When a former friend learned of Ron’s indifference after getting AIDS, when Ron left home, the only thing he took away except money was the painting. Later, after Ron and the female doctor Eve Sakes developed a different affection, he would The painting was presented to her, and Eve hung the painting on the wall, and the warmth spread instantly. The film begins with rodeos, and ends with rodeos. At the beginning, the obscene Ron seems to be completely new at the end. He rides on the back of the bull and accepts the impact. At that moment, a resisting hero image is born.
"Dallas Buyers Club" is set in Dallas, Texas in the 1980s, and the film is adapted from real people. Regarding the social rejection of homosexuality, "Brokeback Mountain", "Milk", "Blessed Bobby" and other works have been reflected, so the homophobia of ordinary people in "Dallas Buyers Club" is not difficult to understand. In addition, the United States only studied one anti-AIDS drug at that time. The drug AZT taken by Ron in the film was the only AIDS treatment drug legally approved by the FDA at that time. The United States was particularly conservative in the development of anti-AIDS drugs. This is why foreign anti-AIDS drugs were developed. AIDS drugs are considered contraband in the United States.
Through the strong contrast before and after Ron got AIDS, the film sublimated the theme that everyone is equal and everyone has the right to survive. Ron abused alcohol, drugs, gambling, and licentiousness. Because of his social cognition at the time and his recognition of the cowboy culture, Ron also hated homosexuality. This is when he talked about Hollywood actor Rock Hudson's joke of homosexuality and being a transvestite. Rayon's disgusting behavior can be seen when he approaches. Ron never imagined that he would spend the rest of his life with LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender). Excessive indulgence, hovering between sensuality and beauty, HIV inadvertently sneaked into this incredible cowboy. It wasn't until the fall that day that he knew that he was also knocked down by fate. How could this kind of malaise that only happened to homosexuals come to him? He couldn't bear it, and went to the library to look up the materials, and finally convinced that he could only be heart-piercing. Driven by instinct, Ron sought a cure. He found the doctor at the hospital, but was told that the experimental drug AZT could only be provided to a very small number of patients. He felt that Ron, who was abandoned by the hospital, began to trade drugs with underground drugs, the last transaction. In, Ron learned that a doctor whose license was revoked by the United States had developed anti-AIDS drugs in Mexico. After moving to Mexico, he was treated and his health recovered. So he started a business of smuggling anti-AIDS drugs. Due to the lack of AIDS drugs in the United States at that time, Ron’s drug trading business was growing day by day. Many patients went to Ron to buy drugs. The "Dallas Buyers Club" came into being. Of course, Rayon’s help was indispensable during this period. As the trafficking of illicit drugs, the resistance faced by the "buyers club" is naturally not small. Ron's office was searched by the police, and Ron had to face charges from the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration). In the end, Ron took the FDA to court, and the court ruled that Ron had the right to obtain drugs for his own survival in order to survive. Although it is not a victory, at least this is a positive signal.
In this process, three changes must be mentioned. One is the change in Ron's attitude towards Rayon, the other is the change in female doctor Eve's attitude towards Ron's drug sales, and the other is the change in Ron's attitude towards life. In the hospital, Ron was very resistant to the transvestite Rayon he met for the first time, but he couldn't resist loneliness and played cards with Rayon, which resulted in an intersection. When Ron started smuggling drugs, Rayon took the initiative to buy shares and operated together. In the process of getting along, Ron gradually got to know the gay group and began to care about Rayon’s life. For example, he reminded him to give up taking drugs and stand up when Rayon suffered a blank eye. This last friendship in life can be met but not sought. First of all, female doctor Eve disagrees with Ron smuggling drugs. After learning of the medical authority and the FDA's inaction, Eve also resolutely turned to support Ron's "buying club". The most important point is the change in Ron's own attitude. From a stray cowboy at the beginning to a social activist fighting for the rights of the AIDS group, he saw his own value in his last days.
For such a work that relies on acting to win, it is obviously unscientific to bypass acting and talk about it. Jared Leto, the actor of the supporting actor Rayon, has even overshadowed Matthew McConaughey, the actor of the actor Ron. As a Hollywood character actor, McConaughey has fully developed his acting skills in recent years and has developed a method. The avenue of actor distribution has performed well in "Killer Joe", "Newsboy" and "Sludge". Jared Leto continued his unique film selection model. Non-drugs, AIDS, and neurological subjects were not selected. For this actor who regarded singing as his main business and acting as his sideline and has not taken a film for 6 years, this year's " "Dallas Buyers Club" will undoubtedly make a big splash in his acting career, and the transvestite with both body and spirit is destined to become an unforgettable role in film history. The two actors worked hard in the film and looked at their skinny bodies. I was once again convinced that not everyone can be an actor. Under the attack of the two actors, actress Jennifer Garner's impressive acting performance was completely reduced to a foil.
One feature of this film is that the curtain tells the time. After Ron fainted and was diagnosed with AIDS, he was told that he had only 30 days to live. Despair hung over him. He began a desperate life looking at the calendar. On the 30th day, he found a life-saving medicine in Mexico. From then on, he began a life of selling medicines, from the beginning of purely seeking private interests to Later, he ran for comrades and AIDS groups to fight for medical rights. In the last days of his life, he struggled with the disease and the FDA, and died 2557 days after he was diagnosed with AIDS.
The main point of the film is not to portray Ron as a high-profile remake. In the second half of the film, there is still a plot of him masturbating with a female patient with AIDS in order to release his sexual desires, watching the pictures on the wall. This alone is enough to admire the director and walk out a path that is not so the main theme.
