‘Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy’ Review: A Documentary About What Made a New Hollywood Classic Indelible
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic A movie, good, bad or indifferent, is always “about” something. But some movies are about more things than others, and as you watch “Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy,” Nancy Buirski’s rapt, incisive, and beautifully exploratory making-of-a-movie documentary, what comes into focus is that “Midnight Cowboy” was about so many things that audiences could sink into the film as if it were a piece of their own lives. The movie was about loneliness. It was about dreams, sunny yet broken. It was about gay male sexuality and the shock of really seeing it, for the first time, in a major motion picture. It was about the crush and alienation of New York City: the godless concrete carnival wasteland, which had never been captured onscreen with the telephoto authenticity it had here. The movie was also about the larger sexual revolution — what the scuzziness of “free love” really looked like, and the overlap between the homoerotic and hetero gaze. It was about money and poverty and class and how they could tear your soul apart. It was about how the war in Vietnam was tearing the soul of America apart. It was about a new kind of acting, built on the realism of Brando, that also went beyond it.

Brie Larson was destroyed by Trump’s 2016 election victory, broke down on set, Samuel L. Jackson claims in new interview
interview with Rolling Stone, adding they bonded during the election and Trump’s win broke her.Jackson, who plays Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has paired up with Larson several times, including alongside Larson’s Carol Danvers in “Captain Marvel” and “Kong: Skull Island,” which Jackson said was where the two first bonded because they both had bad experiences on set.“We became great friends during that particular experience because we were having such a hard time,” Jackson noted.Jackson, who was an Usher at Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral in 1968, went on to describe what his life was like growing up as a black man and how growing up in the ’50s and ’60s he experienced difficult things but can see the world hasn’t really changed.“The world seems to be in as hard a place as it’s always been. As a child of the Sixties, watching what happened at the 1968 Democratic Convention, and seeing the police beating those demonstrators — and those were young white kids — I learned there’s a certain kind of thing that the powers that be don’t want us doing.”The actor opened up about his views on the 2020 George Floyd protests and how they resembled a modern version of the Vietnam War uprisings during the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
