It's a great movie. You shouldn't let your own hatred of gays and AIDS make you dismiss this movie.

Its a matter of opinions. The gay agenda was very subtle here but it was clear to me

1) The main character hates sexuals in the beginning, AIDS is only seen as a gay disease
2) He gets the " got disease" and his friends disown him
3) He hates Jared Leto's character because hes a tranny
4) When the guy goes to introduce himself at the AIDs support group he freaks out
5) He becomes friends with Jared Leto
6) He sees Jared Leto's character has more layers than what he though
7) He confronts his "dumb " ignorant phobic friend at the market and forces him to shake Jared Leto's hand
8) He becomes an unsung hero in the gay community
9) It shows you the vulnerability and human side of these people
10) Ultimately the message is we are not so different, despite our sexual preferences

That's what I took from the film...but I understand the temptation to think otherwise

Arnold is a true great.

Dallas Buyers Club was a good film.

Arnold is a true great? Seems more like true lies.

Even if that is the case.. how does it make it a film?

Guess you have never seen the classic Kindergarten Cop. Oscar worthy performance.

I thought it was a dull ass film tbh. Thats my opinion

Actually no, it's a fact that you thought it was a dull ass film. Your opinion is that it was a dull ass film.

I expected a better movie. Lol, I didn't know the was jared leto...oh well, ill most likely never see it again. I like matt, but not ethiopian matt.

[bigzak25]

The only character I liked in the movie was the Mexican doctor.

[Thebesteva]

cool

Thanks scrah

this day and age and people still would walk out on a gay protagonist.. jesus christ..

Not saying they would, but part of filmmaking is budget and part of that is profitability. That means knowing your audience. It's why some films don't show blood when there should be, in order to maintain their PG-13 rating.

Had the film been about a blatant sexual who contracted HIV and fought to live, people would have been like "meh". You don't have to like it, but who's going to invest in a movie just for the humanity aspect? It's a profit driven business. The large majority of people aren't sexuals so they cannot relate not only to being Gay, but the feminine tranny life style of a confused sexual male. You'll notice it was about males, not females. What award winning movie has been made about female sexuals?

I was a bit disappointed by the turn of events since I had no idea what the movie was about. As soon as they told him he had HIV I was like "great, another feel sorry for the got movie".

[silverblk mystix]

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

You have to know how to read between the ass cheeks;

The award had nothing to do with the movie - Leto just acted normally. The award was for his everyday portrayal of a straight guy while he works in hollywood.

You are welcome.

Arnold was a ty actor but he had good screen presence if that makes sense. Plus his movies were like 10x than a lot of the generic action that gets released nowadays

LOL calling this a movie about the gay agenda when Hollywood censored the story and turned Ron Woodruff to a rodeo cowboy who ed lots of es when he was really a (not bi, but gay) who got rammed by lots of s. I thought McCoughnaghy was awesome in the role but the writing was bull . LOL leaving out the fact that AZT is a very successful drug in HIV tails that allow HIV+ people to live normal lives now. LOL absolutely none of the drugs the Dallas Buyers Club promoted worked or are even used anymore. Typical Hollywood bull where they gotta make somebody the bad guy (in this case, the FDA and the doctors doing double-blind studies with AZT) to get an emotional response to the movie. I swear the only supposed non-fiction Hollywood ever made that was even remotely close to the truth was Casino.

Not sure if you're saying it was a good movie or . My point is the movie was ing whack.

McCoughenaghy did an outstanding job in the role, but I hated the movie for being a dishonest piece of passing itself off as a biography.

Its really hard to let me down when it comes to movies. I download all my off torrents so I never feel the movie 'owes' me anything. Its really really difficult to let me down. This is one of the first films in a long time to let me down. Im usually the guy that advises my friends to see a film and they later tell me it was 'ok'. I thought it was just too gross of a film. Also I like Jared Leto in Lord of War and Fight Club. His acting was solid in this film but it was not oscar material imo. Oscars have lost their way.

I don't know what you mean by too gross a film. I hated that it was a lie about big bad government regulation sticking it to the innocent small business owner and big bad medical research intentionally killing people in the name of profit.

[baseline bum]

What a teabagger wet dream that piece of crap was. And lol at the balls to write this ridiculous story about the drug companies and the FDA stifling innovation when they effectively cured the disease within 10 years.
