The Ryan White Story part 8 of 10

[Disbelieverful]

I find this film so difficult to watch. God bless Ryan White and all the suffering he and his family endured. It made me cry when Ryan says 'See you in Heaven' to his dog.

[jjever1]

i Love you ryan your my inspiration!!! :D

[silvereagle2061]

If only it were the late 90s or even today Ryan would have had a better chance and society would have embraced him. I wish I knew you Ryan and you would have had a friend forever in me. RIP Ryan

[JeniBurton213]

8:15 "bye Barney. see you in heaven" I couldn't stop crying :(

[toddrocks7231]

y would this have dislikes

[027220]

@toddrocks7231 God knows.

[FLGuy78]

Was that a real dead dog? If it was, this movie was pretty edgy for 1988. In one part they use the word "faggot" and now a dead dog (if it's real.)

[TheFunRush1]

I wish more kids was like ryan minus the aids fightin to get in school. these day everyone wants to sleep all day RIP RYAN WHITE AND RYAN DUNN (JackA**)

[spiritfyre1]

I cried when his dog was ran over =-(

[noereyes82]

I wonder how all those ppl who discriminated Ryan felt after his death and after AIDS became an epidemic. Ppl can b so ignorant and so cruel. Fuck all those ppl who r so fuckn stupid. Sorry excuse my language. RIP RYAN

[MoralOrder1]

@noereyes82 i understand your frustration. It hurts to see this movie & see how this child was being treated. It will piss anybody off who has a heart & cares sweetie. Although you cussed you had a godly anger. You had a righteous anger. I don't encourage cussing, St. Peter in the Bible cussed. What happen to that boy was terrible.

[haveyouseencrazy]

you imagine what it would be like to live in the 80s, (fucking great) cause it was all great.

[Muggle423]

Dammit, I read the comments, tried to fast forward thru the parts with the dog, but still managed to land on the sad images of the dog in the street and the dog getting carried away. I only saw two seconds of it and it still made me cry and now I can't get the horrible images out of my head.

[CheekyThrill]

Oh God, did his dog really get hit in real life??? :'(

[lavrilfan16]

BEAT IT rip mj

[FloridaLizardQueen]

Ryan White would be the same age as my brother is Ryan was still around

[uhohwhoops]

GeezE this family just gets the shit end of the stick!

[bettescorpio]

If only people gave the love an animal gives... unconditional love. 

[NerdForMIT]

andrea is such a winey ass bitch. her brother is sick and dieing. and she is worried about her self.

[JeniBurton213]

Is it just me or does it seem like the most angelic people are the ones whose lives are cut so short? Very sad!

[Celie3678]

@JeniBurton213 Hence the cliche', "Only the good die young"!

[gigi6196]

Nooooooooooo! Not Barnie! Stupid donut inhaling cop.

[thephoenixJN]

OMG when he called the radio station and said tht i almost cried..^_^ good job ryan rip

[JeniBurton213]

@thephoenixJN I agree. The look on his face was classic.

[NerdForMIT]

@thephoenixJN same here.

[prettychachi]

oh man the dog dying KILLED ME i love animals and get really upset and sad when i see stuff like this.. But good movie 

[HeyButtahfly]

The part where they carry the dog made me cry.

[Hadra568]

Stupid Sony. 

[daleydeil]

No Audio. T-T

[alynn234]

Awwww! The audio has been disabled! :( Can someone please explain to me what happened in this part? Particularly, 0:26 -- 3:19 ?? Please? I'd really appreciate it...

[JeniBurton213]

Saddest part of the whole movie: when his dog (his best friend) is killed...and he's carrying him saying "I'll see you in Heaven". Just absolutely breaks my heart. :(

[MADDOG6400]

The part where he loses his dog and tells him that he'll see him in Heaven made me cry.

[RodStewartfan1]

Poor Barney!! He and Ryan are playing in heaven together with Michael!

[RodStewartfan1]

I agree Vatfryer. LOVEMichealJackson I agree Ryan did have great taste in music!! :)

[khendlewilliams]

Best line in this part of the movie- "You got no right to talk about my mother! She's a great person and she does love me! You got no right!" And to see the faces of those ignorant radioheads. Good boy Ryan! May you rest in peace<3

[bostonscholar]

 A few years ago I was having a bad day, walked into a store and John Cougar's "Authority Song" was playing. I thought of Ryan and smiled. This movie first came on (after he died) when I was 8; kne3w nothing of him before then. Now, he's on a list of people I admire

[MajorYT]

So much pain and MJ helped ease it...

[bettescorpio]

I bet that douche bag hit Ryan's dog on purpose... Just to make his life a little better huh??? WTF was wrong with people in those days??? God I'm so glad we're past that....

