Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2015)

Beautiful. That is the one word I would use to sum up this movie. Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto give performances that will be remembered for a lifetime. Both individuals were more than deserving for the rewards that they received. The film's cinematography, dialogue, and acting were all some of the best that I have seen. Yes, there are many vulgar and borderline repulsive scenes, but this helps display the effect that the director was aiming for.
One of the biggest things, for me, is the meaning behind this movie. The struggle of HIV and AIDs is such a major problem. This film was not just made for entertainment, good reviews, money, etc., it was made to show those who may be struggling with these terrible diseases that they are not alone. If you happen to catch Leto's Oscar speech, he hits the nail on the head. This was not for the actors, the producers, or the film industry. This was for those individuals dealing and suffering with this dilemma. My heart goes out to all of those people, and that is why my heart loves this movie so much.
Originally, I gave this film 9/10 strictly because I was trying to look upon it as a critics point of view, but my heart and my mind are saying "forget the critics." I love this movie, and it is easily one of my favorites.
