hmm i agree with the reviewer who say that strange people with generous taste have be review this film . i think the film be intrigue enough to watch it . i think that be primarily because of marsden and speedman not the plot . the bottom line be that this film be mildly psychologically tantalize on the one hand and profoundly homophobic on the other . thumb up on the former and triple thumb down on the latter . i be not sure if the film be intend to promote dialogue or to spread fear and propaganda . i think the acting be mediocre . a lot of conversation that be about 90 degree askew of reality . i keep want to derive some meaning from the plot and but it ultimately just a conversation with a mad man ( speedman ) . i feel mildly sorry for him ( speedman ) because of his loss and but not really . his loss be no great and certainly be less than loss suffered every day around the world by more significant cause . do the film expose naiveté about hiv or aid . yes represent that of the intended audience . be hiv a dark and mysterious and evil killer . what about it victim . the answer to both question be no . neither hiv nor it victim have any more or less malevolent intent than lupus and multiple sclerosis and tb and hepatitis and cancer and or their victim and for god sake . just because a disease be communicable do not make it either deliberate or negligent or evil it just be . do this excuse ignorance or fool hardy risk take . no . should all people practice safe sex . yes . will safe sex save the world . no . be safe sex realistic in all instance of love and lust between passionate and emotional human being . of course not . what kind of a world would we live in if everyone follow the rule and no one ever take risk and and sex be never spontaneous and passionate . be i ignoring that the film deal specifically with gay sex . yes . hiv be spread by share blood or bodily fluid between infect and non infected individual . sex be not necessary for transmission and gay or otherwise . i be always disturb by willful violence of one person upon another . i actually think the film do do a good job of portray the absurdity of tom violent abduction and captivity and and intent towards dan and and this kind of insane violence do occur every day . stream of consciousness note from the film represent tom be crazy . why doesn not dan ask why do you feel this way and rather than what be you do . implication represent men who have sex with men get aid implication represent hiv equal aid where be tom responsibility in the sex act . why be it dan responsibility to use the condom . maybe you slip it off before you stick it in what be we talk about here . be one of the party unconscious . maybe she do not want to hear the truth be you kid me she up in heaven and so unbelievably hurt about what she now know about me right be dan life over if he have hiv . certainly not . be this why the whole world be so homophobic . they think gay men be the cause of hiv and that they will give it to the rest of the world and and we will all die be you kid me . be people really stupid enough to think that homosexuality be the cause . be the problem . do we feel that way about the victim of tuberculosis . of malaria . i can see that tom be hurt because of his wife death and and he blame it on aid and but seriously who at fault here . the victim or the virus . be illnesses really the responsibility of the ill. ( presume they do not seek and do not seek to spread the disease ) . sure and safe sex be essential to a safe life and but so be not drive and not fly and not leave the house and not live . do we really want to blame the disease on the victim . would safe sex between tom and dan have prevent tom wife ultimate demise . perhaps and but not dan sole responsibility . tom be crazy . do i mention that . tom to dan represent maybe you get what you deserve come on . 24 day represent violent and naïve and and homophobic . be i overreacting . perhaps . but i think this film point a judging finger at gay men for their reckless and malevolent intent towards a straight world by practice unsafe sex and when the rate of homosexual practice safe sex be proportionately equivalent or good than that of heterosexual . we all need to wake up and get serious about hiv or aid . hiv be kill hundred of thousand of straight african every year .
