AIDS is going to be out there until the end of time, just like any other diseases, There will be other diseases coming, im sure. Scientists make diseases and then turn around to find" acure" for what they created. Sad but true. People need to take precautions for their own well-being

Nicely done.

@peter Any companion book?

At the end of silverlake Life it shows a memorial service. Was it theirs combined?

Would love more on tom and mark. Silverlake Life is amazing.

I don't quite know how to explain this but there is just something very familiar & dreamlike about this movie & oddly comforting too. It feels like Tom & Mark have always been a part of my life & certain scenes & musical motifs send me to a very moonlit state of mind. 2 beautiful people who made a beautiful film, god bless their courage, their strength & their care for the audience against enormous odds. I love you Tom & Mark

thank you for uploading (and helping create!) this, it breaks my heart to see all the homophobic people in the comments completely missing the point :(

the part at 37:00 where he's filming mark dancing and he pans to the carpet and you can tell from the little imprints he's danced on that carpet a gazillion times </3

Thank you for this film and your perspective. It‘s very moving. Best regards from zurich 💜

wonderfull film. thanks for making it accesible here🫶

Love this! Roy was a total musical entertainer. Light hearted, virtuosic and supremely confident. Then he topped off his career by being a great teacher. Truly a life well lived!

Rip Tom and Mark😢you guys didn't deserve this at all

Were they not monogamous? How did HIV enter their lives?

Wow This man was a fighter.

Any chance of a restauration in HD (or even 4K)?

This disease literally sucked the life right out of its victims & for those who wanted to keep their sexuality & status a secret, the outward/visible symptoms (ks/wasting/etc) of aids pretty much made that impossible. There obviously isn't/wasn't anything about this disease that's good,but if you had to find at least one thing that could be seen as such,it was the fact that symptoms didn't appear for 10 years in a large percentage of its victims,which could be seen as both fortunate or unfortunate. Fortunate = you didn't have any symptoms to make your life miserable Unfortunate = you weren't even aware you were carrying a deadly disease around so you were infecting others unintentionally. 1:08:40 😮 1:08:40

I watched this in the early days of a relationship with a beautiful woman who I’m still with and still love. I hope we can go out to heaven the way these two souls have.

Is Blackstar available to watch anywhere?

I guess the lesson here is to date women and stay away from any sort of homosexuality because this is what it leads to.

He was such a sweet man, with a great sense of humour. RIP Mark.

Looks worse than Holocaust, what an awful disease. Heartbreaking

Had to revisit this film. Hope everyone’s doing well these days!

Thank you mr Friedman for giving us the opportunity to see this naked and raw documentary again.

Thank you Tom, Mark and Peter. ❤

Their love is so heart warming. Currently balling at the clips from when they were in love pre-aids 😭

thank you for sharing. I can see that Mark tried to stay mostly positive through the whole disease...the image of him dancing to Johnny Clegg sticks with me

How brave of Mark and Tom to do this ❤

I always wondered who helped take care of Mark?!? :(

Very hard watch. Rip to both. Is Blackstar available to watch?

Are chrysler Slant 6 engines really as reliable as they say?

Kinda ironic how Mark said "I don't think so dear,not when the msg comes before the chicken".He was weeks/days away from dying,yet he was still worried about the things he was eating.

Bless Tom and Mark - I am glad Mark tried to keep optimistic in his last months. Two beautiful souls and I hope whatever happens after this life they are still together somewhere. ⚘️

Despite the horrible disease, and their declining health Tom and Mark continued to love and support each other. RIP to two wonderful men, and all those who died of Aids. Also sending strength to those living with HIV. ⚘️

Even for people that wanted to keep their sexuality a secret during the early days of aids,this disease wouldn't allow that.Kaposi and the excessive weight loss this community got stricken with was a physical marker that victims couldn't avoid.Except for one video I've seen where one guys face and neck were covered completely by one massive KS lesion,Mark is the next worse case of KS I've seen. These two guys were brave to have allowed all of us outsiders into their lives to watch them from the very beginning of this part of their lives to the end of it.Their upbeat spirit (especially Mark) said alot about their character,strength & bravery that they remained high spirited up to the end regardless of their pain & suffering & the stigma from the outside world that was judgemental,prejudice and at times down right cruel.May a day soon come where the medical community finds a cure for the millions that have to live with this every single day. May Tom and Mark RIP.

Cool upload!!

That must’ve been so shocking, scary and sad to witness in a store?! I’ve never seen a person with AIDS or AIDS related symptoms and infections, such as KS, what Mark had here. But in the 80’s and 90’s it was probably not uncommon to see gay men with AIDS presenting those symptoms. Still it must’ve been shocking to see, very, very sad…

This man is great at string instruments. 🙂

I would exchange every bug chaser and giver to have had these men survive long enough to have benefitted from the meds we have today for it. R.I.P Chaps ❤️

So brave We miss these great souls

Amazing. He was the pioneer of guitar in America. He was doing it before all my guitar heroes in the 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's. He paved the way and was so talented.

Roy was always stopping to make sure and point out to all the other listeners in the room, to listen to the instrument being played at it's very highest level..........Which he's playing at the time.....while in the middle of the piece....AND without creating a single flaw in the melody, or rhythm.

Tom, Mark je vous aime❤

6:40 1926 .... $1250 ... That's nearly $20,000 in todays dollars... WOW...

Very, very difficult to watch...... 😢

Just found the epilogue for the first time. So grateful to have some sense of closure for Mark. Though he never knew me, I’ve had the pleasure of knowing him.

Thank you for creating this. That’s all I have to say. Shocking and heartbreaking for sure but extremely important

He died a year after Tom died...if you know silver lake life.

You really have to think that if Aids was killing straight people it would have been cured in a few years. The insane amount of time it took to just create medication to make it a chronic disease is disgraceful.

Im from Romania tanks you Peter !! RIP Tom & Mark ❤😪😪

Especially loved the part where Mark spoke of being visited by Tom after he had passed over. Reminds me that this life is only temporary, and that energy is never destroyed, it just changes form. Tom stayed with him and right next to him, but minus the physical pain and suffering. A harrowing documentary, but also heartwarming as it captures the resiliance of the human spirit, and its determination to survive and embrace all things, against the odds.
