Although it is a gay story, the film, like The Philadelphia Story, is not from a sexual perspective, but from a broader social topic: the resulting AIDS, and the AIDS scare among the community psychology.

The more emotional scene is that the infected Tom began to take revenge and "house arrest" the object of his revenge, Dan; before implementing the revenge, Tom still took Dan's blood sample for testing, indicating that Tom was not blindly revenge; During the 48 hours of the blood test, the two had a very emotional and in-depth chat, and if not for the reasons mentioned above, the two should have become very good friends.

When the truth came out, the psychology of revenge was completely gone, only sympathy and pity: Dan was indeed infected.

This movie is really touching.
