The Normal Heart is a very powerful, emotional and devastating film that tells the story of activist Ned Weeks, a homosexual who fights for the health rights of the Gay community during the 80s, when the HIV-AIDS virus appeared in large mass destroying immense lives.
Ryan Murphy, the well known writer, director and producer of film and television, (best known for having created and written series such as American Horror Story, Nip/Tuck and Glee) is responsible for this work. The film can definitely be emotional, messing with our emotions thanks to the great performances. However the film has some problems, not being too conclusive about a few points. The issue of health care is not very explored as well as the growth and evolution of the association "Gay Men's Health Crisis".
Mark Ruffalo, an actor who I admire for some time, gives the performance of his life devoting himself completely to a very courageous role with all his heart and soul! It's a pleasure to see when an actor is able to exceed beyond what we are already expected of him. I think he has always been a very underrated actor and seeing him here gave me a certain pride because once again he proved me that he is able to touch us with a great performance. Matt Bomer, Alfred Molina, Julia Roberts, Taylor Kitsch and other supporting roles in the film were also very good. The only one I was unable to connect with was Jim Parsons character. Sorry but the guy annoys me a little.
Most of all, The Normal Heart is a beautiful film that pays tribute to all those who have already passed away because of the HIV virus, also showing the big problem that society has discriminated anyone who is different. We are all human beings, we are all equal, we all have the same rights.
Superb is the right adjective.
It was so much more than I was expecting, f*ing great, Mark Rufallo was really really awesome. Totally Ninja. I cried like a baby.
Great movie. Mark really manages to show the frustration that arose in the community when they started dying. This story is a kind that makes you see how we are flawed as people but we don't wanna admit it assuming "the next guy is worse because...."
Great life lessons... Did not like the ending, however, incredible cast!
I found myself crying at 1am... so touching
Terrible! Not a good thing to watch, waste of time...
Heartbreaking en varios niveles, brutal la interpretación de todos!
Julia & Matt deserve all of the Emmys!
if julia roberts doesn't win an emmy no one else will
