@I am Jean Pierre, the Evil Puppet! how in the world is he supposed to be okay? When ratso Rizzo died and the ambulance came to see what was wrong, Joe Buck went with the ambulance to the hospital to declare ratso Rizzo dead. That night, Joe Buck went to a cheap motel to spend the night. In the morning Social Services buried ratso rizzo in the Miami cemetery and of course Joe Buck was there to say goodbye. From there Lord knows what happened to Joe Buck. Think about this for a moment. He's got no job, no skills, no trade or profession of any kind. He has absolutely no friends or contacts worth a damn, and he is homeless. I'll say it again, how in the world is Joe Buck supposed to be okay in Miami Florida?

I saw this movie for the first time several years ago. This was the first time I saw someone accurately portray death in a movie. When Ratso starts crying and listing everything that's wrong with him, you can tell that he knows deep down that he's going to die from it. Maybe he doesn't know how soon, but he knows it will happen, and it both scares and saddens him. He "cheers up" quickly for Joe, because that's what people who are dying do for those around them. Subtly done, but very powerful.

A moving scene. Films in the late sixties and early seventies seemed to leave the happy ending format behind and become gritty and realistic. With Easy Rider, Butch Cassidy..., Midnight Cowboy and other mainstream movies, the heroes and antiheroes died. The industry reflected the loss of innocence in society. It was the first time an X rated film received Best Picture Oscar. Hoffman and Voight were perfectly cast and the poignant music resonates today.
@336nudist2 жыл бұрын
This trend toward fatalism in feature films of the late Sixties and those through the Seventies was called the Vietnamization of the American film by critic Pauline Kael. Another film I'm reminded of from this same era was Robert Altman's "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" with Warren Beatty and Julie Christie. This atypical Western was another bleak reminder of how the war had left many Americans with ambivalent notions about the real need for such conflicts.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX7aq6qvoZmhgrM

The film won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay; it is the only X-rated film to win an Oscar in any category, and one of two X-rated films to be nominated for an Oscar (the other being Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film A Clockwork Orange).

You beat me to it...I was gonna' make a reply about it being the first X-rated film to win an Oscar.BTW, does anyone have any idea what was wrong with Ratso? Rico, I mean?Maybe something like double pneumonia? Possibly terminal tuberculosis??He obviously could have been saved had he gone to a doctor like Joe Buck wanted him to, WHEN he TOLD him to go! By the time of the bus trip it was probably too late.Anyone's guess at the illness?

The movie conveys the full sadness of this moment that is beautifully portrayed in the original book. A person who has never known true companionship and the dependency of another human being, provided by the physically fragile and vulnerable character of Ricco. Now gone. The book is a must read. The movie a must see.

I've tried to figure what are the most moving endings to films in the history of cinema. This has to be in the top 10. There's the ending to West Side Story, Saving Private Ryan and one of the best that is seldom recognized is the final scene to City Lights, a 1931 Chaplin movie.
