And The Band
Played On (世纪的哭泣)
This true-life drama is a movie detailing the emergence of AIDS in America and the fight against bureaucracy and society for a cure. Matthew Modine (Birdy, Married to the Mob) is featured as a doctor with the Centers for Disease Control at the time when the first reports of a disease plaguing the gay community were heard. Modine and his colleagues embark on an investigation that resembles a compelling detective story as they try to track the source of the disease and discover a cure. Their efforts are thwarted by an ambivalent government and a turf war between French physicians and a celebrated American researcher (Alan Alda) who seems to place his own glory above the dead and the dying. Featuring heartfelt performances from a stellar cast including Richard Gere, Glenne Headly, Anjelica Huston, Steve Martin, Ian McKellen, Saul Rubinek, and Lily Tomlin, this impassioned film stands as an impressive and important document of one of the darkest eras in modern human history, and a tribute to the spirit of those who sought to save lives.
这是部根据真实生活拍摄的戏剧电影,该片详细介绍了艾滋病在美国的出现,以及为了治愈它而对官僚主义和社会进行的抗击。马修·摩丁(曾出演“鸟人”、“嫁入黑帮”)出演疾病预防控制中心的一名医生,那时大家刚第一次听说有一种疾病正困扰着同性恋团体。摩丁和他的同事们开始着手进行调查,在他们试图跟踪并找到这种疾病的源头并找到治疗方法时,这种调查就像一个扣人心弦的侦探故事。由于政府态度暧昧,再加上法国医生与一个似乎把自己的荣耀凌驾于死者和垂死人们之上的著名美国研究员(艾伦·阿尔达)之间的地盘争夺战,他们的努力遭到挫败。Richard Gere, Glenne Headly, Anjelica Huston, Steve Martin, Ian McKellen, Saul Rubinek和Lily Tomlin等一流演员在该片中倾情出演。这部充满激情的影片是人类现代史最黑暗时期之一的一部深入人心的重要文献,是对那些寻求拯救生命人们的精神的致敬。
