We still have a lot to learn

The film repeatedly emphasizes defending the law. It's worth noting that Denzel Washington is a person he hates, and until the end of the film, when Hanks tells him to sit on the bed, Denzel hesitates. However, he believed in the tenets of the law, and no matter what he felt, hated or liked, he always defended the law.
As he said in the first court session, he said, according to everyone's understanding, you hate gays, and so do I. However, it is against the law for the employer to fire him because he hates him.
Perhaps, for our country, from the early 1980s, it started to become normal. But compared to America's short history, our laws are still immature. I came from an engineering degree and have little understanding of the law, but I am not talented, I know that everything can be learned. Since the price increases are frequently brought into line with international standards, why can't the law be brought into line? Although the civil law system and the law of the sea system have various principles, can we really make some progress in the formulation of laws and regulations, the reference of precedents, and the procedures and enforcement of laws? Or if progress is to be counted in the interests of some people?
It is undeniable that every country is governed by elites, but without the platform and laws for the grassroots to defend their rights, then the country's stable foundation will be lost. There is no country in the world, only a group of self-examination and continuous progress.

Philadelphia quotes

  • Joe Miller: What's wrong with your face?

    Andrew Beckett: [upon entering Joe's office] I have AIDS.

  • [Andrew transcendentally describes his favorite opera,slowly walking around his apartment, closing his eyes, looking up]

    Andrew Beckett: Do you like opera?

    Joe Miller: I'm not that familiar with opera.

    Andrew Beckett: This is my favorite aria. This is Maria Callas. This is "Andrea Chenier", Umberto Giordano. This is Madeleine. She's saying how during the French Revolution, a mob set fire to her house, and her mother died... saving her. "Look, the place that cradled me is burning." Can you hear the heartache in her voice? Can you feel it, Joe? In come the strings, and it changes everything. The music fills with a hope, and that'll change again. Listen... listen..."I bring sorrow to those who love me." Oh, that single cello! "It was during this sorrow that love came to me." A voice filled with harmony. It says, "Live still, I am life. Heaven is in your eyes. Is everything around you just the blood and mud? I am divine. I am oblivion. I am the god... that comes down from the heavens, and makes of the Earth a heaven. I am love!... I am love."
