two sentences
1. And the face of HIV today is a world away from the gaunt faces and wasted spirits brought to life in Tony Kushner's Angels in America and by Tom Hanks in Philadelphia.
Please put the sentence in a simple way.
2. So the fact that some experts are talking about ending the epidemic - with fewer resources, without a vaccine and without a cure - strikes others in the field as premature.
What does "strike" mean?
What does "in the field as premature" mean?
Thank you.

People who have HIV today look far different (healthier) than they did in the films Angels in America and Philadelphia which portrayed HIV sufferers in the early days of the epidemic before there were effective treatments.
Some experts in the field of HIV research feel it is too early(premature) to speak with confidence about the possibility of ending the epidemic

1. Tony Kushner and Tom Hanks bring HIV to life in today's world.
I am leaving out many details, but this should be the main point if the sentence.
2. "Strikes" used in this sentence means "causes to have a particular reaction." "In the field as premature" can be broken down to "In the field" and "premature." "In the field" refers to the people who also belong in a particular branch of study. For example, "the medical field" refers to doctors, nurses, etc. "premature" means in this context "occurring before the proper time. So put together, "strikes others in the field as premature" means "causes others who work in the same branch of study to think that it is too early."
