[Ordinary Heart] [Everyone has the right to pursue love] The theme of the film is the struggle for human rights and the struggle against the unknown AIDS in 1982. The love between the two protagonists is just polished, but still very abusive. Super sweet, two people, but it always ends in tragedy. At that time, it was generally believed that AIDS was spread among the same sex. The same sex had certain rights in society, but it was still fully accepted. They lived in the shadow of death and social pressure, and this film describes a group of people. struggle. Among them, the deep affection of the two protagonists is indeed a moving point. It also reflects the entire social state at that time from one side. Hey, please treat people with AIDS kindly, face AIDS squarely, and keep fighting.

    There is really no point, it's piecemeal, although the performance is really good.

    Such a subject could have done well, like Dallas, but this one is obviously too messy. Most of the time it's sensational and ranting, leaving little room to tell the story well. Of course the actor sacrificed a lot. Movies about the history of the same period can try the documentary "Plague Survival Guide"
