If there is no disease, no birth and separation, no death, no ignorance, and no discrimination in this world, then that is the normal heart I long for, and that is the peaceful island that I look forward to. The film starts with a beautiful island, sun, coast, sand, carnival, indulgent smiles and passionate dance, and the man who looks at everything, he said he never loved, friends told him, this is what we won for ourselves freedom to enjoy. In 1981, it was a time when homosexuality was not fully publicized even in America, but the disease was not going away. Comrades get the freedom they deserve or think they deserve for their dignity and choice, chaos and indulgence, good or bad? The strange disease, which was quietly infected, made the persistent and tough female doctor aware that some things must be noticed in the gay circle, and from the initial disdain and protest, as more and more relatives and friends around them passed away, Beginning to become fearful and helpless. The brave and outspoken writer is eager to make the public and the world pay attention to and vigilant against this group and this disease. He is resolute and vigorous, and shouts loudly and angrily to the outside world with fierce words, just to win fair treatment. In the process, he also finally met his love, a fate he once passed by. When he fell in love, how much he cherished the person around him, and how much he understood that today he and them need an ordinary life and a society that is treated equally. As friends around them passed away due to illness, a group of volunteers began to organize themselves to learn more information and news, and to spread useful information. As a radical, the writer played a leading role in the team. . But the reality is so cruel, the government's indifference and ignorance, and the cowardice and powerlessness of the companions make everything so difficult. And his lover also fell ill, which drove the writer completely crazy. The incomprehension of his relatives and the inaction of his friends made him miserable and angry. He was like a drowning man, desperately trying to catch every ray of hope, but he couldn't see it. To the sun, to the hysteria... The whole movie is accompanied by a flat narrative style with depressing scenes, which makes people unable to let go for a long time, but the carnival island, the dance floor where lovers embrace, the gentle whispering in the ears of lovers, and those handsome and sweet charming smiles are all Dotted with pictures, what ordinary people and things, isn't it? There are some things that you and I can't resist. Finally, the writer's lover left forever because of illness. They made a lifetime commitment in the ward, in front of relatives and friends. I have a normal heart, but I am willing to give it to you forever. The government is finally starting to pay attention to the disease - now it's called "HIV AIDS", this group, but it's paying too little attention. Finally, in the white snow, in the small auditorium of Yale University, at the Gay Week party, in the melodious and romantic music, there are dancing figures of lovers who are leaning against each other, while sitting in front of the candle-lit fireplace is a lonely man. The writer, the dance partner who has been dating has been missed forever. He looked at the alumni with tears in his eyes but smiled. In fact, they are all the same, only have a normal heart.

    HBO Is this the rhythm of a big-budget calcium TV movie every year? Star-studded, Hulk's acting is just amazing! Peacock is going to [Dallas Buyers Club], does the Emmys recognize this? In short, like [Dallas], it's easy to criticize the government. And a drama with a single character from beginning to end and so many characters, it is inevitable that it will be overact when changed into a movie.

    Peacocks are so beautiful they cry. Is it because of the adaptation of the stage play, everyone feels a little too much force... Peacock is quite natural [I guess it's really not too strong in the later stage... alexander's stalk is a bit deep, other things are okay.

The Normal Heart quotes

  • Ned Weeks: I belong to a culture that includes Marcel Proust, Walt Whitman, Tennessee Williams, Alexander the Great, so many popes and cardinals you wouldn't believe. Mr. Green Beret, did you know that it was an openly gay Englishman who's responsible for winning World War II? His name's Alan Turing and he cracked the Germans' Enigma code. After the war was over, he committed suicide because he was so hounded for being gay. Why didn't they teach any of that in schools? A gay man is responsible for winning World War II! If they did, maybe he wouldn't have killed himself and you wouldn't be so terrified of who you are. That's how I want to be remembered. As one of the men who won the war.

  • Ned Weeks: Once upon a time, there was a little boy who wanted to love another little boy. One day finally found that love and it was wonderful. I'm supposed to use gloves. I'm supposed to do this. I'm supposed to do that. I'm supposed to not kiss him. I'm not supposed to be only 45 years old and taking care of 35-year-old young man, who's a 100 years old and dying. Emma calls it a seesaw. He's fine. He gets sick. He gets better. He gets sicker. He's afraid I'll leave him. I told him I wouldn't leave him, that I never, for one second would think of leaving him. But he doesn't believe me. It's hard to believe in much these days. But we must never stop believing in each other. I'm a mess. That's what I am. You cry and you cry until you think can't cry anymore. And then you cry some more. Not only for yourself and Felix, but for all the little boys who finally found their other little boys they've wanted all their lives now that we're men.
