Movie about fall and rise of a man with AIDS

Rating: 8/10 (21 March 2014)

I watched this movie above all to see why DiCaprio didn't get the Oscar, and how Matthew McConaughey got it in his place. Well, I was quite skeptical at the beginning, but after a couple of minutes I understood that the Oscar as best actor was quite deserved. McConaughey played the role of a man with AIDS and his rebirth in a perfect and touching way. We see the fall of a man who couldn't understand the real value of his life and who couldn't appreciate people different from him, and, after that, the rise of a new man who doesn't give up and, through sufferings, understand the real value of life, friendship and respect.
