Alle Gerüchte, die du gehört hast, sind wahr – und genau das ist gut soWarum wir an unfertige Anfänge glauben – und was Matthew McConaughey damit zu tun hat. In dieser Folge wird's persönlich. Und ehrlich. Denn wir räumen auf mit ein paar hartnäckigen Gerüchten über die Theaterakademie Köln:
The Back To The Blockbuster teams is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dallas Buyers Club, the film that details the real life story of Ron Woodroof, a cowboy diagnosed with AIDS in the mid-1980s, a time when both etiology and the treatment of HIV/AIDS are poorly understood and its sufferers subject to stigmatization. Written by Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack and directed by Jean-Marc Valle, the story continues with Woodroff smuggling unapproved pharmaceutical drugs into Texas to treat his symptoms. Here, he distributes them to fellow people with AIDS by establishing the “Dallas Buyers Club”, all the while facing opposition from the FDA. The film stars Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto, and Jennifer Garner. In addition to the 10 year anniversary of this acclaimed film, the team also breaks down trailers for Anyone But You, Madame Web, and Imaginary, while also discussing the news about a new Bourne being the works from director Edward Berger and Nicholas Hoult being cast as Lex Luthor in Superman: Legacy. The duo also talks box office and gives their predictions for Ridley Scott's Napoleon.

He is one of Hollywood's most sought after leading men, who launched his career in the cult classic Dazed and Confused and has since then has won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Ron Woodroof in Dallas Buyers Club and appeared in over 40 feature films. Today, Matthew joins Larry and discusses the role of being a father and what it means to be a parent. Matthew also talked about the importance of bringing loved ones together to create new relationships and form a community. He also emphasized the idea that a father's job does not stop with conceiving the baby, but continues afterwards Family is an integral part of our lives and often serves as a source of strength and support when we are faced with difficult decisions. Family is truly everything and it is this kind of unconditional love and support that allows fathers to be their best selves. When a father is called to pursue a certain path, no matter how difficult, his family is often the first to stand by him and support him. This is exemplified by Matthew McConaughey's experience in his film “Time to Kill”, where his family encouraged him to carry on despite the danger. Ultimately, it is this kind of support that allows fathers to pursue their calling and make a positive impact on the world. www.thedadedge.com/416 thedadedge.com/alliance Greenlights by Matthew Mcconaughey

A comma is used to join independent clauses (among other things). A period is used to end a sentence.

This week on On Story we'll hear from screenwriter Craig Borten on writing the 2013 film Dallas Buyers Club which starred Matthew McConaughey. Borten is best known for his Oscar-nominated script for the 2013 film Dallas Buyers Club. After hearing about Ron Woodroof, the original founder of the "Dallas Buyers Club" for the distribution of unapproved HIV medications, in the early 1990s, and interviewing Woodroof in 1992, Borten decided to write a screenplay about Woodroof and his buyer's club. He successfully sold the script in 1996, but shortly afterward the production company that had bought it dissolved. In 2001, he rewrote the script with Melisa Wallack and in 2009, Borten and Wallack were able to cast Matthew McConaughey and secure funding for the film's production. The film was released in 2013, more than two decades after Borten met Woodroof, and more than 15 years after selling his first version of the script. Dallas Buyers Club received numerous accolades, including Academy Award nominations for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay. Moderator Fred Strype spoke with Borten at the Austin Film Festival.

StoryShots Audiobook Summary and Analysis of Greenlights by Matthew McConaugheyAbout Matthew McConaugheyMatthew McConaughey is an American actor and producer from Texas. He was sprung into the limelight in his mid-20s during his breakout supporting performance in Dazed and Confused (1993). Since then, he has had a career of almost 30 years, starring in some of the biggest movies. McConaughey won an Oscar in 2013 for his portrayal in Dallas Buyers Club of Ron Woodroof, a cowboy diagnosed with AIDS. The following year, he was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor for his starring role in True Detective. IntroductionGreenlights is a collection of Mathew McConaughey's journals from the past 36 years. He had put off delving into these journals for many years but he decided it was finally time to take himself and the journals to a desert with no electricity. Here is where he wrote Greenlights, which he calls an ‘approach book.' By re-reading the thousands of pages held in these journals, McConaughey relived the core values that brought him success and happiness. Greenlights is filled with people and experiences and is described by McConaughey as an aspirational book. The Making of GreenlightsMcConaughey has been writing a journal for a total of 36 years. Greenlights offered him an opportunity to read back through these journals and recall the fantastic adventures he has had along the way. Additionally, McConaughey wanted to be entirely focused on this memoir. So, he spent part of his writing period in the middle of the desert with no electricity. Specifically, he spent 12 days without electricity and another 40 in the desert with a small generator. NOTE: This episode was first published in January 2021 but was updated in January 2022.

