The problem with this movie is that New York City is in no way a central part of it. This is not a movie about New York, it’s a movie about friendship. Any major city would have been a suitable setting for the main characters. Because of this reason I had no idea why we watched the movie in class. Many big cities have prostitution. The fact is many small towns do as well. If this was the main character’s reason for moving to New York you would have thought he could make more money as a cowboy prostitute in Texas, where it’s still cool to be cowboy.
Friendship can exist anywhere. Maybe that is the point of the movie. After all unlikely friends going to florida. Even in death friends sit next to each-other on the bus.
