WTF did I just watch tbh? I have been living under a rock due to working more hours than usual at the clinic. I had almost no idea what this film was about, just that it had something to do with Matthew Mccounaghey losing a ton of weight. Never in my life have I seen a tier film than this with the exception of the time I watched Freddie Got Fingered for about 15 minutes.
This is just another pathetic attempt to push the gay agenda, and tbh I am one of the few people who doesn't give a about their agenda (neither for it or against it, dont give a tbh). I have absolutely no ing idea how Jared Leto won an Oscar...a ING Oscar over that easy ass performance of a tranny. How hard is it for a bisexual to act like a in tranny ? He had a total of 20 minutes actual screen time and they were all .
Mccounaghey himself had a decent performance but the movie itself was just an epic fail. Absolutely no take home message, nothing special about the overall theme. Maybe only that the FDA is corrupt, I learned in undergrad.
Apparently the Oscars have now just become a political garbage show
gay-related movies are always preferred by Oscar and hence are more likely to win out imho, brokeback mountain, Milk, and this one, and many to follow. And I'd be surprised if anyone told me it was after this film that she/he realized that Oscar is pure dog . Oscar has been for years and that's why the true greats never win or even get nominated for it (examples like Arnold and Goddess who've never been nominated for , and Downey/Cruise/Pitt... who got nominated multiple times but never won)
I watched it and thought it was a good film but didn't really figure it was trying to push the gay agenda? There's lots of gays in it but the main character is straight and HIV/AIDs, while having high prevalence in gays isn't solely a gay virus...
Arnold Schwarzenegger?
It used to be just a gay virus, but they weren't content enough to just keep it among themselves.
I agree that Leto's performance was overrated...Fassbender got robbed.
Arnold is a true great.
Dallas Buyers Club was a good film.
Matthew mcconeghey basically ran a long con inn the academy. Played these masculine roles over the years. Kept himself as a model straight guy. Just so he could get his award on a gay film. Damn brilliant.
You're an idiot....
The "gay" agenda....really, I just watched Expendables 1 and 2 over the weekend....damn "gun and violence" agenda....
The acting was spot on, from both Matt and Jared. Watch more movies bro and you can look past the "agendas" or "underlying liberal" messages and look for the acting, direction, production and effort that makes a movie a great movie. The scene with Jared looking into the mirror and emoting was what sealed the award. Also, name me 2 better performances that year?
The overall theme wasn't to change the laws, or viewpoints of people as you can tell from the majority of the threads on this site that being "gay" is still frowned upon and looked like a pariah. It's about these characters living with the disease and finding solace in the darkness.

you're right but no point saying all this to someone who, while saying they knew nothing about it.. clearly made up their mind about it before seeing it
it was a decent flick tbh. you wouldn't be able to tell it was them unless you knew beforehand.
you still in Radelaide?
I don't think it had anything to do with the Gay agenda. I think it was about a man who contracted a disease he was in denial about because it was ignorantly labeled a gay related disease, and how he overcame it and how his outlook changed not because of his acceptance of gays, but because he was in the realm of reality where near death causes people to see more clearly the things that matter. He didn't care about the law and didn't care about gay rights. He just cared about staying alive.
HIV has nothing to do with Gays. It's just spread more easily through their form of sex and drug use than through females or heterosexual intercourse. Matt killed it, flat out.
If anything it says Gays couldn't do anything to help themselves and it took a straight (yeah right) man to finally get the balls rolling on finding a cure/treatment and getting the FDA to move.
Actually the rumors about the IRL dude was that he's been Magic Johnsoned a few times. His "I'm straight" thing was mostly to keep the majority of the audience from walking out.
I think some people are just butt hurt over the love that this movie got at during awards season. The movie is fantastic and has a good message. McConnahey's character didn't accept defeat. He did whatever it took to live and fight the disease that he thought was a gay man's disease. He was definitely deserving of the Oscar that he won.
The movie was really good. I didn't think it had a liberal agenda, tbh.
McConnahey? Was he in the movie? Leave it to Jacob to blow off the research and just slop the name up there phonetically. That liberal arts degree is kicking in.
this day and age and people still would walk out on a gay protagonist.. jesus christ..
Whatever. I made a spelling mistake. At least, I didn't say the Blazers were the "guest" team in the NBA. Just sayin'. My haters can burn in .
Who are your haters, mate?
yeah i'm wanting to do a melb trip before i leave in may.
Never watched the movie myself but I believe what my Jacob just said. I'm even going to translate the screenplay of that film into chinese and trying to get published. Most Oscar nominated-won films are flat out dog s but Dallas Buyers Club (for its namesake alone) has to make a difference, tbh.
It's a great movie. You shouldn't let your own hatred of gays and AIDS make you dismiss this movie.
