From fate not run ... Quite common, to this day, the problem of HIV and AIDS in this film is shown in all its beauty. A person trying to survive, at the expense of helping others, is already a great topic for the plot, and director Jean-Marc Valla managed to perfectly convey it to the viewer.
It’s a complex story about the struggle with illness and power of a simple Texas electrician trying to live another new day after being diagnosed with HIV. And he chooses for this not the easiest way - at first banal smuggling and marketing, and later a large scam for the circulation of drugs.
Finding constantly new ways to circumvent the law, Ron Woodroof, the hero of Matthew McConaughey, helps dozens and later hundreds of AIDS patients, like himself, although at first it seems that he is helping only himself.
McConaughey and Summer play in this top-level picture. If for Jared Leto this is not the first film where he plays a drug addict and inadequate young man, then for Matthew McConaughey, who is used to the roles of educated and bright beauties, such a role was a novelty, and he coped with this task on Hurrah. Not for nothing, both actors for the filming of the film were noticeably exhausted. Such a couple suited the picture perfectly. Also striking is the role of Jennifer Garner, who played in this film a doctor who helps the seriously ill. She also struggles with herself and power in the film.
Yes, the film reveals serious social themes, but there are also moments that make you smile. Musical accompaniment is also pleasant, but you do not pay any attention to it, to be honest.
In general, this movie leaves very positive emotions caused by empathy with the main character, his lifestyle and his environment.
The film is worth watching even just for the sake of seeing how dear to each of his, often worthless, but priceless life, how sometimes expensive are things that used to be considered worthless.
In general, appreciate every second of your, perhaps worthless, but still life - someone is not given this at all.
The film is great, with deep social meaning. It is necessary, in my opinion, to view all not indifferent people.