[irishstephik]

wow beat itttttttt

[MichaelJacksonFoeva]

stupid photographer takin a picyure of a dead dog that belongs to a dying boy with aids..so mean

[redheadonfire2]

an mj look-a-like or even mj is not in this movie? that would be so cool

[do123able]

@redheadonfire2 That would have been to much like right same ol same ol don't give MJ credit for anything good just the so called bad stuff, but then again maybe MJ wanted it to be that way to keep the focus on Ryan.

[DemisedDill]

omg the dog died

[AFNYOAQIS]

why didnt they just homeschool him?

[alliejune09]

That would defeat the whole purpose. They were fighting for the right for people with AIDS to attend school. Homeschooling him would have let the ignorant win.

[KelleyLi]

@AFNYOAQIS because he wanted to go to school with his friends and feel normal. he had a right like any kid

[antoniob35]

michael and ryan,never gave up

rip,ryan & michael

[dashikie13]

michael is in heaven and ryan is taking good care of him now

[Vatfryer]

@dashikie13 You're right about that. I imagine they're both happy and healthy and enjoying spending time together.

[carlytr23]

@Vatfryer yeah ryan was a awsome person so i agree they both are haveing fun

[sliat1981]

@Vatfryer i'm sure he's teaching him 2 moonwalk

[Bindiscrocgirl]

@dashikie13 He sure is up there with MJ. They probaly having a good ole chat up there. :-)

[pugpuppies25]

ik lol but you cant catch aids from being in the same room with a person with it.

[chicxxfreak29]

omg hearing beat it....thats so weird....now they are both gone :( but atleast they are together...

rip ryan white. rip michael jackson

[legogirl11]

do you know that ryan and micheal where friends? it was in the book and I thought it was cool. he met elton john too.

[dd1985]

I loved it when Ryan called the radio in support of his mom.

That was righteous. . . RIGHTEOUS!!!

[cryme2tik]

f ur mom

[pugpuppies25]

these people are so mean and cruel

[danimal90210]

you spelled come cum, quit hitting on me you fagget i dont wanna cum back to you

[mtenor]

you stupid ugly cunt burn in hell

[wurdapartyzatXP]

I'm not even gonna bother talkin sense into a brick wall like you anymore...

God bless you, and I hope you find refuge one day, before you stand before God's grace...

[wurdapartyzatXP]

All I'm sayin is that it wasn't Ryan's fault! BTW you're wrong, they WILL be missed, especially Ryan. He fought for his rights and showed us how far integrity and strive gets you. Ryan is an American hero, what are you?

Why are you juding another's lifestyle?

[wurdapartyzatXP]

Yes, NOW only ppl who are as you so bluntly call it "whores" get diseases. But in the 80's it wasn't Ryan or his mom's fault that he got aids. It was the hospital who didn't check the blood they were donating to sickly 12 year olds!!!

So IDK why you're hatin on Ryan so much, it wasn't his fuckin fault you inconsiderate prick!

[wurdapartyzatXP]

You may just be the most fucked up a person I've ever met... How can you be sooo cruel intentionally to ppl you don't know?

[wurdapartyzatXP]

Yeah it's their fault for having a disease that they can't control... Yeah you're an idiot.

[Veraclarke1]

That ur an idiot. Someone probably fiddled with your diddle and ur mad at the wrong person. Get help.

[wurdapartyzatXP]

Greg get a life you're probably MJ's biggest fan, you're almost on every vid that relates to him in anyway! You're a loser!

[wurdapartyzatXP]

OMG MJ!!!! I love it Ryan's playin beat it ^___^

I heard MJ and him were friends before Ryan died...

[Veraclarke1]

thanks for proving my case AGAIN you sorry excuse for a human being.

[Veraclarke1]

Again, ur talking out your ass, I rest my case.

[Veraclarke1]

You're already losing the battle/war if ur fighting the wrong person. MJ was no a pedo, but YOU are an idiot! :)

[awsomeGONEawsome]

Ok why are people swearing at each other and saying they would slap them in their hood on a video about a boy who died of aids?!?

It's a bit disrespectful

[joniwhytestar]

i wonder what u are doing here GREGJOCKCA22, wastin ur time writing such a stupid comment..

[LOVEMichealJackson]

OMG !

Ryan was playing Beat it by Michael Jackson :)

I love you Ryan White and Michael Jackson.

Rest in Peace angels.

[Vatfryer]

Ryan had great taste in music. : )

[BlackJ303]

Is that so?

[Vatfryer]

Yes, in my opinion. He loved Michael Jackson, Elton John, and John Mellencamp.

[Celie3678]

@Vatfryer I'm the same age as Ryan was and I listened to the very same music. I couldn't imagine having gone through what he did at that age. I've been positive now for 16 years and it's the "Ryan White foundation" that pays for my medical care. Thank you Ryan White AND Elton John for the funding.

R.I.P. My angel and thanks for taking one for an ever growing team. -Brandon Copeland, Dallas, TX.

