[@emelyariasp]

I loved Hoffman's performance, but I actually thought Jon Voight was outstanding here. They both were, but Voight conveyed an innocence and naiveness that it's really hard to portray.

[@badmonkey2222]

Well said

[@MSYNGWIE12]

Emely, you got me thinking! Do you act? Your comment sounds as though you do- until I became of "an age" chose and it's a coin toss- chose Hoffman for his ability to make his pain, physical and emotional palpable but, I was young! Today under covid lockdown I will watch this gem again. I look at them now, babes in arms ! I wouldn't ever end up in pain - Ratso's poverty etc. I don't smoke but I have osteoporosis and other bad habits- I identify with his frustration at having little control over money, ill health- no coconuts for me, loathe HOT, HUMID, WEATHER, but innocence and line-free faces and that niggling feeling if regret - Dustin made me feel. I guess I looked at young, handsome, well scrubbed, Jon and thought, well he's more than halfway there to begin with! No, proverbial don't judge a book by the cover. Maybe I'll change my mind! New York City was one of the many pins on my globe- still is but I have lost hope....Namaste Z. Sorry for length, should read up doing a "precis or synopsis" ...

[@vicinvesta8349]

More like extremely low IQ.

[@pricepittsburgh]

They were both up for best lead actor and the irony was they both lost to John Wayne, who Voight references in this scene.

[@LuckyBastardProd]

That line inspired that great bit in Repo Man; young Otto got beat up and a bunch of Repo men want to hunt them down, like John Wayne. “John a Wayne was f*g.” “The hell he was!!” “He was to, you boys. I installed two way mirrors in his pad in Brentwood and he come to the door inna dress,” “shit, that don’t mean he was a homo, Miller. Lot’s of straight guys like to watch their buddies fuck, I know I do. Don’t you?!” “ Fuck ya John Wayne! Now who did this to you ya little pussy”

[@strellasmith777]

I always felt kinda bad that Ratso didn’t get to eat his coconut... poor dude was just trying to get healthy! 😜

[@TheChrisrg]

This is without a doubt one of the greatest American films ever made. Chock full of memorable lines, two of the greatest performances ever commited to celluiod,some great music and a British director. If you have never seen this film do yourself a favor and get a copy and enjoy.

[@gplunk]

Truly masterful cinematography....

[@drgeorgetayloriii4280]

Just saw this movie and was blown away by the acting. Superb. They both nailed it.

[@80steen44]

Maybe Jaws with 3 main characters, Brody, Hooper and Quint. But Midnight Cowboy is the best for two

[@edsreturn2012]

I'm British but consider this masterpeice American classic to be the most amazing, funny, beautiful and tragic movie ever made. Wonderful acting and chemistry between guys down on their luck.

[@ns3510]

Apparently, the director is British

[@ArtemisiaXVI]

@@ns3510 Yes, John Schlesinger was an english director.

[@rustyshadow7]

There are very few actors that I would consider to be "great" because of their versatility, their ability to play different roles/characters, Dustin Hoffman is one of them, another was the great Paul Muni.

[@darrusdarrison5128]

NYC wouldn't let them film in a abandoned building, so they took a abandoned building apartment piece by piece and made Rico Rizzo's apartment on a movie set.

Fun Fact: More people are injured by falling coconuts each year than shark bites.

[@Beeftrout22]

Now that’s some pretty peculiar behavior

[@TheBalls55]

I like the scene where Ratso is cooking dinner for Joe and says "ok that's hot let's go" . I don't know why probably because it doesn't seem like acting.

[@badmonkey2222]

Love this scene, " i ain't never seen you change your underwear once the whole time I've been in New York, now that's pretty peculiar behavior" 💩 😆

Jon Voight just keeps getting better looking....74 and still as gorgeous as ever !!! I'm 40 and think he is the best looking actor ever !!!

[@michaelmaguire4555]

I loved this film, every aspect of it just made me so sad

[@redastrachan8978]

Painful masterpiece

[@Davett53]

2023.....I must have re-enacted the street scene,....."Hey, I'm walkin'' here!",....that Ratso yells at the car trying to run him over on the busy NYC, street,....like a 100 times in my own life, on streets all over the USA,.....( when some asshat, is trying to drive through the crosswalk)...and barely stops to let me walk. I invoke (my best impersonation) of a NYC accent,....and bang my fist on their car's hood. (check it out, its an iconic scene, from earlier in the movie).

[@lestergreen7740]

I've never made a comment on a video like this but...Gilbert Gottfried sent me here. I just never got around to seeing Midnight Cowboy but you could say I'm "aware" of it. So when Gilbert pulled out a Ratso impression on the Stern show I knew right away what he was doing.

[@sarcasticsugar4466]

Excellent movie. Dustin Hoffman really steals the film for me though, he's superb. He was fucking robbed of his Oscar!

[@bigleaguechew87]

+Lemon Drops You know what's funny....the guy that robbed him was John Wayne lol.

[@Jared_Wignall]

Well, John Wayne didn’t have an Oscar at that point so it was his turn to win. It was a situation where the real winner wasn’t going to get it as they had to give a legend his due.

[@80steen44]

@@Jared_Wignall John Wayne acts the same in every movie. He changed his voice a little in True Grit and everyone was like Oh Wow. It basically a lifetime achievement award.

[@willerror]

Heartbreaking.

[@TheGodParticle]

Incredible movie, wish they made an alternative ending

[@AnnaSefalik]

+TheGodParticle why? Why mess with perfection?

[@TheGodParticle]

+Anna Sefalik it's just that I like a happy ending, always imagined joe and ratso walking along miami beach with a big smile on their face.

[@AnnaSefalik]

TheGodParticle that would be so much weaker than this ending--which was, in its way, a "happy" ending. Ratso was never going to get well, but he died next to the person who was probably the only real friend he'd ever had. Joe came to a new maturity and was ready to start a new life, on more adult terms. I found it a very satisfying ending, and making it all sugary sweet would have been a betrayal of the grittiness of the film.

[@TheGodParticle]

+Anna Sefalik yeah true, now that you put it that way I'll admit defeat, cheers.

[@rockking05]

Joe went to Florida,and became " A Cocaine Cowboy ' instead lol

[@anemone9]

IT'S RAINING COCONUTS

[@ren8931]

Fun fact: In the beginning of the the movie they play the song “everybody’s talking at me” song by Harry Nilsson. He also sung a song “put the lime in the coconut “ I wonder if there is a connection or it is just a coincidence?

Back handed compliments

[@coreywalton710]

Lucky kids...

[@ritter89]

I've always wondered what Ratso is using to pierce that coconut? Is that can opener? It looks like the completely wrong tool for the job "Hell, the only one thing I ever been good for is lovin''"

[@backdoor68]

looks like an apple corer

[@Slig1977]

I agree, one of those can openers that has a corkscrew for wine bottles. Knowing this character I'd guess he found it while dumpster diving.
