Best Movies of the Year - Dallas Buyers Club
Posted by Nerdyy
Another great movie about the true story about a 1980s Texas blue collar worker who suddenly finds out that he is HIV positive - in the early days of the disease this was know as a "gay" disease and hence wasnt afforded the attention it deserved because of its unfortunate association of what was thought to be an alternative lifestyle. Well - the protagonist here Matthew McConaughey is 100% straight and this movie tells the story of society slowly coming to grips with the large scale severity of the disease and more importantly the struggles of a group of HIV positive men (and women) to stay alive - and the truly superhuman efforts of the two main protagonists to smuggle and provide non FDA approved proteins vitamins and other supplements to delay the inevitability of death - the operation they run is the Dallas Buyers Club. Remarkable performances by McConaughey and Jared Leto make them prohibitive favorites to win Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.