Ron Woodroof, um eletricista heterossexual de Dallas, foi diagnosticado com AIDS em 1986, durante uma das épocas mais obscuras da doença. Embora os médicos tenham lhe dado apenas alguns meses de vida, Woodroof se recusou a aceitar o prognóstico e, procurando tratamentos alternativos, ele passa a contrabandear drogas ilegais do México.
Cet épisode sera consacré au film Dallas Buyers Club, réalisé parJean-Marc Vallée en 2013 qui s'inspire de la véritable histoire de Ron Woodroof, créateur du Dallas Buyers Club, qui permettra aux séropositifs américains de se fournir en médicaments antiviraux étrangers. Face au corps de Ron que l'on voit s'amaigrir, mourir à petit feu, on voit son esprit, au départ hostile à la communauté LGBT, connaitre une certaine renaissance. Un portrait qui fait preuve d'humanité et qui nous parlera toujours, même des décennies après le début des ravages.

It's hard not to be inspired by the many shapeshifting transitions of the Academy-Award winning actor Matthew McConaughey. From rom-com star to critically acclaimed actor to now bestselling author & mystical Cowboy Poet. McConaughey has never been satisfied with being lumped into just one box. Just look at his rollercoaster of a career. From Cooper in the sci-fi masterpiece Interstellar to Ron Woodroof fighting for his life in Dallas buyers club or even the spellbinding cameo of Mark Hanna, who stole our attention in The Wolf of Wall Street. We have followed McConaughey on screen for decades; little did we know that he was living another life off-screen. Finding answers to some of lives deepest quandaries. McConaughey is a restless soul; if you've read his book Greenlights, in which he spent 52 days alone without electricity in the desert to write it, you will see he describes his torment viscerally in finding grace and answers underneath the gorging vapidness of Hollywood. I came out of this interview asking myself this question: Can being existential and ego-driven mutually exist in La La Land? That is something we both explore in this hour-long in-depth discussion. With so much unhealthy scrutiny around celebrities these days, it's hard to find someone so visible that can open up their hearts and without fear of reprimand. But he does here. He refuses to live in hiding, or as he says insulated, rather living his best self and learning at the same time. At 51, firm rumours are now swirling around that McConaughey will run for the Governor of Texas, using his life experience to solve what he sees as a serious trust crisis. This is one discussion where journies are invited and unpacked; from his tempestuous childhood to his thoughts on the destructiveness of fame, McConaughey challenges us all to do the work and live by our best selves. Whatever your opinion of Mcahignnhey, you cannot argue with that. This is a chat that goes to many places; predictable isn't one of them.

