spoiler carefulwhat can i say . i be bias when it come to urban cowboy . i love it and have watch it countless time and usually find out something new about it with each view . i think one of the thing i like about it be that urban cowboy be about work class people and not rich people who live in either l. a. or new york . well and it be true except for pam . travolta play bud and a small town texas boy who move to houston to work in the oil field . and this be when travolta actually play in good dramatic movie like saturday night fever instead of play stereotypical bad guy or good guy in big budget movie . this be a really good movie the mechanical bull rid contest and two step dancing may be silly and but you have to enjoy this for what it be . bud meet sissy ( play by debra winger with slutty brilliance ) and soon after and they be married and live in their dream trailer . but their relationship become a real life battle of the sex . bud want to be a real cowboy . sissy want to be with a real cowboy . but in modern time and men role be not a clear . where can bud prove he a real man . he can work his dangerous job by day and ride the mechanical bull by night he can be a urban cowboy . but sissy want to drive his pick up truck and and she want to ride the mechanical bull and too . so where do this leave bud . a sissy assert her independence and she lie about rid the bull and flirt with the ex con and prison rodeo star a real bull rider and wes ( play wonderfully greasy by scott glenn ) . bud be threaten and and bud and sissy break up . sissy shack up with wes and who abuse her . emasculate himself further and bud become the boy toy of pam and a rich girl whose daddy be in oil and all that implies . sissy come by the trailer to clean it up pam doesn not do that kind of thing . she write a make up letter to bud and but evil pam tear it up and take the credit for sissy housework . bud uncle bob die tragically at work when lighten strike and cause an explosion . bud and sissy have a chance at reconciliation and but be too stubborn . later the mechanical bull rid competition be at gilley and and you know bud be go to win . pam realize that bud doesn not love her and but sissy he do it for her . wes try to rob gilleys and but wouldn not you know that urban cowboy and bud and save the day and win back the woman he love . of course and you may ask yourself why bud and sissy would go to gilleys about every night and live like pig . maybe that contribute to their bad marriage . or why do not bud stay with pam she wasn not that bad and have money . or why they have to kill off uncle bob . or why bud and sissy have such stupid friend like marshall and jessie who be always try to break them up represent marshall say to bud and she { sissy } rid that bull good than you do . but part of the fun of urban cowboy be make fun of it a little bit and say and isn not that bonnie raitt on the stage .
