City of brotherly love

Philadelphia, city of brotherly love.

I read it after dinner last night, woke up in the middle of the night and got up to read it again.
Philadelphia.
I first met Philadelphia because of the Declaration of Independence, then I met Philadelphia because of AI, and today because of the Philadelphia Story.
All men are created equal.
What kind of story does Philadelphia tell us? About law, morality, power, fairness, discrimination, life, compassion, or what?
The night Andrew left, when he said goodbye with tears to all those who had stood with him, who had accompanied him through the last and most difficult time of his life, his loved ones, when he watched Miguel slowly closing the ward. door, when he looked at Miguel and calmly said "I'm ready"...

Remember the opera that Andrew played after that gay party. "The place that cradle me is burning." The lake was red, and the whole house was dyed red by the fire. "I am life. Heaven is in your eyes...I am divine. I am oblivion. I am the god that comes down from the heavens to the earth and makes of the earth a heaven. I am love."

I am love.

Is it the desire for life?
Everything seems small in front of life.
Discrimination, misunderstanding, hostility. But all men are created equal.

AI. When he took the 76ers cap from Stern 11 years ago, he was destined to be associated with Philadelphia throughout his life. You can't expect a kid crawling out of a city center slum to sit at the piano in his spare time like Grant Hill. All he can do is keep fighting, fighting like a man.
Ten years of watching alone. He is the new icon of Philadelphia.
Misunderstand. AI's first album, which was just downloaded some time ago. On the cover, he still has a rebellious look in his eyes. As a man, there is nothing you can rely on. The only one who can make yourself believe is yourself.

Sometimes I think that I know
What love's about
And when I see the light
I know I'll be all right
I've got my friends in the world
I had my friends
When we were boys and girls
And the secrets came unfurled

City of brotherly love
Place I call home
Don't turn your back on me
I don't wanna be alone
Love lasts forever
Someone is talkin' to me
Calling my name
Tell me I'm not to blame
I won't be ashamed of love
Philadelphia
City of brotherly love

Sometimes I think that I know
What love's about
And when I see the light
I know I'll be all right
Philadelphia

    A very mature film, whether it is a gay film, a human rights film—some people even call it an inspirational film; whether it is a script, character setting, story direction, or camera editing. Tom Hanks gave Andrew the brilliance of his humanity, his eyes, his smile when he observed others, his tolerance when he dealt with a lover's tantrum. Andrew is more heartening than Milk is his eternal backing - family. Ignorance is the source of all discrimination.

    You can dislike them but please respect them~ and Tom Hanks is so handsome!

Philadelphia quotes

  • Judge Garrett: In this courtroom, Mr.Miller, justice is blind to matters of race, creed, color, religion, and sexual orientation.

    Joe Miller: With all due respect, your honor, we don't live in this courtroom, do we?

  • Joe Miller: What do you love about the law, Andrew?

    Andrew Beckett: [from the witness stand] I... many things... uh... uh... What I love the most about the law?

    Joe Miller: Yeah.

    Andrew Beckett: It's that every now and again - not often, but occasionally - you get to be a part of justice being done. That really is quite a thrill when that happens.
