Daybreak is an HBO drama based on Alan Bowne's acclaimed off-Broadway play Beirut. The play is a taut, two-character allegory about AIDS that takes place in one dismal room on Manhattan's Lower East Side. The film has been "opened-out" into an apocalyptic, romantic action-thriller. New York City is a 1984-style fascist nightmare steeped in poverty and ridden with plague. Bands of armed officers under the rubric Operation Helping Hand roam the streets rounding up Positives, who are tattooed and quarantined in filthy hellholes. Blue, a poor but pretty young woman (sweet-faced Moira Kelly), stumbles onto a secret resistance group that rescue Positives to give them compassionate care. Blue falls in love with their courageous leader, Torch, powerfully played by Cuba Gooding Jr. The play focuses on the relationship between these star-crossed lovers and the film's best moments do the same. Neither the play nor the film ever mentions AIDS by name, but it is clear that in both cases AIDS is the plague in question and the theme is the hysteria that AIDS can generate. The horrible future these dramas foresaw did not come to pass. Since they were written, great medical strides have been made that have changed the face of AIDS. But fear and misinformation about the disease persist. AIDS remains a major health crisis worldwide and Daybreak is a powerful film that deserves to be seen. --Laura Mirsky

Customer Reviews of Daybreak

Moira Kelly at one of her best
The movie itself is a kind of the early nineties' AIDS pandemonium projected onto the Orwell's visions of 1984. Mentally nothing really challenging although romantic (as 1984 book for a big part of it) and somewhat inspiring. But... if you like Moira Kelly (as I do) - this is the one you shouldn't miss (beside "The Cutting Edge" of course)! Three stars for the movie, five stars for Moira and four for the others - averages to four at my scale. This means: go for it.


The best movie in the world
This was the best movie I have ever seen. But I hated the end, it depressed me for days, because I wanted them to be together. It is still my favorite movie. Cuba Gooding Jr. is the sexiest man, he is a very good actor. And Moira Kelly is a good actress. You can tell they are because you could feel the love between the two characters and they didn't even have to say I love you. I really wish the end had been different. I wanted them to make love so bad. He should have escaped with her or they should have found a cure and then they could have lived happily ever after and had a baby. And I hated when Willie died. The end of that movie made me so mad. I don't see how she could go on without him. They should have made love, no matter what. They were very good together. They should do another movie together. I love that movie so much but when I watch it ( I have the video) it leaves me depressed for days. But it's still the best.
