I was on my motorcycle when the thought of having this movie I've just watched jotted down and posted it on my blog. It was quite-good-rather-boring movie, for me.

ASTOUNDING, yet kinda drilling. That word came forward after I watched this movie. In some ways I found this movie conveyed an upstanding biopic which required the two main actors to transform dramatically representing the character by body metamorphoses, speech, action and gestures.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
Matthew McConaughey as Ron Woodroof.
Where have all those bulky arms gone? :P
Jared Leto as Rayon
GEEZ! He's got Cara Delevigne's THIGH GAP! MY EYES!
well, what would have happened if the director, Jean-Marc Vallée, really cast a trans-gender woman as Rayon? I bet it would arouse critical and sincere comment from LGBT community. well, just a thought.
Here's the movie info from Focus Features
"Matthew McConaughey stars in DALLAS BUYERS CLUB as real-life Texas cowboy Ron Woodroof, whose free-wheeling life was overturned in 1985 when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive and given 30 days to live. These were the early days of the AIDS epidemic, and the U.S. was divided over how to combat the virus. Ron, now shunned and ostracized by many of his old friends, and bereft of government-approved effective medicines, decided to take matters in his own hands, tracking down alternative treatments from all over the world by means both legal and illegal. Bypassing the establishment, the entrepreneurial Woodroof joined forces with an unlikely band of renegades and outcasts - who he once would have shunned - and established a hugely successful "buyers' club." Their shared struggle for dignity and acceptance is a uniquely American story of the transformative power of resilience. (c) Focus Features"
This epic biopic movie moved me but not really pathetic. Getting off with the uh-oh sound of Ron made love to two unknown women, it was quite surprise me, LOL. Inside the cinema, there were only approx 12 people watching, and three of them, including me, we were the only women. thank goodness i wasn't alone that nite. and we all were like, "WHOA, what on earth was that?"
Thru the movie, we were surely impressed by McConaughey's and Leto's acting abilities. Their portrayal to the characters (Rayon was fictional, tho, according to some sources) was immensely splendid, indeed. No wonder why at the 71st Golden Globe Awards, they won Best Actor – Motion Picture – Drama and Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture respectively.
Despite bits of its draggy dialogs and irksome scenes, the message transmitted quite successfully. As an AIDS-infected, Ron's struggle was not a happy-ending one. He became the doctor for his own medication and helped others with the disease to be the subject to his own specified treatment or analysis of HIV-AIDS illegally medicine in the US at that time. In addition, Rayon's character was intravenously injected an undeniable quality of being open and truthful; not deceitful or hypocritical trans. Rayon graciously enclosed a sucker punch of mere, meek, and touché extravagant drama in which action is more salient than characterization. Sweet, tender, yet much inflictive and enchanting.
here's a spoiler, hahaha. no kidding.
