Pedro

I bought it based on the review. I was disappointed I have to say. The acting is good but again, it is a story that was already done over and over about someone who is HIV+ and how suddenly he will fight for his dreams, love and pass the message accross.

I've been putting off watching this for quite awhile fearing the worst of reality TV, sensationalism and a manipulatively depressing story. Not to worry. It is worth the watch and not that sad. We know Pedro dies in the end, but everyone does. He apparently used the time he had to make a positive, joyful difference in many people's lives.

The DVD extra's show three episodes of the original reality show which demonstrates how accurate the story is and how good the acting & directing is. Congratulations to everyone involved!

OMG amazing movie! so sad, a must watch. I dont think I've ever cried so much. I think this should be one of those movies that are MANdatory in high schools. I made choices like Pedro when I was young fortunately for me I am still here to live life. After seeing this movie it makes me so sad but so glad that his message will be heard! I am going to buy this movie! I only wish he was still here and cured. My life has been nothing special so far. I too am gay and search for a purpose in life. ok and someone special like Pedro met. His story is sooooo strong and I only hope that others will watch this movie and share the story. I feel like I've gained a purpose I want to live my life in place of the one that Pedro wasn't able to. I pray that one day we are all free from diseases, oppression, and racism. If this story is true to the most accurate detail I see this story like the story of Jesus. I know many people will be mad I said that but don't speak till you've seen the movie. Jesus died so that we may all live and some how I feel that Pedro did this. I know there has been millions before him that died in silence and nameless. My grandmother was taken by cancer and for me this story was liberating. I strive to be stronger and live out my dreams and help those less fortunate. God so much feeling and tears for a movie. Well done to all of you who made this possible and to those of you who weren't. Open your hearts and listen to his story. It will change your life and hopefully open your mind and hearts to those around you. I want to write more cause there is so much i have to say but I don't want to discourage people by the length. My father is so closed minded to people who are different. He thinks that AIDS was created by the government to get rid of homos and that those who get this disease disserve it. In no way do I think someone could ever disserve to suffer a disease like this or cancer (ok there are extremes like murderers, but that's gods choice not ours). God help those involved if that is true. Anyways reach out to those down and let them know you care. May there soon be an end to all suffering and let there be peace.
