Their beliefs, their love, everything fell apart

The film depicts sensitive topics such as gays and AIDS in the 1980s. At that time, no one knew what AIDS was. AIDS was called a cancer that spread among gay men. The government did not recognize the existence of AIDS, and did not recognize the rights of gays. There is also infighting between them, are they coming out aggressively, or are they hiding everything in order to keep their jobs? The best thing about the movie is the gay guys breaking down, helpless because they don't know what's killing them, their beliefs, their love, everything is falling apart, those episodes are so well done.

    Isn't it amazing that Larry Kramer lives to witness his work become a well-received film and people are celebrating what he's fought for all these years. Guess life does come full circle if you fight hard enough.

    A bit scattered, the transition from the stage play to the film language is not smooth, and it is supported by the actors. At first, I was misled into thinking that it was a love drama and didn't plan to watch it, but later I found out that it was not.