This is a different kind of case for us, we really enjoyed taking a look at Ron Woodroof, the AIDS crisis, and how people advocate for themselves. Give it a listen!
Heute begleiten wir Matthew McConaughey wie er als Ron Woodroof illegal Medikamente unter die Leute bringt um sich und anderen HIV erkrankten Hoffnung und ein längeres eben zu geben. Seine Organisation heißt Dallas Buyers Club und so heißt auch der Film.
Welcome to a totally COVID kind of Feature & a short. Fourwind Films has decided to dedicate a podcast to talking about the best of the contagion films seen by our accountant Laura Davi, and your host, Justin Joseph Hall who has been called a movie encyclopedia. We redirect our documenting of our small film events to bring you our second film list episode! The definition of an epidemic an outbreak of a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects an exceptionally high proportion of the population. We are doing this episode because our lives have been stagnant and we’re looking for ways to cope. Films are a quick way for humans to process other people’s minds. So what will this list do for you? If you watch these films, you may help understand the conditions of contagions in society through the medium of film. These are the films we think are the best at communicating what life might be like during the time of a contagion. First we discuss the BEST SHORT and FEATURE FILMS since STAY AT HOME ORDERS March 22nd in New York Tusalava This animation film appears all over YouTube. A great few minutes to take a step back and reflect. The Shawshank Redemption Frank Darabont watched Goodfellas (1990) every Sunday while shooting this film and drew inspiration from it, on using voice-over narration and showing the passage of time. Place Beyond the Pines Compelling two part story about family and mystery with hunky lead actors, Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling. Portrait of a Lady on Fire We loved this film so much we actually watched another film from Céline Sciamma’s earlier work as she’s been making films over the past two decades. The real similarities I noted in her style is her use of music. The absence of a score until the music is so utterly embedded in the moment or feeling of the film. The silence let’s the music drive emotion more when it is present and Céline has mastered this art in Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Also, best title ever. BEST CONTAGION FILMS - Movies that teach us about possible scenarios of human spread contagion Fast Spreading Contagion Films list Philadelphia TriStar the studio actually felt there was a need for this film, not so much about the disease, but to have Jonathan Demme have a homosexual main character was essential in the director and studio’s eyes. Dallas Buyers Club This is one of those “based on a true story” that isn’t quite accurate but is more of a conglomeration to express the mood of the times. Based off of the man Ron Woodroof, but the film budget was incredibly low and they shot the film on twenty-five shoot days. High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell Everyone knows the crack epidemic. Wordlwide 585,000 people died as a result of drug use in 2017. COVID-19 is 232,180 at the moment. This story is visceral, not only is my favorite film by Episode 21 guest, Jon Alpert who was a producer and cinematographer on the film. Jon and the team with Downtown Community Television captured Christian Bale’s character Dicky Eklund. It’s only an hour and packs an unbelieveable wallop Thriller The death count of zombies is unknown and presumed to be zero. But this metaphor for disease and/or stupidity is a favorite in the film genres. This film is my short, very closely followed by One Cut of the Dead that Thomas introduced me to in our 2010’s Fresh Air Award Episode. Director of Blue’s Brother’s SNL spinoffs, John Landis spent half-a-million dollars in the 1980’s making this 13 minute film. Requiem for a Dream Based on a book written by Hubert Selby, Jr. in 1978. Greeks, Egyptians, Sumarians, Chinese, Americans, Germans all have encountered this seemingly endless contagion in our society. Darren Aronovsfy makes this disease live through music and compression of time. He orchestrates everything you may notice in drug use, especially heroin use.

Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective
We bring on Doc Anarchy to discuss one of the most libertarian films in recent memory, the Dallas Buyers Club starring Matthew McConaughey as Ron Woodroof - a rodeo cowboy who contracts HIV in the early days of the spread of AIDS. There is a lot to unpack in this movie and we found ourselves cheering for Ron as he battled the government that was preventing him from helping himself and helping others by establishing a market for drugs and remedies of their own choosing.

Ron Woodroof is a hustlin', hard-living cowboy in 1985. Rock Hudson was recently diagnosed with a new killer disease called HIV and he is the subject of Woodroof's mocking, homophobic vitriol. But it's not long before the frighteningly gaunt Woodroof receives the same diagnosis. Frustrated by the lack of adequate medication for his condition, the afflicted electrician travels to Mexico and finds there is a wealth of remedies just south of the border. Welcome to the Dallas Buyers Club. Matthew McConaughey undergoes the kind of physical transformation that the Academy loves to reward, but he has the acting chops to back it up, too. His portrayal of the emotional, belligerent Woodroof will surely win him the Oscar. Some may doubt that fact, but nearly everyone agrees that Jared Leto is taking home the gold statuette for his magnetic supporting performance as Rayon, a dying transvestite with whom Woodroof strikes a complicated business partnership. Two stunning acting turns in a solidly directed film make "Dallas Buyers Club" a favorite of 2013.
