But in fact, this is undoubtedly a legend. A person who was diagnosed with a life span of only 30 days finally lived for seven years. Not only is it a legend, but it is also very inspirational. This kind of inspiration is not something everyone has the opportunity to imitate. Of course, no one wants this kind of opportunity, just like the protagonist couldn't believe it when he first learned that he was infected. But there is no choice.
Oscar-selected films usually need to promote universal values in the contemporary era, so what universal value does this film bring to us? The struggle history of terminally ill patients is certainly touching, but it is not more worthy of being made into a movie than the struggle of everyone who has encountered difficulties in life. What I have seen is the struggle when people are forced to stand on the weak side. This is the part of the film that not only has the significance of the times, but also deeply digs into the human nature.
The patient has no choice, at least after getting sick. But compared with patients, there is even less choice between transvestite and homosexuality...These tendencies cannot be changed by washing hands frequently, not staying up late, and eating lightly. But these groups are more or less discriminated against in social life-including AIDS. Compared with ordinary patients, AIDS patients receive less sympathy, and they are even ostracized by mainstream society for a long time. From the scene where the protagonist fights in the bar, it can be seen that the "comrade disease" patient made the former brothers disgust, contempt, and fear. What's interesting is that you can see a sharp change from Ron's attitude towards Rayon, from the initial rejection to acceptance, to the scene that happened in the supermarket-pinching a person's neck and forcing him to shake hands with Rayon. This scene is an excellent interpretation of the anxious desire of the marginalized people to be recognized by the society. At the same time, it reminds us once again of the selfishness of people-if we are not on the disadvantaged side, it is difficult to put ourselves in and understand the feelings of this group of people. In fact, more people are not interested in understanding at all, and all timid people will avoid it because of fear. In the play, Rayon's father is no exception, which illustrates this point.
The prejudice against people with AIDS is so deep-rooted that it takes an AIDS cowboy to have the confidence to reverse it. In this regard, Jean-Marc Vallée’s thinking is exactly the same as that of Ang Lee-the prejudice against homosexuality is so deep-rooted, it seems that only one can be taken. The love for gay cowboys is taken seriously! You see, the bravery of cowboys is not used to despise the weak, but to fight against power. A cowboy with AIDS is still a cowboy, and a profiteer protected by the law is always a profiteer. This image of a cowboy fighting to the end is not only a role model for people with AIDS, but also aroused audiences to re-examine their attitudes towards disadvantaged groups with admiration and sympathy.
Of course, few people in the celestial dynasty would do this. In addition to rituals and music, but also because most people are disadvantaged groups, why don't you check your attitude towards yourself? (In this regard, the only thing that the people of the celestial dynasty should worry about is that no one will speak for themselves one day.) It’s important to speak up or help each other when you see the disadvantaged group being treated unfairly. Human differences are more basic. In this era of information explosion, the voice of the majority has the right to speak, not to mention the monopoly of the media by certain countries. Thinking independently under a high wall really needs some cowboy spirit of "Even if the sky falls, I still have to eat steak, drink red wine and soak hot girls".
