Ron Woodruff took the FDA to court, where the judge accused the FDA of using intimidation to coerce a terminally ill person into treating himself with drugs that the FDA considered harmless.

The U.S. Drug Administration was established to protect people, not to prevent them from getting help, and if a confirmed terminally ill patient is empowered to use whatever method they deem helpful.

All these judges said justice and sternness, and then came a but.

However, there is currently no legitimate authority in the United States to intervene in the matter, so the court dismissed Woodruff's appeal.

……

It's too dark, it's too dark. It is simply unreasonable that the US Drug Administration does not allow people to treat AIDS on their own because of profits, and the AZT they launched is toxic. They were sued in court, but the court refused to accept them.

Is there any reason for this? Is there still a royal law? Is there still a law?

Criticism is harsh enough, isn't it?

Although Ron Woodruff lost the case, he gained the support of his patients.

Later, the FDA allowed Ron to continue treatment with the drug. But this seems to be just a kind of handout, a kind of helpless release under the pressure of public opinion, and in law this is still not formally documented, but only given a temporary power that can be withdrawn at any time.

At the end of the movie, he truly achieved his glory as a rodeo, stepping into the arena and riding on the back of a cow......

Ron Woodruff died on September 12, 1992, 2,557 days after doctors declared that Ron had only 30 days to live, seven years after he was diagnosed with AIDS, meaning that he had survived on his own treatment.

His approach, combined with a small amount of AZT, has alleviated millions of AIDS cases.

The end of the movie is thought-provoking.

If "Gravity" is a great feat of human beings surviving in the vastness of space, then Ron Woodruff is a great feat of surviving under a terminal illness, then who is greater?

I don't know, and there's no way to compare.

The movie gives the audience some inspirational but heavy thinking, the plot is smooth, the characters are vivid, and the themes are profound.

Leonardo and Jared Leto and Jennifer Garner and other actors put on wonderful performances, especially Leonardo's performance with Jared Leto is really good.

After the movie, Leonardo's eyes were red, which was a rare time for him to be moved by his own interpretation, and he finally understood a sentence more profoundly: If even the actors themselves can't be moved in the performance, what do you talk about moving the audience?

The subtitles were together, the lights were on, and the audience applauded.

The fact that the Cinema Palace, which can seat thousands of people, was buzzed by the applause and cheers of the audience, which shows that the satisfaction of the audience is not polite, but comes from the hearts of many audiences.

And some film critics are also very entangled, many of the forms in the movie do not belong to the category of author's films, but they meet some of the requirements of the author's films, how to judge such a movie?

Should "Dallas Buyers Club" be considered a literary film? Or is it a commercial film? However, now that they have all been shortlisted for Venice, is there anything else to worry about? Obviously, the organizing committee judged it as a literary film.

Ten minutes after the audience applauded, the host, Eva Lokpono, walked onto the stage and gracefully picked up the microphone.

"Let's once again welcome the creators of The Dallas Buyers Club with a round of applause, welcome Jennifer Garner, welcome Jared Leto, welcome Leonardo DiCaprio and finally who ......"

Under the host's high-pitched introduction, the audience's applause rose higher and higher.

And He Fang and several people also applauded and walked onto the stage, and then stood in a row and continued to applaud the audience.

If this is replaced by an oriental crew, it will definitely bow, but Westerners will return it with applause.

After a little more drumming, the presenter, Eva Lokpono, pressed the gesture.

"OK, the audience applauded enthusiastically, the emotions were high, and you could see that they were very happy with the movie. So, Ho, can you talk about the ins and outs of this movie? Eva asked.

He Fang picked up the microphone at this time, "It was sometime last year, my producer Lao Du told me. He, there is a project that has been stranded for 20 years, are you interested? A project that has been stranded for twenty years came to me? I thought at the time, could this be picked around and no one wanted it in the end?

I refused at first, how could a director like me take on an unfinished project that had been stalled for twenty years, right? But after reading the script, I found that it was really fragrant, it was a good script, a good project. So, I asked my producer to buy the project. ”

"And then? How did you convince Leonardo? Eva asked.

"It's very simple, I said to Leonardo, 'Leonardo, you need an Oscar statuette, I have used facts to prove that I can help an actor win the best actor, so, join my project', so Leonardo heard that I could help him get a statuette, he didn't bother with the salary, he had to get it." But ......"

He Fang spoke like a story, very beautiful, everyone listened with great interest, Leonardo smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"I told Leonardo that the reason he didn't take the golden man was because you didn't sacrifice big enough. So, we need to lose some weight as a character. Leonardo said, 'Lose some weight, you should do it for the role actors', and I also said that you have to sacrifice a little hue to appear in some eye-catching scenes. He didn't care and said 'It's nothing, who doesn't know that I, Leonardo, am the most serious and open-minded in acting?' For the sake of the little golden man, it's not a problem'. ”

When He Fang said this, he raised his eyebrows at everyone, and the audience laughed.

"Ha, so, Leonardo, how did you feel when you knew you were going to be skinny as a paper man? How does it feel when you know that you have to perform with actresses in the film? Have you ever felt deceived? Eva asked Leonardo with interest.

What Leonardo can say, where is the story made, he can't dismantle his stage.

pouted, and said disdainfully: "Lose some weight, for the role, this is what an actor should do." Who doesn't know that I, Leonardo, am the most serious and open-minded in acting? For the sake of the little golden man, this is not a problem. ”

Ha ha...... The audience was happy, Leonardo just repeated what he said, but the comedic effect was full.

"Really?" Eva was a little unconvinced, and felt like it was bragging.

