowboy we get a stark and sometimes disturbing urban view on life .
