The film uses a large number of contrasts and conflicts to highlight people's views between law and morality, homosexuality and ordinary people, and ordinary diseases and AIDS, reflecting the background of American society at that time
. A scene expresses a comparison between Andrew and Jue's different attitudes towards a community case. Andrew is
all about the law, while Jue is sensible and emotional

. court, Andrew tried to interrupt Jue several times. Shows the different ways Andrew and Jue approach the problem.

2 Before Andrew, a client of Jue who broke his leg stated a fact that seemed unreasonable, but Jue said I have case but in the face of Andrew encountering Jue or saying I don't buy it, it shows that Jue is here. It's obviously a personal prejudice
and it echoes the first scene of the movie.

3 In the pub, Jue states that he is disgusting homosexual, but can't do illegal things. Turning to the scene of opera, Jue actually sympathized with Andrew entering his inner world. He started to think it was ridiculous, but he couldn't let it go for a long time. ,bias ,ignorance

Cue:

When Andrew was calling, the woman saw the lesion on his neck. The bartender said that the disgust was already in Jue's office. Asking his assistant what was going on was showing the citizen's opinion

The opera scene is very infectious to show that as a homosexual, as a person with AIDS, the great pain after being abandoned by society, Joe finally walked into Andrew's heart, from business affairs but finally realized that this case is related to the whole society , in this group about homosexuality,

Andrew finally gave a presentation in court and said that wanting to be a lawyer like Willer is also to pass an infro. He wants to be equality, not someone who is abhor

. Andrew explained on court how he consider himeself a excellent layer and said I love the law , I know the law I excel the practising here also echoes the first scene Andrew uses the law to solve practical problems


:
Andrew, a proud, conceited, promising lawyer at first, was finally abandoned by society and discriminated against by people AIDS carriers, homosexuals. TOM vividly interprets the hearts of the characters before and after the transformation. Whether it's the eloquent talk during the nomination or the helpless and disappointed eyes after being rejected by Joe, it is very vivid.

Joe has a personal prejudice against homo and AIDS, and feels that he should be official. Go public, and finally understand and truly recognize homosexuality, people with AIDS should not be abandoned by society.

The last sentence that impressed me the most was Jue's "Let's talk about this case really all about"
on court
.
good start !! right
This movie really talks the about bais , humandity ,law and really talks the about a group of people whom we don't usually pay attention .

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."
