The movie HOLDING THE MAN had literally come out at my library that day, and after it hadn't moved on the wall I checked it out, thinking this was great luck! I guess the hardest thing is having so much love for you and it somehow not being returned. It starts of somewhat piecemeal and every time you start to get into what you think is "the story" it is a disjointed fragment leading nowhere, simply I guess building up the picture that Tim really is gay, and also that all around him are temptations, that a lot of males who are "not gay" like to experiment with gay sex. I showed it to him and he said 'This isn't going to be a sad movie, is it? As we always do, we hung out on my couch eating Chinese take out, drinking wine, playing zombie video games, and watching a GLBT movie.
Tim and John fell in love while teenagers at their all-boys high school. Sadly, in the Autumn of 1991, John begins to rapidly deteriorate, suffering from lymphoma. And when they are forced to deal with death and life without each other, one can see the true depth of the love they share. That said, I found it interesting that Nickolas Bird, the director of ‘Remembering the Man’ suggested that “a lot of people didn’t get along with Tim Conigrave. I have to admit, though, I came away with a sense that Tim is a bit of an unreliable narrator.
Beautiful, beautiful story of two very courageous men.I had never heard of this book or of Tim Conigrave before having a random browse of the Popular Penguins in my local book store. Tim is selfish and hurtful at times.
It took me so long to finish this book because it was so emotional and honest I had to stop. by Tommy Murphy (adaptation) Descriptions:

The misery of HIV/AIDS is laid bare before the reader, with Conigrave sparing nothing in detailing the cruel progression of the disease. Postępująca choroba jednego z nich wystawia ich relację na trudną próbę. I won't surmise John and Tim's story here - in their memory please read this book.This reminded me of why and how I have become who I am and who I will continue to be. It's his eyelashes.
Holding the Man recreates that relationship.
I would have stayed there for the rest of my life, but I was suddenly worried about freaking him out and I pulled away. The two form a friendship, and at the suggestion of Pepe, one of Tim's female friends, John is invited to a dinner party at Tim's house.

You are a hole in my life, a black hole. Timothy Conigrave Holding the Man. Anything I place there cannot be returned. He shut his eyes and pursed his lips. But together they complete each other in a way no-one else did. But I kept sneaking looks. It was a very nice story and an entertaining read, but I couldn't get over how much I disliked Tim.

He was beautiful, calm.
