      The result of a mixture of factors

      Based on the stage musical of the same name, the film tells the story of Louis Irnson's constant conscience torture after abandoning his gay lover, Pryor Walter, who has AIDS. Although it is a discussion of AIDS and death and the chaos of the end of the century, it is not blindly sensational. Instead, the author's confidence in life and rare humor are revealed everywhere. Interesting but sobering presentation of a subject that might otherwise seem overly sentimental. In addition to...

      Everyone is an angel!

      Even a very small American drama made me watch it, I really admire myself. A collection of American problem cultures, thanks to the translators.
          The setting of the story is extremely extreme. One of the gay male protagonists married Mormon's wife, and one of the other gay male protagonists with AIDS was abandoned by his lover. These are the two main lines, and there are many small lines of gay people. I can't remember the ages, and I won't say much about the plot. Or the old rules,...

      hope in despair

      The case of giving up heaven for love is not new. The reason for PRIOR to give up heaven and choose the world is not love, but just the desire for life. No matter where there is betrayal, illness or pain, he is willing to be in the heartbreak Staying a little longer on the land, fighting against life and misfortune, finally he regained love and happiness. I didn't expect it to end in this way, whether it's illness or betrayal, we've become so familiar and used to it. But in the reunion between...

      I won't comment on the drama, I really like a song "i'm his child"

      The song is nice, and Zella Jackson-Price's singing is very good. Although it is a religious song, the
      people at the funeral are all kinds of people, dressed in all kinds of strange clothes, but no matter what, they are the children of God
      Lyrics:
      I may not be the best of anything
      Or have the best of anything
      Sometimes I feel like I'm the least of all
      But I know someone who has everything
      And He is my everything
      And I happy just to know that I'm His child...

      Every American is related to Prior Walter (Such an idiotic title back then. Every American White Guy? Maybe?)

      Introduction In the past century, the LGBT in America have fought long and hard for their equal rights. The majority of Americans are now in favor of homosexual marriage, while as lately as 1989 merely a little more than 10 percent of the nation liked this idea (Smith). Gay writers have played a big role in this shift, as Christopher Bram writes: “The gay revolution began as a literary revolution” (qtd. in Smith). According to him, The Second World War and the civil rights movements in the...

      Ah...the importance of wearing a condom.... Freedom is always a relative concept.

      Four and a half stars. Except for the incomprehensible Angel and Joe's mother's incomprehensible brain circuits, everything was fine. It's more emotional to watch this drama in combination with today's. The most distressing character is undoubtedly Joe Pitt, the beautiful dummy, as the "villain" that you American leftists hate, but magically has clear and transparent eyes, perfectly compatible with conservative and open, selfish and honest. Quality, pure and innocent scumbags, pure and innocent...

      I don't understand it at all, so I'm embarrassed to give stars! The first rabbi played by Gu Mei is not rude at all! It's so far to kill one person with multiple angles in the cloud...

    • [Ethel Rosenberg walks into the room]

      Roy Cohn: Aw, fuck. Ethel.

      Ethel Rosenberg: You don't look so good, Roy.

      Roy Cohn: Well, Ethel. I don't feel so good.

      Ethel Rosenberg: But you lost a lot of weight. That suits you. You were heavy back then. Zaftig, mit hips.

      Roy Cohn: I haven't been that heavy since 1960. We were all heavier back then, before the body thing started. Now I look like a skeleton they stare at.

      Ethel Rosenberg: The shit's really hit the fan, huh, Roy? The fun's just started.

      Roy Cohn: What is this Ethel, Halloween? You trying to scare me? Well you're wasting your time 'cause I'm scarier than you are any day of the week! So beat it, Ethel! Boo! Better dead than red! Somebody trying to shake me up? Hm, hm? From the throne of God in heaven to the belly of hell, you can all fuck yourselves and then go jump in the lake because I am not afraid of you or death or hell or anything!

      Ethel Rosenberg: I'll be seeing you soon, Roy. Julius sends his regards.

      Roy Cohn: Yeah, well send this to Julius!

      [Roy flips her the bird]

      Ethel Rosenberg: You really are a very sick man, Roy.

    • Roy Cohn: I have all the time in the world.

      Ethel Rosenberg: You're immortal.

      Roy Cohn: I'm immortal. Ethel. I have forced my way into history. I ain't never gonna die.

      Ethel Rosenberg: History is about to crack wide open. Millenium approaches.
