the other side of the truth

When I watch a movie before going to bed, and the two people's rivalry in a confined space, the monotonous words are just hypnotic. Maybe I can also find the feeling of "12 Angry Men"
and then just finish watching it.
After watching it, I found out that Tom was kidnapped by the director and

kidnapped Dan, just to test his HIV, because Tom was found to be HIV positive, and he only had one one-night stand with Dan.
Dan has always stressed that he is safe, but Tom doesn't believe it. The two have been fighting for your truth and ture truth for half an hour. I think it's quite boring, so what? Who asked you to 419, and no one forced you to do it. If yes, both of them will admit it together. If not, who will admit it.

The conversation then brought up Tom's wife, who died in a car accident after being diagnosed with AIDS. It turned out that this was the real reason why Tom kidnapped Dan. Because of that one-night stand cheating, he felt that both of them should be responsible for his wife's death. So, the focus of the dispute became, who brought AIDS? Wife or Dan? Is it straight or gay?

Tom keeps repeating, if the test comes back positive, he kills Dan
, so the pro-gay and pro-hetero guys start to set up their own venues
If Dan is, he's damned
If Dan isn't, it's cruel to marriage

In the end, Tom, who got the report, released Dan and told him that the result was positive.

My first reaction was, damn it, gay!

But after thinking about it, I found out that I was deceived by the director, because this result does not explain any problem at all.
Dan infects Tom, Tom infects his wife, this is a possibility
, but in turn, the wife infects Tom, Tom infects Dan , this is also a possibility,
and the film said that the wife became ill earlier
because the wife died, and there was no evidence for her death. What is the truth, who knows?
Maybe Tom also figured this out before letting Dan
go. No matter who infects who, they are punished for their irresponsible behavior.

The film really has the reversal logic of 12 Angry Men. It is not easy for
two actors to finish the play just by acting.
Regardless of whether the director is anti-gay or not , the
film warns people that they must face up to the safety of sexual intercourse. This is a certain

AIDS Blaming
homosexuality or heterosexuality is biased regardless of whether it is homosexual or heterosexual, or whether it is inside or outside marriage.
In short, wearing a condom is the last word!
