Dallas Buyers Club (2013)
Director:
Jean-Marc Vallée
Writers:
Craig Borten, Melisa Wallack

quote: Rog: Who the hell’s Rock Hudson?

Clint: He’s an actor, dumbass. Haven’t you seen North By Northwest?

Once again, Matthew McConaughey and his proud Texan accent excel in a film which seems to be tailored man for him. It is a familiar story of the common man going up a system and its laws. He does this to save his life and you have got to admire his arrogance. He also uses loop-holes in law to ‘sell’ the drugs to HIV patients.
I didn’t feel a great amount of disdain at his ignorance about the illness. As this was the 80s and news of how it was transmitted was ‘spread’ by the press and that is the only information you had in those days (even the doctors stood back from him with face-masks). His homophobic nature was a part of his age and culture but being introduced to people who he easily mocked earlier and then seeing them as people in the same of boat as him lead to one of the film’s theme of ‘redemption’.
I’ve read that there is some artistic license to the real story and some of the characters but i don’t give a shit. The sentiment is there and the film is well made and acted and it isn’t a documentary.

My husbands review, I loved this film! Please go and see it! Think god Matthew McConaughey has stopped making stupid films with Kate Hudson!