[godsfiddler]

No surprise. MJ and Elton John were his favorites. MJ and Elton John were both there when he died. Elton was with him when he died, and MJ came the morning after.

[laceleatherxxx]

love ryan and michael

[safire4real]

that disk jockey is a bitch ass

[tennisace49]

I kinda feel bad for the police officer that hit Barney. I honestly think he didn't mean to hit the dog.

[maya9824]

Man I started crying when he said "Bye Barney See You In Heaven". I think Ryan and Michael Jackson finally met Ryan in a long time in heaven. Plus on 3:29 he was listening to "Beat It" R.I.P. Ryan and Michael

[supergoten]

This gets sadder and sadder...and rip MJ as well, that's how i found the movie.

[bestofwest11]

me to thats how i found this movie

[TheLMG2009]

same here i was looking up music by him and saw that song about him so i looked up his name and couldnt stop watching this movie and it was real late when i watched it.

[Kirabella1588]

"Bye Barney, see you in heaven"

holy damn, Im such an emotional wreck right now.

One thing is for sure though. I cant wait to meet Ryan

[Vatfryer]

Yes, I can't wait to see him up in Heaven too. :)

[Sara4Fergie]

Yeah, I teared up too when he said that. Man.

[DMMP28]

I wept during that scene too.

[cami725]

if i was tht lil grl and they asked me "how is home?" i wudve asked "how is ya home bytch? wont you go home and sucks grandpa's dick!"

RIP Ryan.

[gocowboys008]

i can't believe on top of everything the dog had to die :(((

[ilovejobbros]

aww it was so sweet wen he called in about his mom

[Vatfryer]

That rocked! I wouldn't let anyone talk about my mama either!

[likewhatt1212]

THE DOG DIES?!?!

WTF

D;

D:

D:

:((

[crappykidforever]

that poor dog.

the boy barely had any friends left.

tragic

[leongirl]

Can anything else go wrong for this poor family? First their kid has go to through all this, their Christmas presents gets stolen, and now their dog gets hit by a car? :(

[Vatfryer]

Unfortunately, when it rains it pours. I'm glad that family is so strong. They're amazing.

[Kady1989]

its its since Michael Jackson died that i know about this movie....i saw the song he wrote for him and decided to look for him on here....then i saw the movie....thanks for posting

[Vatfryer]

You're welcome. It's very sad about Michael. He was my generation's Elvis. I hope they both RIP.

[misszmyles]

yeah thats how i found out about it too. this storys so sad. there both gone too soon =[ RIP

[gumbyetl]

thats how i found out about the movie too.

[MShoasz14]

omg why the dog!!! This is so sad

[NinjaJon27]

he was listening to beat it

[hothickster]

Ryan's attitude is an inspiration. He kept his head up and stayed strong. I hope all those who made he, Jeanie and Andrea feel like outsiders know damn well that they shall burn in hell. The petition, destruction of the tree, hitting Barney and the careless ignorance can not be described by any word. To those in Kokomo who are already dead, burn well! To those still alive I'll bet Ryan and Barney will love to watch all of you be molested with satian's pitch fork from heaven.

[Vatfryer]

He is absolutely an inspiration. If I'm feeling down, it helps to read about Ryan or watch this movie. It helps me remember to keep going.

[2grownouthere]

i agree I almost came to tear when he called the radio

tears of joy

[Maxcloudy]

the boy who acted as Ryan kinda looks like a child version of Toby Mcquire. Really cute :)

[flawless7777]

Hah! the kid just bitch slapped the radio guy down a fone

[Itslikedat2007]

i work in a hospital as a cna for a year and b4 then i have never met an aids or hiv patient. i was truly shocked and amazed because they looked normal and healthy they were not skinny with sores actually one of them was drop dead sexy with the body of a god and one was overweight..all i have seen about aids has been on tv and seeing these patients really opened my eyes and i am a lil more weary now

[Jal8919536]

I love how Ryan tells off Male Call after they agree with a caller bad-mouthing his mother that she didn't care about her son, when in fact Jeanne was suffering for the potential loss of her boy.

[DMMP28]

I loved that part too.

[secretlike]

Yeah, I was so proud of him :)

[authorgirl86]

when they hit Ryan's dog......... my heart shattered

[Jal8919536]

"Bye, Barney. I'll see you in Heaven." );

[secretlike]

That made me cry.

[PORTUGAL79]

can't believe they actually compared to chicken pox...i thanks god in most of the world mentality like this doesn't exist. also thought it was quite funny that after this film aired the people of the town complained that they were misrepresented. Like forcing a kid out of school and persecuting his family means you should be given the soft touch by the media

[meghanyo09]

i know you wrote this six months ago, but i am just watching this now and i have to say that this is one of the most intelligent and well writeen comments i have seen on here!

[GhostSonic]

anonymous is legion XD

[hamlin112]

why is there no comments?
