- Dallas Buyers Club
- This movie is a story about extremes -- too much sex, drugs, drinking, foul mouth and gambling -- but that is the main character's (Ron Woodroof) personality !
- I found the movie hard to watch because of all the extremes -- but Matthew McConaughey (as Woodroof) did a very good job and made you believe he was the character !
- In the 80's , Ron Woodroof was a man of extremes and finds out he is HIV-infected and has a month to live. So being the tough character he is -- he decided to study and find alternative medicine for himself .
- A light bulb goes off in his head and uses his money making skills to gather alternative meds and form a buyers club for the Dallas area ( there was already one in NY ) because he could sell memberships but could not sell the unapproved drugs.
- Through this experience he finds out homosexuals were not the only ones being infected with HIV(which was the mindset of the 80's).
The story is great -- movie is rated R for a reason !
If you decide to watch it -- be prepared -- it is extreme !
