This film hit me really hard, in a very good way. So many important topics are addressed, most especially coping strategies and the amazing human spirit. Some people freeze, some flee, and some fight. The characters in Dallas Buyers Club belong to that last group, any what tremendous performances. How would you respond if you were told you only had 30 days left to live? What would you do? Survival is only part of the equation

I love that this film shows how people can defy odds, strive to help others through education and awareness, and leave the world knowing they did something for the betterment of all.
