Nowy Jork, początek lat osiemdziesiątych. W mediach coraz częściej pojawiają się informacje na temat tajemniczego wirusa, który sieje spustoszenie wśród społeczności LGBT. W gronie aktywistów działających na rzecz zwalczania wirusa, nazwanego przez naukowców HIV, szczególne miejsce zajmuje pisarz Ned Weeks (Mark Ruffalo). Jego celem jest nie tylko zwiększenie świadomości na temat choroby, ale przede wszystkim zmiana postrzegania zarażonych nią osób. Działania Weeksa wzbudzają kontrowersje i prowadzą do konfliktu z rodziną i przyjaciółmi. Ten ważny i poruszający film to ekranizacja napisanej w 1985 roku sztuki Larry’ego Kramera, która była jednym z pierwszych artystycznych głosów na temat AIDS. (HBO)

In the first half, it’s a very raw drama about the occurrence of AIDS in a seemingly advanced culture that has a problem accepting the issue, much less solving it. At times, the first half gets very sexually explicit. On the other hand, the second half brings out a whole range of theatrical acting performances that make it apparent that this is a play turned into a movie. In this regard, it’s worth mentioning Mark Ruffalo and especially Julia Roberts who has surprised me with her character; I almost didn’t recognize her. Overall, it’s a fascinating drama, especially because it’s interesting that something like this was even happening in the 1980s.

Life wasn't easy in the gay community in the first half of the 1980s. However, Ryan Murphy's HBO drama does not try to play on feelings and plead for gay rights; on the contrary, it quite naturally depicts the mood of the time, the atmosphere and the feelings of those who were there during the first deaths from the new HIV virus. The large number of characters and the length of over two hours is slightly detrimental, but the stellar cast, led by Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts and Alfred Molina, makes up for it. One of the homosexuals is even played by Jim Parson (Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory).

The Normal Heart is an ambitious TV movie, whose pillars of success lie in a very good cast and, above all, in a thorny subject. It's really interesting to see what things were like in the LGBT community in the early 1980s when the unstoppable evil of AIDS came to light. Everyone dealt with the issue in their own way back then - some tried to deal with it early on, others ignored the threat until their horrific deaths or simply stood idly by. The film covers quite an extensive period and gives a fairly authentic account of what was going on at the time. In the context of TV movies, it is definitely an above-average piece that deserves audience attention and critical acclaim. A truly evocative trip into a period of one of the greatest milestones of medicine but also of humanity itself, offering dense material for reflection.
