The film is based on the real life of Ron Woodroof, a patient of HIV and AIDS, who was the subject of a lengthy 1992 article in The Dallas Morning News written by journalist and author Bill Minutaglio. A month before Woodroof died in September 1992, screenwriter Craig Borten was told about the story by his friend, so he went and interviewed him to create the screenplay; Borten recorded many hours of interviews with Woodroof and had access to his personal journals. Borten wrote a script for what he believed would make a great movie and attempted to attract interest in making the film in mid 1996, with Dennis Hopper attached to direct. Columbia Pictures was set to buy the script but the film was unable to secure financial backing.

Background
The film "Dallas Buyers Club" is based on the true story of Ron Woodroof, a Texas electrician and rodeo cowboy who was diagnosed with AIDS in the mid-1980s. At the time, the disease was poorly understood, and treatment options were limited.Ron Woodroof's Journey
After being diagnosed, Ron Woodroof was given only 30 days to live. Frustrated with the lack of effective treatment options in the United States, he began researching alternative therapies. He discovered that certain drugs not approved by the FDA were being used successfully in other countries to treat AIDS.The Dallas Buyers Club
In response to the lack of available treatments, Woodroof established the "Dallas Buyers Club," a cooperative that provided AIDS patients with access to these alternative medications. The club operated in a legal gray area, as it imported unapproved drugs from abroad and distributed them to its members.Impact and Legacy
The Dallas Buyers Club became a lifeline for many AIDS patients who were desperate for treatment options. It also highlighted the need for more compassionate and effective responses to the AIDS crisis, eventually contributing to changes in how the disease was treated and perceived.Accuracy of the Film
- Character Portrayal: The film takes some creative liberties with the character of Ron Woodroof, portraying him as initially homophobic, which some sources suggest may have been exaggerated for dramatic effect.
- Supporting Characters: The character of Rayon, played by Jared Leto, is fictional but serves to highlight the diverse community affected by AIDS.
- Events: While the core story of the Dallas Buyers Club is true, certain events and timelines were altered for narrative purposes.
Overall, while the film takes some artistic liberties, it remains a powerful depiction of Ron Woodroof's fight against the system and his efforts to help others in a time of crisis.

Silent movie. When a film starts with a sex scene, that’s a bad sign for me. Neither McConaughey’s character nor Leto evoked any sympathy or empathy in me. The acting is certainly top notch, the story is not bad, but not my thing Translated to English
Another story about the fight against AIDS that left me completely indifferent, interesting at least for the subtle male acting and Matthew’s killer weight loss. A tick on the list of Oscar-winning films watched and nothing more. Translated to English
Somehow this movie didn’t grab my attention. Only the transformation of the actors aroused interest. Translated to English
Great movie, so many different emotions, and McConaughey and Leto are absolutely something (amazing acting) Translated to English
I’m not a fan of such films, and this one didn’t make me that way. But Jerad Leto and the plot itself were able to hold on until the very end. Translated to English
The story of the illegal fight against AIDS. How things were when HIV first appeared and what it did to people’s lives. All this is based on the example of a man who refused to give up and found ways to help not only himself, but also others. Based on real events. Curious, but hard. Translated to English
A good, but sad film in its own way, with acting performances by McConaughey and Leto and a good story about the fight against the system. Translated to English
Of the minuses: the script is boring, by the end of the film it makes you sleepy, and as for me, the transgender character is superfluous and he could have been replaced in the 21st century, they would also call him a transphobe) Not everyone will like the film, there are a lot of disgusting moments. I have mixed feelings. 8for Matthew and originality Translated to English
McConaughey played very cool and was able to connect us to the hero. We see how an electrician cowboy and junkie who has sex with girls indiscriminately despite an incurable illness does not give up and becomes a successful businessman by changing his priorities. Translated to English
I’ve been wanting to take a look for a long time! Good acting makes up for the not-so-interesting and dynamic plot, but for that reason the film is worth seeing. A worthy pastime, but not exactly a super masterpiece to the core IMHO. The slow pace of the story let me down, okay? Translated to English
It’s boring and cliched, but: the acting is good, the plot about AIDS patients and pharmaceutical companies profiting from the sale of drugs for incurable diseases is relevant, and there are also several charismatic characters and successful artistic decisions. Translated to English
A film adaptation of the life of AIDS-stricken smuggler R. Woodruff, who founded a club where they clandestinely sold vitamins banned by the FDA. A controversial figure, on the one hand he profited from seriously ill people, on the other hand he firmly believed in the power of his drugs and tried to help. D. Leto is incomparable Translated to English
A true story, two Oscars for the amazing performances of Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto, a dramatic plot and… a budget of only a million, that’s how you can make great films. Translated to English
