Best Documentary I have ever seen.
How can anyone argue the fact that Urban Cowboy was, and still is, the best document of Texas life for the time period. Consider the following: men beat their wives, get drunk at bars nightly, get married to settle a fight, commit adultery, and compete on mechanical bulls. Try and name a movie that depicts real life so vividly. They dont make them anymore. It seems current films are always about people with lots of money, they live in huge homes, drive expensive cars and don’t work. This movie has a celebration scene about getting a trailer for pete’s sake !

Anyway, I watch it at least once a week. No kidding. I have dissected this movie from end to end. feel free to email me to learn more about my reason for calling it a documentary. Consider the following scenes: Bud sees Sissy – they are split up – he amicably honks and waves, she flips him the bird – he returns half the peace sign honking his horn to add impact then tears off.

Buds mom calls him approx. 18 hours after he gets into town, on a Sunday, to see if he has a job yet – all he has accomplished is getting drunk and laid(x2), with help from his uncle and aunt who cover for him.

“You all live like pigs” Think about why this scene is needed. Think about it. Was it necessary ? Could we not figure it out without showing the filthy sink ? God I love that !

Sissy allows Wes to help her ride the bull. Only a few days (or possibly the next day) after Wes just kicked the crap out of her husband. Steve asks – Hey Sissy, remember Wes ? Oh yeah, didnt you beat my husband up the other night, so let’s get this lesson goin’, to make no mention of the fact that she seeks solace in him later during one Bud and Sissy’s many fights, which by the way all take place in public – in Gilley’s !

The Wedding reception picture taking session (oh the humanity !) could they at least arrange or move the chairs out of the way. “My legs are sweatin’ momma”

In conclusion, you don’t put scenes like this in a movie to try and show insight into human psychology. It is a documentary of real life.

I only wish there was a director’s cut….

How Can You Not Like This Movie???
First let me say I am not from the south but I am an American. I don’t love Country music but I can stomach it. I would never wear a cowboy hat but I wear hats. I don’t live in a trailer but I do eat tuna salad and own a home. What does that have to do with this comment? A lot if you are one of those people who say only “country” people love this movie. This movie is loosely based on the “They loved and lost” premise. James Bridges directs an American love story as real as it gets. In an era of Jerry Springer and “Lets put it out there” mentality, this film rings truer than ever.

Bud is “coming of age” and embarks on a life of his own with a little help from his aunt and uncle so he moves to the big city with them. Bud finds himself drawn into the local honky tonk world for the only escape a blue collar man can afford. He quickly meets Sissy who is from a similar background and the two have a whirlwind romance filled with painful ups and downs.

(*This plot takes so many turns that one has to just sit for a few minutes before they get hooked. Marriage is a focus here that is often missed. Early in the film they marry and we view the transition from being single to married. The film highlights some of the modern struggles a woman has when she marries an old fashioned man. It also brings into view the male ego with women and competition.)

Bud is challenged and is excited when Micky’s puts in an electronic bull. Sissy gets ideas of having fun on it too but is quickly reminded that she is married and need to start “acting like it.” The emotion between the two characters is raw and expressive and the plot continues from there especially when they (NOTE THIS IS GIVING SOME OF THE STORYLINE AWAY) split and Sissy falls for an ex con with a penchant for abuse and cruelty. She soon realizes that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

How anyone can compare Bud to Vinnie Barbirino is shocking to me. John Travolta gave an exceptional performance that was worthy recognition. He was believable and real. The scene where he shaves his beard and you first see him at the bar..still gives me goosebumps. Mind you I am not a huge Travolta fan, but come on, I see why Sissy was kicking of her boots so early in the film. Deb Winger was so real that you found yourself sympathizing with her as she pens a note of emotions to Bud, after sneaking in to clean his house during their break up.

The supporting cast was incredible. Wes played by Scott Glenn gave a first rate performance that made you hate him and curse him as he abused Sissy. Madolyn Smith-Osborne, as Buds Mistress/girlfriend was so authentic that large chested girls across the U.S. prayed to wake up flat chested to wear the clothes she donned in the film. My biggest kudos’s go to Barry Corbin and Brooke Anderson as Bud’s aunt and uncle. They seemed like someone’s aunt and uncle somewhere in Texas and however small their role, they made the film so much bigger and lifelike. Two memorable scenes were the Dolly Parton contest and the unforgettable scene where Bud and his aunt stand outside after one of the characters death. The dialog between them is touching.

If you can watch this for what it is, a true American love story. Then I recommend that you take it for what it is…a film before it’s time that gave us voyeurism into a world unlike our own but real enough for our enjoyment and entertainment. If this world sounds similar to yours then you will enjoy it so much more. Lastly, the music however dated, is sure to send you back in time if you are over 30 years of age.
