I agreed with one of the other comments -- self indulgent. Poor little Trevor, he has boyfriend problems, and that is bigger issue than his friend testing positive. Yea, choose between boyfriend trouble vs. HIV . . . hmmmm, which would you choose?
I look for the life lessons, the real knowledge that helps us gain some understanding of the big picture, what is important in life. And he got it completely backwards. His friends and the LA life were so superficial and his job was nowhere, none of his friends knew what a relationship looked like and his own was with an addict. Finally, he finds a good relationship, someone he loves, who loves him back . . . and rather than moving forward and facing a new life, he recoils back into the empty existence he was living. But at the end was justifying or rationalizing his fear of living by calling it brave and forward-looking. Say what!? It had the look and feel of a real movie -- but had nothing to teach about real living.
I think the life lesson is moving forward, elevating your life, working through your fears and from a better place you are better able to help your old friends. Not by staying in the same old swamp.
