I am a gay man with no talent. Just opinions.
For years as my friends all passed away. Then were living with HIV and passing. Now they are treatments and drugs and PREP. I am still here. Forb years I carried a guilt I did not understand. I do now. I live with survivors remorse. I didn't know such a thing existed. I happened to meet a person at a party who sat with me for several hours and explained it to me.
I never saw this movie till now. The first movie I ever saw was "An early Frost." At the time that movie was shattering. The impact unbelievable. That movie plus I was to learn today, "Buddies". Which premiered 3 months prior to "An Early Frost". Helped to put the AIDs crisis on the President Regan's desk. Notoriously he did nothing! 89,000 people died while he was in office. If you want to know what went on then with the government and the role of Dr Robert Gallo in delaying US recognition of the HIV virus. Thousands died as DR. Robert Gallo got the patent rights. I digress.
This movie brought meb back to 1983 in a stark and cold reality of the time. It has been beautifully and lovingly digitally remastered. If you wish to see a movie to best illustrate the time. If you were born after 1980 this is or should be required viewing.
