Not a movie review

This is not a movie review.

Now it’s hard to get caught in movies without strong logic. I always think it’s too simple and rude to take it for granted. What's more, it is in the field that I know something about. And there are subtitles that keep popping up months and months later. Every minute and every second is approaching death, but the movie can't express it. So the reality is hundreds of times more desperate and ugly than this.

I remembered that when I went to the AIDS conference, a speech about new drug research results was crowded with silent people inside and outside. Who told me at that time, we were here to watch the fun, but for them it was a life-saving straw. I also sit outside the venue. The lady next to me stared at the big screen, focusing on the speaker's mouth opening and closing, just staring silently.

One of the main reasons why future research wants to focus on the direction of HIV/AIDS is that such a terminal illness that is completely impossible to cure can strip away all the pretense and hypocrisy from the human body, leaving only the necessities for the face of death. , Only staring so intently. And I am infinitely curious about the nature of this life.

Just like there are five minutes left in the math test, you stare at the paper and know that if you can't do the last question, you may have to fail, but you can only listen to the time slowly and quickly crawling past. If you lose a subject, they lose their lives.

Dallas Buyers Club quotes

  • Ron Woodroof: I still got HIV?

    Dr. Vass: You will always test positive for HIV. And now you've got AIDS for all the toxic shit you've put in your body. You've shut your immune system and now you've got chronic leumonia, among other things. It could cause memory loss, mood swings, aching joints.

    Ron Woodroof: So if it sucks, I got it.

  • Ron Woodroof: Do you ever miss your regular life?

    Dr. Eve Saks: Regular life? What is that? It doesn't exist.

    Ron Woodroof: Yeah, I guess. No, I know, I just... I just wanna...

    Dr. Eve Saks: What?

    Ron Woodroof: Ice-cold beer, a little riding in. Well, take my woman dancing. You know? I want kids. I mean, I got one... one life, right? Mine. But sh... Fuck, I want somebody else's sometimes. Sometimes I just feel like I'm fighting for a life I just ain't got time to live. I want it to mean something.

    Dr. Eve Saks: It does.
