The Cure

The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex, in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970's with their debut album Three Imaginary Boys; this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and new wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980's, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music was a staple of the emerging gothic rock genre.

After the release of 1982's Pornography, the band's future was uncertain and Smith was keen to move past the gloomy reputation his band had acquired. With the single "Let's Go to Bed" released the same year, Smith began to place a pop sensibility into the band's music and their popularity increased as the decade wore on, with songs like "Just Like Heaven", "Lovesong" and "Friday I'm in Love". The band is estimated to have sold 27 million albums as of 2004 and have released thirteen studio albums, ten EPs and over thirty singles during their career.

The Cure (1995 film)

The Cure is a 1995 drama film starring Brad Renfro and Joseph Mazzello about two boys searching for the cure of AIDS, from which one of them is suffering. It was produced by Eric Eisner and Mark Burg.

Plot

Set in a small town of Stillwater, Minnesota, Erik (Brad Renfro) is an adolescent loner with an emotionally abusive and neglectful and selfish workaholic mother, Gail (Diana Scarwid) who hardly spends time with him. His father, who treated Erik considerably better than his mother, lives in New Orleans. Dexter (Joseph Mazzello), who contracted AIDS through a blood transfusion, is Erik's neighbor. Initially, Erik is put off by Dexter, but the two soon become good friends despite their differences. Erik seeks a family in Dexter and his congenial mother, Linda (Annabella Sciorra), due to his strained relationship with Gail, but keeps the friendship a secret from her, knowing that she won't approve.

Gail discovers the friendship one night after Linda comes over to ask Erik about something Dexter ate in the boys' quest to find a natural cure for his disease. She is furious and warns Linda to keep Dexter away, but Linda, who resents her, refuses to listen and encourages the friendship. When the boys read an article in a tabloid about a doctor in distant New Orleans who claims to have found a cure for AIDS, they set out on their own down the Mississippi River in the hope of finding a means of saving Dexter's life.

    In a cabin, Warren Worthington III and a woman sit by a fireplace. The woman wonders why Warren always tries to push her away. Cable, meanwhile, sleeks in the shadows of a different room, until Warren opens the door and enters the room himself. A battle ensues, and Cable is eventually able to blast Warren off the balcony. Warren's wings tear his jacket and he flies back up to the house. The woman, noticing the commotion, enters and is confronted by Cable. He asks where Dr. Adler is, and she replies Scotland. Before he can get anymore information out of her, Warren attacks. Cable manages to use a blinding explosive and escapes, but the woman blindly shoots Warren with Cable's gun, and he flees, leaving the woman in her sorrow.

    Meanwhile, in Scotland, Professor X and Moira MacTaggert talk about Dr. Adler as they go to visit him. As Professor X scans Dr. Adler's mind, he gets warped visions and slips unconscious. Later, Professor X wonders if Dr. Adler is a mutant himself, which Moira states might suggest why he wants to create a cure for mutants. Professor X decides to tell the X-Men about the cure. The X-Men, rebuilding the X-Mansion after Juggernaut's destruction, bicker as Wolverine tries to help the others. Gambit and Wolverine get at each other's necks, but are stopped by Rogue and Cyclops. Jubilee comes rushing in, stating that Professor X wants to talk to them.
