DALLAS BUYERS CLUB: Making Rayon Real - Jared Leto

[@Finch1412]

He was incredible in this movie. 100% deserved his oscar

[@sshowgirl933]

jared is great

[@jonicompton333]

He was awesome in this role!! He definitely deserved the award!! 👍👍👍

[@IWantToMature85]

People hate that he had that role now.

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

They both were great in this very important film. When Ron sues to FDA in court over the peptide-T usage as being non toxic and the judge sides with him, as well as calls out the FDA for it's bullying tactics, it was a truly awesome moment even though the judge admits he cannot do anything. They even applaud Ron when he returns. He later succeeds and lived more than 7 years past the time he was originally given in his prognosis.

[@jamesradski9082]

Man when rayon and ron hug what a tear jerker, at that point its not about gay or straight its about being human/with a illness that does not discriminate.

[@eXtrateresT]

i have NEVER EVER seen an actor speak with more love about a character he plays than Jared...his eyes sparkle when he talks about Rayon. That's an actor ladies and gentleman!!

[@MrZariwan]

nice comment! i was thinking the same!

[@Ninaofthe90s]

best performance i've seen in a long time. The soft movements, the voice, the look.... I believed him in every second and totally forgot about "jared leto". It was the performance of a lifetime. And I think even as a woman he looked absolutely beautiful. (no surprise here!) :) I'm very proud of you, Jared.

Both Jared and Matthew were phenomenal in this film, but Jared's performance made me so emotional and I felt so much empathy for the character of Rayon. Both Oscars were well deserved.

[@kristoffbjorgman3017]

I just watched this movie and Jared Leto absolutely blew me away. His character was loving, funny, and was the perfect match for Matthew McConaughey's character because they were total opposites. Half the time I forgot it was even Jared Leto playing the character. And I absolutely love how he defends his performance and character against people who think it's "wrong" and "immoral". This role not only proved how great of an actor Jared Leto is, but it also proved how much of a genuine and caring person he is. Go Jared Leto!

[@pauliepecans4213]

I couldn't have said it better myself. In one of the interviews he talks about how he would walk around supermarkets in character and all the dirty looks he got and how that really inspired him

[@alimartin79]

Rayon is one of the most heartwarming characters ever created in film. Her journey is so moving throughout the film, portrayed brilliantly by Jared. I loved watching the relationship develop between Ron and rayon. Just beautiful :)

[@dansenkat]

This character touched and broke my heart immensely. Such a well deserved Oscar. I applaud Jared Leto for portraying the beautiful Rayon. Nobody could've done it better.

[@anastasiagavalas5655]

Griffin Kowash i take from your tone that you disapprove of the casting of jared leto for this role, because he is a straight man. Therefore, by your logic you are saying that trans actors shouldn't play the role of a straight man. I think thats unfair, don't you?

Kinda mental

[@TheDancingPasta]

The interesting thing is, when Rayon, dressed in men's clothing, is speaking to her father, she still seems like a woman. In fact, the men's clothing seems awkward and incorrect. That's how well he played the role.

[@aegontargaryensixthofhisname]

***** "The power of film".

[@SuhasGlop]

***** She means a transgender woman. Trans women are women stuck in men's bodies. Drag queens are just men in dresses, although some drag queens are trans. Rayon is a woman in a man's body - a trans woman.

Jared nailed this role. Rayon was/is a once in a lifetime character. So happy he won.

[@allthingsflea]

I couldn't believe how great he was in this movie, Leto and also McConaughey were both well deserving of their Oscar wins

[@MonikaSudakov]

This was perhaps one of the most powerful and most amazing performances of all time.

[@erinpilla]

EDITED TO FOR CLARIFICATION. HE refers to Jared Leto I was crying just by watching this clip. He really deserved to win, REGARDLESS OF HIS GENDER. I don't understand why people have to overly trivialize things like "oh he's portraying a transgender, no it should be a real one..." like I remember what a casting director said when people in China got flustered when Zhang Ziyi was cast as a geisha... "it's about potential, not nationality." Or better yet, let us all remember what Mo'Nique said... "it's about the performance, and not the politics."

[@JustMe-so4di]

Don't have to worry or care about his gender he's beautiful as a woman and his beautiful as a man he just a beautiful person I love Jared

[@lexmontoya13]

I have seen every single movie he has been in, and he is with out a doubt one of the best character actors I have ever seen. He was phenomenal in Chapter 27 and Mr. Nobody, but this role puts all of his others to shame. I completely forgot that I was watching my idol on screen half way through the movie. I forgot that it was Jared, he made me (and I'm sure many others) believe that he was Rayon. Such a wonderful, once in a lifetime role for a phenomenal, once in a lifetime actor.

[@uranglintau]

I'm not really a big fan of Jared, but his work in this particular film is a masterpiece, no one could've done it better. Hats off!

[@bebrewer9249]

I am a really big fan of Jared. I agree. I'm so glad someone else turned it down because he did good! That hug at 05:50 made me cry and the scene talking to his dad was heartbreaking.

It's good to see an actor talk with real love, respect & affection for their character, and even better to see a transgender person portrayed that way on screen

[@linsharon1390]

To be honest, I think people nowadays are too sensitive that they victimuzed themselves without noticing. This is my favourite character, and what I remember is her affection towards friends and her courage to be herself. People really need to be more open-minded, instead of seeing what they want to see.

Absolutely mesmerizing.

[@lightofwadowice]

IMO, Jared Leto gave the most exceptional and unforgettable performance of 2013. Better than even Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine. Leto showed a very wide range of emotions: defiance, solidarity with Ron, regret, fear of death... Not to mention Leto's weight loss and effeminate behaviour throughout the movie. I am glad he won the Oscar. For me Supporting Actor was quite straightforward (unlike Leading Actor & Supporting Actress). Leto's closest competitor Michael Fassbender played an evil slave owner, and that's it. A very well deserved win for Leto. And what a lovely speech and tribute to him mom =)

Great movie. All the actors were great. But Jared Leto absolutely stole the show in my opinion. His portrayal of Rayon was incredible. He definitely deserves that Oscar, no questions asked. The way portrayed the character was so powerful, I feel like the movie could have been just about Rayon, and his life. Amazing.

[@BaileyDecker95]

Just watching this short video brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy seeing how a film can change lives and perspectives. Everyone did such a brilliant job in this movie. I watched it the night before the Academy Awards and still the power of it keeps me captivated.

Jared Leto was born to play this role and he becomes Rayon. Nobody could have played Rayon with the same method that Jared carries out and lets the audience see.

[@drakedrones]

Why would you steal my thoughts ! 😁

[@jakal911]

The best scene in the movie is actually right after he meets his dad, and he's posing with the dress. They took that scene out of context in this video. In the movie, it really breaks your heart, because you get behind him 100% and see what he's dealing with. Leto will win the Oscar.

When I watched this movie, I was like, "HOLY SHIT, LETO AND McCONAUGHEY BLEW ME AWAY!" I did not know that mcconaughey had that capability to be such an affective method actor, a few talented people have today, like christian bale, De Niro, daniel day-lewis and leo dicaprio, and those that are not with us like Brando, Bogart, Grant, and Heston. I hated McConaughey's image prior to Dallas Buyer's because of his douchiness and tendency to do romantic comedies (though he was great in Dazed and Confused). But after his performance in this movie, he showed the world that he can be world-class and it surprised the hell out of me. I knew that Leto always has had a great talent and was always underrated. His performance in Requiem for a Dream was also oscar-worthy. I think his good looks overshadowed his talents. I also love his music. It's about time he gets kudos!
