I'm not Dionysus and Dallas Buyers Club. I was called the domestic version of Dallas Buyers Club by netizens, so the plots of these two films are different, but the themes are similar, which is also a rare medical theme in China.
Xu Zongheng's new film Dying focuses on another disease-leukemia. The prototype of the hero of this story is Lu Yong, a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu. He is a leukemia patient and an entrepreneur. He was once called "drug god" by many leukemia patients. In 2002, he was diagnosed with leukemia. In order to struggle to recover, he began a long road to find medicine. For myself, but also to help patients. Lu Yong, who always thought he was doing good, was taken away by the police on suspicion of selling "fake drugs" on 20 14. After that, more than a thousand leukemia patients signed a plea agreement for Lu Yong, and finally the court "dropped the case". Lu Yong was relieved of his sentence.
Compared with previous works, Medicine God focuses on a special field-medicine, specifically, patients' corpses and "procurement". According to the information reported on the Internet, the film is also based on a true story, which tells the phenomenon of drug "purchasing" in India and the hidden story of heartache. It is regarded as the domestic version of "Dallas Buyers Club".
Dallas Buyers Club is adapted from a real event in 1980s. Ron waldorf, the protagonist in the film, was originally a traditional blue-collar worker in Texas, but he finally got AIDS because of his dissolute personal life, sex, drugs and alcoholism. Matthew McConaughey, a former Hollywood star, played the role in this film. Matthew McConaughey has frequently played strange roles in recent years, and his ambition and urgency to transform powerful factions are well known. This time, he tried his best to participate in the Dallas Buyers Club. In order to look like the protagonist, he did not hesitate to self-destruct, lost 38 pounds and made himself morbidly thin. Fortunately, the efforts were not in vain. His "skinny" figure and relaxed manner in the film make him both in form and spirit. The film appeared after various film festivals, and media opinion has pushed him to the hot list of best actor in the Oscar. In the end, he won an Oscar.
Dallas Buyers Club's story is about "Dallas Buyers Club", which should be familiar to many people. It's really a rare good movie. This is based on the real experience of Ron woodruff.
Ron Woodruff (1950- 1992) founded "Dallas Buyers Club" in 1988, and Ron's experience in the last few years of his life became the basis for the emergence of Dallas Buyers Club.
This paper mainly tells the story of Ron's struggle with the disease and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after being diagnosed with HIV, which is intertwined with the complicated relationship among patients, pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical institutions and management departments.
In the hospital, the doctor told Ron that they were testing AZT, and it was the only drug approved by the FDA for testing. Unfortunately, he could not get this drug through formal channels. In order to save himself, he ran to a temporary hospital in Mexico, originally to get more AZT. But doctors there told him that AZT was "toxic" and "it killed every cell it touched". On the contrary, doctors prescribed a set of drugs and nutritional supplements centered on DDC and peptide T (peptide T), but these peptide T have not been approved in the United States.
Later, Ron disguised himself as a priest, doctor, expert, etc. And travel around the world looking for alternative drugs, claiming to be private use. Since its establishment, the club has been highly praised by patients all over the world, and the number of members and the demand for drugs have increased greatly, which has also attracted the attention of FDA and pharmaceutical manufacturers and blocked them in many ways.
Matthew McConaughey, who is also the protagonist of Interstellar, really can't tell him without looking carefully.
So in 1987, the FDA changed the regulations, and any unapproved drug is illegal. In the same year, he filed a lawsuit with the FDA to seek the legal right of "self-help". Although the judge sympathized with him and gave advice to the FDA, he was "powerless".
According to the text at the end of the film, the FDA later allowed Ron to take peptide T for personal treatment. Ron finally died in September 1992. He lived for seven years from the day when he was diagnosed only 30 days to his death. In these 2557 days, he has been fighting against diseases, FDA and pharmaceutical manufacturers unremittingly. .......
