But during the Spring Festival this year, I received a call from my friend for many years. He said he was diagnosed and I was thunderous. I remember that Tianjin had the first heavy snow of this winter that day. In order to make it easier to talk, I avoided my parents and ran outdoors. He became a fool while crying outdoors while holding the phone.
Then AIDS came into my life from then on, and then I began to collect information on the Internet, and then I paid attention to the topic of AIDS in Zhihu, and then I started to get in touch with any information about AIDS.
Forgive me for temporarily digressing and return to the topic.
A few months in advance of the word of mouth and the strong cast of the cast I believe most people have raised the expectations of this film very high, which is actually not a good thing for a film, this film is typical.
The film length of 133 minutes (yes, 2 hours and 13 minutes, which fully challenged the limits of the audience and the director's overconfidence) did not allow the director to tell the story well. From the moment when Jonathan Groff fainted at the beach, the director’s sense of mediocrity for image control has begun. The 133 minutes of the film is full of too many uniform, over-full emotional out-of-control, and occasional love-hate entanglements interspersed with out-of-control emotions. The rhythm of the whole film is unstable, and the mood of the audience is always irritable. Note that it is not tight, but irritable. It is due to the director’s excessive and uncontrollable emotional control (the film with the same look and feel is also "Extremely Loud, Very Close"), and the contradictions are displayed excessively. And unorganized. A director’s taste and ability to control rhythm are too important. A great director makes simple stories interesting (such as Coen Brothers’ "Ice and Blood Storm"), while second-rate directors can only make a good story that is impressive. Irritable.
Besides performance, the performance of this film can basically be summed up in one sentence-someone has been playing out of control, someone basically maintains the standard, someone is too beautiful, someone. . . It's Xie Er, well, their order is Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts, Matt Bomer and Xie Er.
In fact, it is a great thing that a film of this kind of theme can be shot, with a line of actors participating, and being able to be broadcast on commercial television. Even if the director is disappointed, the correct information can be conveyed to the audience. This is already true. Precious.
Perhaps a few months ago, my outdated concepts prevented me from having physical contact with people living with HIV (the AIDS statement is not accurate), let alone eating together, but just after all this came into my life, I fully understood After the route of infection and the nature of the pathology, my mindset began to change. My long-time friend and I were still shopping together, eating together, and watching TV together as before. Everything remained the same.
In fact, some things may have changed. One day a friend called me and said that he had watched the "Dallas Sales Club" I recommended. He said that after watching it, his mood was complicated. At that time, I realized that even if a person has a strong heart, even if a person may pretend to be extremely strong inside, even if a person Trying hard to accept the status quo, it would be cruel to expose him to a negative environment too much. This will make him lose the motivation to live in the present and put his thoughts on the future, so "Plain Heart" may not be suitable for people with HIV to watch. The film's treatment of the illness is very direct and cruel. I would not recommend this film to my friends because his mentality has changed.
Of course, the significance of this kind of film to the public is just like the change in my concept of HIV. It lets you know about this matter, lets you understand the causes and consequences of this matter, and lets you see the love-hate entanglement of this matter. You experience the physical and mental state of this matter, so that you let go of prejudice, let go of discrimination, let go of estrangement, even if you can't let go of anything (just like homophobia and AIDS), it can let you at least know this matter. It happened not far away, no longer ignorant.
When I met my friend for the first time after learning about my friend’s condition, I said this to him: “In fact, this is a chronic disease. Compared with any kind of chronic disease and your previous life, you just need to take medicine every day. , Occasionally go to the hospital, pay attention to your own health, be honest with your lover, live in the moment, and continue to live a peaceful life. "
In fact, you and me are not mortals, all because of having a normal heart.
