Ron Woodroof masks the mundanity and pain of his blue collar with Texan swagger. His cavalier overindulgence in cards, rodeo, and sex land him in a hospital bed, subdued and branded by incurable disease and ripe for emotional quarantine. Dallas Buyers Club ignites the inner screams and frayed nerves of devastating change with a flashbang. Jolted to life's fragility, Mr. Woodroof concedes former prejudice for suave business and sincere friendship with Rayon, who hums with charm to the pain of slow erosion. Bonded in pain, Ron and Rayon meld wit and recklessness to form a profitable beehive and sanctuary for an aching community. Ron discovers a calm authority in his unique business brand, enjoying the fireworks of energetic release through the backlash of bureaucracy, while Rayon links social and personal vibrancy to the cause. Both partners seesaw over physical and institutional barriers to evoke the maturity and humility, masculine and feminine qualities in each other that evolve into a full self love that seeps to their suffering kin.Dallas Buyers Club harmonically weaves desperation and suffering together in friendship, blooming into a fine portrayal of complete self expression.

A great picture of where drug use, alcoholism, sleeping around and homosexuality will get you.

Amazingly well played by Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Loved every moment of it.

Going into the film, I knew nothing about the story or the man it's based upon, Ron Woodruff, and to put it out there, I am a bit disheartened to hear and read that so much of the story is based upon exaggerations and outright lies, especially with two characters, Eve, and Rayon being complete fabrication in order to put the character of Ron into various circumstances and in order to show his changing of opinions and beliefs regarding those in the LGBTQ community.With that said, I felt like the character of Ron in strictly film sense was an interesting one, and a few of his lines, were very witty and made me chuckle a few times throughout the mostly somber run time, which focuses on Ron finding out he is HIV positive, later having AIDS and how he manages to start this organization, The Dallas Buyers Club, in order to help people who have HIV and AIDS get treatment other than AZT, which according to the film is harmful and toxic to humans, while Ron's various drugs that he has acquired aren't.The camera-work and cinematography are well done in sections, working to accentuate the emotions and feelings of the characters and situation on the screen, and the supporting character of Rayon is quite fascinating in her ability to be a foil to Ron's rough nature, with Leto's performance being noteworthy and memorable.The film compels you to side with Ron and Rayon as well as Eve later on in the film as she breaks away from the protocol of the medical community in Dallas, as all three are seen as the underdogs wanting only to fight for their survival and the survival of so many inflicted with AIDS and HIV. Ron himself is even viewed as a hero, right until the end of the film.I started off having a great impression of the film, but this is an instance where once I learned the real story behind it all, I grew to dislike the film and while it is a well-made film in the technical aspects, the liberty with which the filmmakers went with their portrayal of the character(s), nonexistent and otherwise, and the story itself grew to be too much and I cannot recommend this film to anyone other than for the solid acting by both McConaughey and Leto in their performances.
