root cause of discrimination

With the soft music and the graininess unique to the film era, people can't help but slowly integrate into the connotation era of that movie. In fact, I have never had much awareness of growth and the passage of time. Until I saw the brick flip phone and the iron taxi again, I suddenly realized that time has passed quietly for more than 20 years, and the inventions we have become accustomed to have come to the world 20 years ago Said to be so trendy and luxurious, it turns out that we are all getting old.

As a lawyer-themed work, several actors in it performed naturally and wonderfully. All the in-court defenses are also very lively and very high-level! The AIDS patient played by Tom Hanks is also very good.

The film discusses the root causes of discrimination against AIDS and homosexuality. Obviously, in those more conservative times, people's understanding of these two "abnormal" social phenomena was still very limited. The group is ludicrously portrayed as a group of terrifying demons, who even go to great lengths to expel the protagonist from the company. The most commendable part of the film is the caring and de-demonization of these minorities. In fact, such people may be by your side, and they don’t seem to be any different from you, they are the same living people.

    Tom Hanks is really charming! This has gone beyond the acting itself, and it is directly integrated with the role! As a man, I really want to be someone like Hanks.

    Very classic film, but also very realistic and shocking

Philadelphia quotes

  • Belinda Conine: [Defense opening statement] fact: Andrew Beckett's performance on the job varied from competent to good, to often times mediocre, to sometimes flagrantly incompetent fact: he claims he's the victim of lies and deceit, fact: it was Andrew Beckett who lied, going through lengths to conceal his disease from his employers, fact: Andrew Beckett was successful in his duplicity, the partners at Wyatt Wheeler did not fire Andrew Beckett because he had AIDS fact: Andrew Beckett is dying fact: Andrew Beckett is angry because his lifestyle, his reckless behavior has cut short his life and in his anger, in his rage he is lashing out and he wants someone to pay

  • Joe Miller: [Plaintiff opening statement] ladies and gentlemen of the jury: forget everything you've seen on television and in the movies. There's not going to be any last minute surprise witnesses, nobody's going to break down on the stand with a tearful confession, you're going to be presented with simple facts. Andrew Beckett was fired and you'll two explanations on why he was fired, ours and theirs it's up to you to sit through layer upon layer of truth until you determine for yourself which version sounds the most true. There's certain points I must prove to you: point number one: Andrew Beckett was... is a brilliant lawyer, a great lawyer, point number two: my client afflicted with a disabling disease made the understandable, the personal, and the legal choice to keep the fact of his illness to himself point number three: his employers discovered his illness and ladies and gentlemen the illness I'm referring to is AIDS point number four: they panicked and in their panic they did what most would do which is just get "it" and everybody who has "it" as far as away as possible, the behavior of my client's employers seem reasonable to you, it does to me, after all AIDS is a deadly incurable disease but no matter how you come to judge Charles Wheeler and his partners in ethical and moral and inhuman terms, the fact of the matter is when they fired Andrew Beckett because he has AIDS they broke the law.
