Just see their transformation......... Hats off to them!!!!!
What
a film!!! Probably the best film I watched in recent time. Mind boggling
performances by both Mathew MacConaughey and Jared Leto. Based on a true story,
Mathew is Ron Woodroof, an electrician who leaves a reckless life, full of booze,
drugs and girls as a result he is detected with AIDS in 1985. Doctors tell him that he has only 30 days
left. He comes to know that there is a drug named AZT which is being
administered to the HIV patients on trial basis at the critical stage, as AZT
is still under research. He bribes a hospital staff to get the AZT. In the
meantime all his friends deserted him. He is labelled as gay… though he is
homophobic actually. He meets a gay transvestite Rayon (Jared Leto) at
hospital. Jared Leto has already bagged the Golden Globe for best supporting
actor for this role. He is surely going to win the Oscar too. What a
performance… he’ll make you fall in love with this nagging bag of makeup….portrays
every single emotion so beautifully.
Ron (Mathew) drives
to Mexico and meets a doc over there, who tells him that AZT is highly poisonous
and kills almost every living cell it comes in contact with. He treats Ron with
some indigenous medicine of his own and Ron gets better. After three months he
drives back to USA with huge supply of the medicine. He in partnership with
Rayon (Leto) opens a forum named Dallas Buyers Club and sales those medicines
to the AIDS patients. Lots of AIDS patients quits using AZT, this somehow
concerns the FDA (Food & Drug Administration), of USA. They confiscate all
the drugs. Thus starts the battle between FDA and bunch of AIDS patients lead
by Ron.
As I predicted both Mathew MacConaughey and Jared Leto won Oscar for this film. Great is truly an understatement....... Must watch.
