The best part was that it is a film about "AIDS". But the not-so-good parts of it are that it was not well made. too ambitious in trying to educate the audience, and many opportunities missed. The worst part of it is that it tried to squeezed in "all the modes" of transmission (which was unwise but OK) and flashed back time and again the least possible (and yet most innocent for a 'clean role model' star actor of the film) mode of transmission through coming into contact of the blood of an infected friend with a wound on his arm in a fight. At least people who watched the film would be more careful in the fights and brawls. However they would also be more reluctant to care injured people. As portrayed in the movie, sexual transmission was an exotic chance and not significant if you're not a sinner who are very different from the general public. But, maybe fortunately, as the movie gave away its genre being "educational" and the audience are so used to shutting their receptors down.
