Sean was infected with AIDS for the first time at the age of 16, and his life has been completely changed since then.
He is one of the core members of Act Up Paris. This organization fights against society and pharmaceutical companies in order to protect the rights and interests of AIDS patients. Slogans, clothing...if you support it, you snap your fingers, and when you oppose it, you boo. They are a group of angry people, which also makes their image more vivid.
At the beginning, the film created a tense atmosphere through the rapid development of the plot, and the editing was also impressive. For example, the director first showed a protest organized, but did not describe it in detail, but passed a regular meeting afterwards. , Through the members’ mouths to reproduce the scene at that time.
Sean and Nathan, another member of the organization, had a chemical reaction during an AIDS prevention activity in a middle school. Sean kissed Nathan in the public. And one of their passion scenes (which may cause discomfort for some people) began to shift the story line from the organization to the individual.
Although the love between two people has caused the plot to become protracted, there are really many plots that I like very much. (The spoiler started...until the picture...well...it won't be released in China...if you want to watch the spoiler, just watch it...)
After the pharmaceutical company protested, a group of people took the RER (or métro, bah, I’m not very familiar with Paris traffic), Sean began to talk about his fears to the scenery passing by the window, and Nathan sat opposite and watched quietly. he.
The two stripped naked and kissed wildly on the bed. Sean suddenly remembered and found a condom for Nathan to put on. Nathan smiled and did whatever you wanted. (While watching this passion drama, I was thinking that society may still have some prejudice against AIDS patients. Maybe most people still think that they are disorderly and excessively indulgent people, but in fact, most people are not like this. .Even after AIDS, they also have the desire to express their emotions, which is really sad. They can’t be really close. They have to be separated by a condom.)
Parade in the street, Sean and a few boys wearing pink skirts chanted slogans. Nathan suddenly fell to the ground. When he stood up, looking at them across the crowd, he smiled, then walked to Sean and hugged him.
Nathan wanted to kiss Sean in the lecture hall, Sean said something to refuse him (the original French version I read has no French subtitles, I don’t understand it), then Nathan said I don’t care (Je m'en fous), and kissed him Up him.
Being controlled by the police during a radical march, Sean was brutally taken into the car, Nathan yelled, he was sick, he was a patient.
Later, Sean's condition began to deteriorate sharply. He lay on the hospital bed and said to Nathan who rushed to see him that I was sorry. He told N in a weak voice that he missed him very much. They started kissing, N helped him masturbate, S had an orgasm, and the semen shot on his belly button, S laughed out of tears, N pulled out a few napkins to wipe off the semen and tears for him, and hugged him happily.
In the second half of the story, the director didn't control his rhythm. In a few regular meetings, large speeches and disputes made the plot too lengthy. I saw an elderly man in front of me who couldn’t sit still since the passion scene... took out his mobile phone many times to check the time...
But I think the ending is good. The bed scenes of Nathan and Thibault add points to the portrayal of Nathan's character. The story ended in a street protest. Later, it did not describe the reaction of all walks of life to Act up. It showed that this struggle was really a lonely struggle, and they were all brave warriors in this struggle.
After Sean's death, friends all came to visit him and his mother at home. One of them wrote an article about Sean's death. He stood in front of everyone and read it aloud. The article praised his qualities and his contribution to the AIDS community. . Sean's mother was silent for a while and said, I don't know if it's a little naive to say this, and can add that he is a very brave person.
Every individual who accepts that he is an AIDS patient and fights with illness and society is brave. What we can do is to give them a little courage when they are discouraged and tell them that we hope you will live.
Silence=Mort
Action=Vie
Nous avons envie que vous viviez!
Finally, I hope everyone pays attention to personal hygiene and protects yourself as Nathan said when he handed out condoms in middle school. À la santé!
(I watched the movie last night. After I came out of the cinema, I was crying while walking on the road. I was so sad that I couldn't speak. My memories and thoughts are still chaotic...)
