It's AIDS? (maybe Spoiler)


I don't know, but the first thing came into my mind after see Tommy look like in Mexico, absolutely it's AIDS.
However, there is no word "AIDS" come out in whole movie, just word "sick". But, there is one strong prove, in the middle of the trip, when Allan want to kiss Tommy in mouth, instead Tommy avoid it and give a kiss to Allan's forehead.
What do you think?

It's definitely AIDS. The extra features on the DVD release have cast and crew commentary, they make it clear that Tommy has AIDS. They also talk about the kiss on the forehead and you're right.

All right then... Thanks for the further information...



Perfectness is just fantasy for people who feel sorry to themselves...

If you're a fan of the film the extra features on the DVD are worth seeing. I really like the film but think it has a couple of flaws -- some of my questions were cleared up by the commentary and the deleted scenes.

I like this movie and it'll be perfect with extra features.
I'd like to purchase it someday. Where can I find it? Amazon?

I got it on Amazon about a week or so ago. It's also available on the distributor's website, TLA Video.

At the time I hate that film because I watched some films with dead, like Undertow and others...

Yes!
I cried so hard and couldn't watched another movie just thinking about that.
Same as Brokeback Mountain (2005), Plata quemada (2000), Borstal Boy (2000) & Philadelphia (1993).

Btw, while ago I create a poll about "Favorite Gay Male Couple in a Movie", http://www.imdb.com/poll/ASlMy4GOWGY/?ref_=po_ho. Maybe you would be interesting to give a vote and share to other friends. Thanks

I agree SpideyGuy; I'm not a huge fan of "Brokeback Mountain."

Brokeback Mountain makes us look unfaithful and liars? That was a completely different time. I don't take this stuff personally when society helps married couples stay together with everything under the sun (church approval, Mother & Father's day, baby showers, anniversary celebrations, Valentine's day, All kinds of financial incentives - tax credits for being married, exemptions for children) Not that I begrudge them any of this. But considering society until very recently not only did NONE of this for Gay people, but actively inhibited our relationships........well, you get the point I'm sure. No harshness intended, just trying to be clear.
