"Welcome to Dallas Buyers Club" oh I loved this film,and i do not care about the rating,as long as you love it,rating does not matter, then give it a 5 star buddy a film biography of someone who had the AIDS, and he was literally shock that he even said he was not a f*ggot, not all homo only had the AIDS even hetero could have it I always felt bad for those who had the AIDS/HIV and sometimes I could even think, why would I felt bad for them??? they did literally something, something they never knew will occur,or happen,and that was AIDS, only advice I had, be aware who u eat, an outstanding performance of Matthew McConaughey ( I love this man so much )
I liked this film quite a bit, but it really belongs to Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Both are absolutely amazing in their roles, but Matthew impressed me more simply because I haven't thought he's been great in any of his other recent performances. In fact, I'd thought people were overrating him, but he completely disappears in this. He owns the role, through and through, and instantly makes Ron likable in spite of how he starts off. I really have nothing else to say, the script and directing are pretty good but the film wouldn't be anything without these two central performances. Garner was decent, although I would have liked a more capable actress in the role.
I can't understand why this film is flying so low, under the radar of plaudits. Yes i have heard praise being charitably thrown its way. Coins compared to riches that are pouring over others. It is a spectacular story; incredibly inspiring. I feel no need to divulge information about it as believe me it is best to go (with or without knowledge of the events) and just watch it, enjoy it, soak in what has become a rarity these days of a compelling story, and a riveting powerhouse performance. You maybe get 3 or 4 a year and this is one. A superb film that ironically isn't being weighed down by an unfulfillable bandwagon. I mean when Matthew McConaughey won the Golden Globe for best actor it was seen as a slight shock, when in my book if Di Caprio wasn't going to win it then the next best scenario, without a shadow of doubt, was indeed him. It really is a great performance and a magnificent film. 8.5/10
There are two artistic things in the movie. One is rodeo, and the other is the hand-painted wildflower paintings left by Ron Woodroof's mother. The cowboy represents the struggle, and the wildflower symbolizes warmth. In other words, the leading actor Ron is a cowboy, expressing his unyielding spirit, and the supporting actor Rayon is a wildflower, reflecting the warm side of the movie.
Rented this from my local library & watched it last night. Unbelievable performance by Matthew McConaughey. Almost seems like he was born to play this role with the "allright, allright, allright" personality fitting the Ron Woodruff character perfectly. His transformation & Jared Leto's for this move are unlike most other movie roles I've ever seen. Makes you wonder of Leto will pick up more roles after his Oscar win or go the Daniel Day-Lewis route & handpick a role every few years. McConaughey has done a complete reversal from his days playing the same guy every time in those silly romantic comedies. Will be interesting to see going forward what kinds of roles he picks now on upgrade Upscaled 4K coming soon on Universal 4k ultra hd release February 2021
Most actors try their best with every role they take on, but then there's that rare opportunity that requires a physical transformation into the character, and Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto take on the challenge by taking off nearly 80 pounds between the two of them. The former plays a homophobic rodeo cowboy and electrician, the latter plays a transgender drug-addict; together, they set their differences aside to build and operate an underground pharmaceutical market to treat others livings with AIDS just like them. McConaughey and Leto rightfully took home Oscars for their performances. Garner, O'Hare and Zahn work out nicely in supporting roles. Also won Best Makeup & Hairstyling, and nominated for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing. ***½ (out of four)
Mathew Mc. obviously deserves a bit of a salute. His efforts to slim way down brings to mind, obviously, Christian Bale. Not bad company to be in! But the REAL STAR is Jared Leto. I know his other work and kept reminding myself that he/she was really a transvestite. And so sad to see the drug use (shh). And he/she was truly pretty. Of course, in real life, he's s a gorgeous guy. So,I hope the Academy will take note! Also interesting to hear of the Interferon drugs talked about. Now THAT'S something I know about. I have M.S. and inject myself once a week with it. It slows the progression of the disease Too bad the movie doesn't mention the other druga now available. Perhaps they weren't around then. I'm not a doctor, just more familiar with some of the drugs - would be great if I weren't!
(90%) McConaughey really is shaping up to be one of the best actors working in Hollywood today. Here he's better than faultless, and with the sublime Jared Leto adding support then it's easy to see why this struck a cord with so many film goers. The best thing here though is the fact this is a full-length depiction of people essentially slowly dying with completely believable death likened weight loss, and yet overall it's not a complete misery endurance, in fact it's a very uplifting movie about people, against all odds, fighting just to live that won't take no for an answer. This is a great movie, with great performances, with an important human story to tell.
Truth be told, I watched this without knowing what I was really getting myself into. But wow. This film blew my mind. Simply the emotions that it invoked in me. It really made me feel for the characters. All the misery, the sheer resilience, the 3 dimensional characters with their changing and evolving mindsets and personalities. It really is a very, very touching film.
The movie kept me interested till the end, so thats pretty good. although the ending seemed a bit off, the rest of the movie was good. maybe the ears ringing was a overused trope, but overall the sound dising felt very well thought out. 7/10: good
