    Matt totally killed it. He was so heartbreaking, and he really did look so frail in the movie. It was hard to watch. He did such a great job, though. The whole cast was great, really.

      zombiedrea - Absolutely correct, zombie. Very touching film. It needs to be seen by all homophobes and HIV poz people. It's an important history lesson as well as a charming film. I cried when Ned and Celix got married while Felix was in the hospital, dieing. Made me cry.

    that scene, where he shows 'Ned' the KS lesion on his foot....broke me. They're traveling to Ned's beach cottage for a little 'get-away' to celebrate their new relationship..the wind is blowing in their hair and they're holding hands the way two gay men hold hands, while Ned is driving...and you hear Bryan Ferry singing "More Than This" on the soundtrack. And then, BAM!!!!!..a simple conversation about how Felix has a son, but didnt fight for custody, turns into him running out of the room, and Ned following him to the bedroom, where Felix shows him the lesion....and then Ned crumples against the wall in shock. Im tellin you, I felt like I got hit in the face with a hammer. I didnt see that coming. And I cried. But I didnt realize until later, that I was crying because Ive been there...Ive had a very close friend tell me "I have AIDS...and Im going to die, I just know it". He told me that in 1989..and he was right. He died 4 months later.

      Yeah, all the actors/actresses was phenomenal and they definitely deserve a big boost and recognition for this performance. And so does this movie. Heartbreaking but it gives the people who seen it a really important message. And the history and the message the movie gives us never really leave you.

    I truly great actor. He can act anything he wants to. And to the studios who said this man couldn't act a straight roll I am a woman and I can as sure and hell say this man totally turned me on as Neal Caffrey in White Collar...when he began to make love to a woman I was more than convinced. An amazing actor. If they ever bring back It Takes a Thief ...he should be the main character. He'd totally kill that roll too. Love you Matt.

    I'm straight and I will preach to others that if you look at the main emphasis of taking up a cause and fighting for it with the kind of veracity that Larry Kramer and his Health Crisis group went though to take AIDS head on, it beyond an inspiring piece. I mean who knows how in the dark they were at the bleakest point when no one wanted to help them and keep them in the back burner. What else can you do? Keep fighting and never stop..

    I think Finn Wittrock (on a different role) also lost weight for this movie, didn't he? They did a great job with their depiction of AIDS and I was also really creeped out by those lesions and how in one scene he tries to cover up with make up.

Para entender la actualidad hay que remontarse a todo esto para entender tantas y tantas cosas. Interpretaciones de 10. Vibrante y emotiva de principio a fin. ¿Quien no cuidaria hasta el final de sus dias al amor de su vida? Lo dicho. Soberbia.

    Actors should not have to starve to near death to play a role i think that is why it is called acting. Just pretend the screen graphics now can deal with physical size changes.

    • @go4it293
      @go4it293 9 лет назад +13

      jan lester I disagree. This entire movie was focused on remembering the victims of this disease, so saying that 'not enough is being done to remember the real victims' doesn't make much sense. Not to mention that no one was calling Matt a 'victim'. In fact, the whole point of what he's saying is that this story deserved to be told, and whatever risk was involved in such drastic weight loss was worth it to tell the story of these victims of AIDS

    • @jantheman4903
      @jantheman4903 9 лет назад +2

      and again not enough is being done as an adjunct. its a great production but not a documentary or a revisiting. that is my view. i was in chicago when they called it grid, when we could not get even morgues to take us. maybe nothing can capture it. have a good day.

    • @go4it293
      @go4it293 9 лет назад +5

      jan lester I'm truly sorry you had to go through that. I understand that to someone who had to go through it, this movie probably doesn't come close to capturing it. But as a kid born in the 90's, I've never experienced anything like it and until this movie I knew almost nothing about the struggles that victims of AIDs had to go through. Honestly not much gets to me, but this movie did in a way that almost nothing else has before. I know it can never compare to what you really went through, but from where I stand I was able to get a glimpse of what happened and I got to see at least a little of the horror and heartbreak that people had to go through.
      I think a lot of the people involved in this film thought of it as more than just some job...for Matt in particular, it meant a lot to be able to be a part of it, and that's what I was trying to get at. Here, if you have time you should read this...the whole thing if possible:
      www.indiewire.com/article/matt-bomer-the-normal-heart
      This is why I was so quick in my attempt to defend him :P I admire the guy, and these thoughts he talks about going into the film are part of the reason. Sorry for such a long message, I just wanted to get it out.

      and i cant watch milk as i have seen him alive.. am glad it got to u. somethings are ugly and meant to be. but i think the actors need to make sure that their acting is just that. he was paid major bucks...and included was for him to lose all that weight. that said i am such a fan of his..in everything he does. have a good nitee
