Dallas Buyers Club - Philadelphia Texas Style

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2020)

First of all, I was very impressed by the acting job done by Matt McConoughey. I had previously thought of him as a lightweight melodramatic actor. He has proved me wrong. He can handle the heavy load. His performance was worthy of an Oscar, and it was rightfully given to him. The screenplay was riveting because it showed the AMA and FDA for what they really are; thieves and profiteers. The medical community in the US would rather see thousands of people suffer and die rather than have them get medication from another country that could actually help them. An FDA approved drug has all the validity of a film that is condemned by the Catholic Church because of adult content, like Midnight Cowboy. Obviously, the Church had no clue about quality of film; it was just concerned with the moral issues. The same is true for the FDA and AMA. They are not concerned about effectiveness; only approval of American drug companies. This film is on par with Philadelphia, and in some instances, superior to it. A film not to be missed.