"Of course not, I'm just joking, everyone knows that Leonardo has a professional team, and he himself is also a very serious person, how can he make such a hasty decision. We went through many rounds of communication, and I was honest with him about what he was going to do in this role, and then his team also reached a cooperation after many analyses. "Where to take over the topic, jokes can be made, but the facts cannot be covered up.

Then the host and the audience nodded, yes, this should be the truth of the facts.

"He, the movie is aimed at AIDS, the American medical system, homosexuality, etc., is the opinion in the film your personal opinion, or the view of the script?" The moderator asked.

This question is very sharp and difficult to answer, if this is not the director's opinion, it means that the director's role in this movie is very weak.

If it is the director's opinion, then it means that the director is actually criticizing the United States.

"Most of it was written in the original script, and I just did a series of complex processing. Eighty years into the United States, I was only in elementary school in China, and I didn't feel it, so I couldn't express any opinions. And the writers, even Ron Woodruff, have their opinions, and some of the things in the film are just Ron's own statements. ”

Who must not rob the credit of the original work, what is his is his, with his current status, he does not need to rob others of the credit to whitewash himself, because doing so will be self-defeating, what should you do if others expose you? Then you are a complete hypocrite.

Therefore, he would rather make people feel that this movie lacks the director's thoughts, and he can't be a hypocrite.

"Then why don't you add your own opinion? As a director, shouldn't you express some personal thoughts? "This question from Eva is very good.

"It's a very complete and excellent story, and any addition will destroy the structure of the story and affect the quality of the story. In my opinion, the director can express himself at the right time, but this kind of non-expression cannot be expressed without destroying the quality of the story, it will only be because the director's selfishness will ruin the efforts of everyone in the crew. Of course, there are some films that are positioned as the director's personal expression from the beginning. It is clear that "Dallas Buyers Club" is not a film of personal expression by the director. ”

He Fang's answer made many of the filmmakers below shake their heads, they don't think so, how can you not have your own expression as a director?

"If you were given the opportunity to express yourself, what would you want to express?" Eva asked.

"Although I have studied and worked in the United States for eight years, I am not an American, and I am not qualified to criticize the good or bad policies of the United States. As a bystander, all I can say is that there are good and bad things to say, and the pros and cons need to be weighed by the American people themselves. "He is not going to talk about American politics in such a public setting, unless he wants to die.

Now there are a few Americans who are trying to find fault with him, and he still rams the muzzle of the gun, isn't that stupid.

"It seems that you have a different opinion, but because of your identity, you can't say it, it's a pity, we can't hear the truth from you." Eva laughed.

"You can ask something else." He Fang said.

"Then do you think Venice and Dallas Buyers Club can win the award this time?"

"It depends on the judges, and now everyone has watched the movie, and everyone has their own standards in their hearts. However, there are some things that everyone may agree on, such as the performance of the actors. No matter what different opinions people have on the theme of the movie or the way they express themselves, it is a fact that the actors' performances are really good. ”

He Fang's hint is very clear, which means that the judges can not give the film other awards, but you can't talk about the actors' performance awards if you don't give them.

When Leonardo heard this, he couldn't help but interject.

"Actually, we discussed this issue before we went to the festival, because there were several film festivals that asked us to participate in the award. Including Montreal, Toronto, San Sebastian, Locarno, Tokyo, etc., He Fang said that he had won an award in Venice, which was won at the Venice Film Festival, so when Venice sent an invitation, whether he won the award or not was something else, and he had to come to cheer. So, we all understand what he's doing. ”

Leonardo's words were very subtle, but those who understood him understood what he meant, meaning that he came to Venice to save face, but if you played with us, there would be no next time after that.

"Leonardo, you have such a big scale in the film, aren't you afraid to damage your image? How did you convince yourself? Eva avoided the issue of winning the award, and it would only be embarrassing for everyone to continue talking.

"Although what He said before was a joke, but it is also true, I am an actor, an actor who can give up himself for the role, and this sacrifice is really nothing. As long as the audience sees the movie and thinks, 'Wow, Leonardo played a good role,' I'm satisfied." Leonardo said.

"Did you have any difficulties with the performance?"

"Of course there is, in fact, everyone should see that there are a lot of Leonardo's characteristics missing in Ron's character. Ho did put a lot of demands on me in this regard, such as the frown when I expressed my emotions, such as my red face when I was out of control when I was acting, like an angry lion, and so on, all of which were absent in the character of Ron.

That's what asked me to change, he needed me to perform in a different way, and to make that transition, it's harder, harder than losing 50 pounds. But, I did, and I'm grateful to him. ”

Leonardo said this, and the audience burst into applause, which is indeed as Leonardo said that he did it.

"Jared, we see that your superb acting skills in the film are exactly like a woman. What I want to ask is...... How do you do that? Eva avoided the sensitivity of asking if he was gay, and only asked him how he did it.

"I know what people are trying to ask, it's not that I'm afraid to admit it, it's that I'm not gay. If I were, I would be bold enough to admit it. As for how you asked me how I performed this state, it was because of imitation and practice.

As you know, characters like me rarely have the opportunity to work with a big director and actor like He and Leonardo in Hollywood, and if we can't show absolutely good side, such a good opportunity will be wasted.

So, when I learned that the great director He invited me to play a role, I almost went crazy, so I studied day and night. Fortunately, the effect is not bad, at least the director approves of it. ”

Jared Leto said with a shrug.

"He, what do you think of Jared?" Eva in turn asked where it was.

"I told Leonardo on the set that if he didn't give 200 percent, it was very likely that he would make a wedding dress for Jared, and the little gold man would be taken away by Jared. His performance is in a way more than a supporting role, which is very good, and I hope to continue to work with him in the future if I have the opportunity. ”

He is not stingy with praise.
