This was a story between two men. The profound performances by 2 Oscar winners Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight totally injected the blood and flesh into the 2 leading characters in this film.
The theme of the film was actually very cruel. The hardship of life, the carelessness of human being, and the coldness of society were incisively and vividly represented in this film. The director also adopted the relatively happier western country music as the background melody from the beginning to the end. So we could experience the selfless and regretless friendship between these 2 men who stayed at the bottom of society with a more peaceful mood.
Joe Buck was a cowboy from Texas who was treated tenderly and carefully by his grandmother since he was just a child. Joe believed he had an extraordinary charisma different from others, so he resolutely abandoned his job of washing dishes at home and went to New York with his retro jeans. As a result, he had to abandon his superiority and took the job as a cowboy there. The inclemency of reality and the lack of opportunities made his career as a cowboy harder and harder. At last, he even became penniless.
Rizzo was a lame man from Italy. Due to his physical defect and his lung disease, he had to earn his living as a thief and a shark in the New York streets. However, he also had his dream: he wanted to become successful and enjoyed his life in the heavenly Miami Beach.
Due to the fate, the 2 men who formerly didnrsquo;t have any connection at all met each other. Rizzo lied to Joe Buck and stole 20 bucks from him. But when Joe Buck was desperate, Rizzo gave him a place to rest, even though Rizzo was also impoverished. This was how the film started.
