Having seen a few clips of theatrical interpretations, this is actually my favourite version of this scene. The characters have so much affectionate chemistry, they’re so comfortable around each other and they take care of each other even when Prior is being flippant and Louis becomes hysterical. Such a beautiful take
Yes, they really do seem like a couple who've been together for years, who have a shorthand and a familiar intimacy, not just two actors working on a project for a few months pretending to be so.
I think Justin Kirk is the absolute #1 Prior Walter. His facial expressions. His mannerisms. His delivery. I have seen all other versions with other actors, but Justin Kirk is the quintessential Prior W.
Every single person in the cast of the HBO is the greatest possible! I feel like everyone won all the awards except Ben Schenkman (Louis), who, outta everyone, might be my absolute favorite. I think about the final Louis-Joe scene a lot, especially post-2016... The writing, the broader meaning with respect to GOP depravity, but also specifically Ben Schenkman's performance
i know! andy! i saw weeds before i watched this movie even though it came out earlier than the series. he is a very good actor. i would think if he had taken this role he would not be serious or intelligent because he played andy so well that i thought that was justin kirk's real personality, but it was a role.
I absolutely love this movie. Absolutely brilliant. I think it's the best movie that revolves around homosexuality and what comes with it. The entire cast is brilliant and I can't help but cry like a little b**** at the scenes where prior is in pain.
At this point, Prior and Louis have been together for four years. Prior could've contracted HIV from a previous partner which only recently progressed to AIDS. In the scene, Prior mentioned "fellating" Louis (i.e., oral sex) for those four years, implying they may have never engaged in anal sex. Not all gay men enjoy anal intercourse and many prefer other forms of intimacy.

@@JackAShepherd I know what u mean, poor guy prob got shafted because he fit Louis so well..
Idk I'm kinda sold with Andrew Garfield's portrayal
100 percent right u are ..he IS Prior W.
"I never visited." Great foreshadowing
A gem. an eternal gem.
"I can't find a way to spare you, baby"... Shit
I never new about this movie - I'm in shock !!! what a film
Louis for all his faults and mistakes and selfishness did love Prior, and that was clear in this scene.
Beautiful acting.
I only just discovered this movie! Wonderfull stuff!
Amazing scene❣️
I always thought he said “chaos, baby”
KS = Kaposi's sarcoma.
Beautifully written!
Hey, it's the guy from Weeds!
i know! andy! i saw weeds before i watched this movie even though it came out earlier than the series. he is a very good actor. i would think if he had taken this role he would not be serious or intelligent because he played andy so well that i thought that was justin kirk's real personality, but it was a role.
He was so hot in Weeds -- i.e., when he's not portraying a character with a wasting disease

I don’t know who was a better Prior Walter between Justin Kirk or Andrew Garfield
I still prefer the series version
Awesome Baby
so sad
Louis needs his Mammy.
I only liked Andrew Scott’s performance of angels of America so far. Everything else pales in comparison
UA-camReviewer 00 I totally disagree. Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Jeffrey Wright and Mary Louise Parker are all just as amazing.
Even Andrew Garfield's?
Mabye im being stupid but if they were dating and presumably only having sex with eachother, how did Prior get AIDs but not Louis?
Always wondered about that too.

How can I watch it all does anyone know
its on HBO, i supose that you can binge it if you use the freetrail
Get HBO Max and binge watch all 6 episodes
this reminds me of that scene in kids, where the hot chick get the hiv diagnose
Bjørn B Excellent, like, incomparably better, LOL
I seen that movie so many times! Raw
Louis was the worst. Tied with Roy.
I agree. He’s insufferable all the way through this. Tony Kushner has said that he based Louis on himself - hard to believe.
I bet you're a bothsideser who says Biden's as bad as Trump and Pelosi's as bad as McConnell 🙄
