At first, when I saw the two and a half lengths, I thought it was too long, but I fell into it when I saw it. In fact, the core of the story is the story of the Act up group spontaneously organized by the anti-AIDS patients to speak for themselves and fight for their rights. Against such a large background, it focuses on portraying the emotional development and mood changes of Sean and Nathan, so the film It will not be too macroscopic, and it will not be too limited to individuals. The best part of the whole film is the control of emotions through the camera (especially the use of slow motion is impressive), not just to show the misery of AIDS patients suffering from illness, nor to turn it into a radical and narrow political struggle The movie is not too sensational, nor too much to portray the greatness and flawlessness of the love between the two.
The film is actually quite documentary and has practical significance. For the public, we know very little about this group. Their daily life, psychological process, will to survive, and enthusiasm for life after their illness have been greatly appreciated in this film. comprehensive presentation. In order to keep their lives alive, they unite, hold meetings and debates, fight various policies and pharmaceutical companies, advocate and protest side by side, self-study known medical materials, are not afraid to be themselves, identify with their own identity and use it Proud... In these days of fighting side by side, there is also a love that appreciates and attracts each other. Probably because of a strong sense of the limited life of their own, so their lives have been straight forward since they got sick. They don't interrupt other people's speeches in meetings, agree to snap their fingers, disagree to make a loud hiss, want to say raise their hands to speak, during the day Fight night clubs, love boldly if you want to, and then spit out each other's hearts. Their lives have always been a race against time.
Then back to Sean and Nathan, it can’t be said to be pure love between them. Nathan has a good impression of the chairman of the organization, and he bears the guilt of his predecessor, so he chose to accompany Sean to the last moment in the last moments of his life. , Sean showed fragility and fear in the last time, which was completely different from the impression of a fighter who went his own way before. Maybe he also felt the disappearance of the love between the two, just as he felt the disappearance of his own life. Gradually accept the reality of death in desperation, say "I'm sorry it's you" to Nathan, then return to the home with mother and Nathan, and accept death calmly. In the latter part of the movie, the mother helps Sean change clothes, everyone comes to the door to express condolences, engage in daily conversations, and then joke about the distribution of the ashes. This part is well controlled, the real sadness is not too much, and the daily conversations show the true nature of life. Including the ashes joke that they are racing against death at these times and cannot see a bright future. Because of such social conditions and medical conditions, only optimism can give them the strength to move forward.
I feel that the most valuable part of this film is that it shows the tenacious vitality of this group, which is full of enthusiasm and unreserved, the best-effort dancing and bright smiles in the pride parade, the struggling shouting in the struggle, the joyful dance in the nightclub, The comrades who fought side by side debated fiercely with each other and clearly expressed their views. In the same organization, there was no reason to dislike each other without concealment, and they lived a real and upright life. 120 strikes per minute, because every minute is extremely precious to them, and every minute must be tried to live twice as wonderful as ordinary people!
