No one can understand you except yourself. Pain is like this, and so is love.
Even the sound of a heartbeat of 120 beats per minute tends to be pale. The world is too big for anyone to listen to a person's insignificant cries or whines.
The theme of this film is to speak up, to speak out for love, to speak out for the minority of love, so that the government and hospitals that ignore the status quo can see this group of people and see the suffering caused by some people because they have not fulfilled some responsibilities.
The entry point of the movie is very good. It starts from a debate and extends to the previous ACT UP action, which is brought in and explained. The ACT UP organization seems to be doing things and activities all the time. People only choose drastic means when there is no way out. These people are either already infected with HIV, or have a deep understanding of this aspect. , they are the group of people who have entered the enemy the most, and they are also the most hurt. In the first half of the story, it seems that they only plan riots and marches in their lives, but in the middle, we know that they are not, they all have their own lives, Life outside ACT UP is just because HIV makes them seem to have to fight, fight against the virus, fight against indifference. But this group is not selfish, it can even be said to be selfless. They are largely doing what the government should do, promoting correct sexual behavior, understanding AIDS, etc. These are all things the government should do, but in this On the one hand, the government is missing.
A lot of things mentioned in the movie seem to be something I have never heard before, T4 cells, pharmaceutical companies... These seem to have nothing to do with the lives of ordinary people, but their daily life. Life returns pain, but I kiss back with song. This group of people is not depressed, it seems that they spend the rest of their lives dancing and loving. I seem to be able to feel their breathing in the rhythm of the dance, weak perhaps, but alive.
The second half of the film focuses on Sean, a boy who has been infected with HIV. He has a same-sex lover Nathan. Sean knows that he has been sentenced to death, but even at the last moment of his life, he will love, Can also embrace, this is the power of human beings. We can see Nathan's growth in the movie, the powerlessness or fear of the first parade, and finally being able to speak for this group of people, even if he is healthy, but someone is suffering, and he already knows all this .
A story does not depend on how much influence it can have on a person or how much shock it can do. All it can do is tell one thing or convey one's own attitude. I think this is enough. At the end of the movie, Sean sees red blood flowing in the Seine, which seems to be the passing of life.
