watch midnight cowboy be like take a masterclass in act or direct or cinematography or edit or write . i be too young to watch it when it be originally release and and only saw it for the first time a couple of year ago and but it have absolutely stand the test of time and and i have watch it several time since . everything about this film be brilliant and from the poignant performance from voight and hoffman ( even though i know this movie well and i still find myself well up every time voight flash one of his innocently pain look and or hoffman cough in his sickly and ominous way ) to the stunning cinematography and superbly edit dream sequence . it a shame that more of our contemporary filmmaker aren not prepared to take a risk on make movie that be a visually and aurally interesting a this one . midnight cowboy should be require view at all film school . positive .
