Wonderful movie with outstanding performances.

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2019)

2014 was a great year for the Academy Awards. Dallas Buyers Club won three Oscars and they deserved it especially the best performance by an actor in a leading role for Matthew McConaughey, and the best performance by an actor in a supporting role for Jared Leto. What a devotion of Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto to loose respectively 47 and 30 pounds to play their characters. Matthew McConaughey looked really bad, which was the point, and deserved credits for his devotion but also for his best acting performance ever. He was just incredible in his role, and so was Jared Leto. The rest of the cast was also really good. Add to that a fascinating story based on true events and you get a movie that doesn't let anybody indifferent. The pharmaceutical industry in the United States is one of the biggest, shameful and corrupted system in the world and nobody seems to care over there. It's been going on for decades and still nothing changed. The right for medication at a fair price should be mandatory instead of trying to earn as much money as possible from people that are dying. The USA and all his citizens should be deeply ashamed that there is still no affordable medication for everyone. If you're rich there is no problem in the USA, but if you're unlucky not to be super rich and you get hit by a terrible disease you might as well just shoot yourself in the brains. My wife is American by the way, and when she came over here to live in Belgium and later Spain she couldn't believe the difference of price she had to pay for the exact same medication. The whole American health system is a farce and that for a country that sees itself as a world dominating power. Watch this movie and maybe you'll learn something from it. Dallas Buyers Club is a wonderful movie about that whole corrupt system that keep the sick ill as long as possible to make mega profits and take away any dignity left from dying people.
