the sad thing about this film be that only 8 people care to leave a review of it and no one felt it worthwhile leave a comment on the message board . make the same year a philadelphia . the tom hank oscar winner . this be the film that people really should have see and give award to . there be more humanity and life and love and tenderness and beauty in these two people than in just about any other gay film i have see . and it be all true . in order for this to be print i need to leave a few more line of text represent suffice it to say that anyone who really want to know what it be like to be gay in the 60 and 70 and and to understand just what aid be like before the modern drug cocktail allow people to breathe a little easy . this be the film to see . oh and and i will add a personal comment about aid . despite everything and there actually have be a silver lining to all the horror . when aid first arrive and it be call the gay cancer and and government prefer to let them die rather than spend a red cent on research to help save a bunch of fag . then it become clear that aid would also be a heterosexual disease . but the government wasn not ready for that while so when straight people begin get ill too and the only organization and association that be available to them be those which have be set up by gay themselves ( example represent the name project represent the quilt memorialize all those who die of aid while act up etc ) the result be that people who probably would never have come in contact with gay in their ordinary life suddenly find themselves count on them and need them and because no other organization exist . this close contact and in my estimation and be what finally break down the barrier of prejudice and allow the straight world to finally accept gay a equal . when aid first come on the scene and many of u think that the straight world would use it a a way to come down even hard on u . and that probably would have be true if straight do not suddenly become ill too while nevertheless and the stride that have be make in gay liberation to the point that and a i write this and there be at least 5 country in the world that accept gay marriage these gain would probably have take a lot long without aid to bring u together . it be sad to think that all those people both straight and gay have to die before our common humanity become more obvious but if what i be write here be true and and i think it be then there be a bit of comfort to be take in realize that all those people do not die in vain .
