I was very impressed by the details in the play. At the center of all the conflict, Andrew went to the lawyer Miller, who had fought in court, to defend him. They shook hands politely, and when Andrew told Miller he had AIDS, Miller looked at his hands subconsciously. The next scene is that Miller is consulting a doctor, repeatedly confirming that AIDS cannot be transmitted through handshakes, "Even if you tell me no, but after a while I suddenly find out that I am infected, what should I do?" The doctor could not answer him. So I said, let's do a blood test. Miller left suddenly.
Attorney Andrew began a long road to litigating himself, and he looked up relevant regulations and cases in the library. The question he asked caught everyone's attention, and the administrator asked him if he wanted to borrow a dedicated room, which he insisted was no. Miller stood by, trying to bury himself behind the book. When he finally stepped up to make a clearance, he and Andrew had a very good conversation. I forgot how Miller was impressed. They started fighting side by side anyway.
It wasn't an easy battle, it never was. They're suing Andrew's former employer, a partner at Philadelphia's most powerful law firm, for firing him for discriminating against Andrew for being HIV-positive and gay. They were to prove that Andrew was a good lawyer and that he was competent for his job until he was fired, and they were to prove a causal link between Andrew's dismissal and his particular personal circumstances. They also have to prove Andrew's character so that his testimony can be considered true and valid by the court. The courtroom is where the evidence is presented. The court sessions and the quarrels are fascinating, but the episodes behind the court are equally intriguing.
Andrew told the family that you need to be prepared that anything in your life will be taken to court. They hug each other as a family, proud that Andrew is defending his rights. We are so strong because we have the never-absent love of our loved ones at all times.
Their case was broadcast on TV. The lawyer next to him said to Miller with an ambiguous smile, are you gay? In the supermarket, a young man came over and said to Miller, "I'm a law student. I saw your case on TV. Well done!" Miller was very moved and handed him his business card and told him to graduate You can find yourself later. How sweet and beautiful this scene is, they are not so isolated. But the young man asked again, "Can I buy you a cup of coffee?" Miller was stunned: "My wife is waiting for me." The young man smiled strangely, "I don't invite people to drink coffee casually." Miller responded Come here, punch him, "Do you think I'm gay?!" These two examples are enough to give a glimpse of the impact this case has had on Miller's life.
Miller was about to rehearse with Andrew for the court question and answer the next day, but Andrew asked himself some inexplicable questions, played his favorite opera again, and burst into tears as he sang. Just as the lights flickered, their faces alternated. In the flickering light, Andrew's face was intoxicated, and I saw a strong desire for life in his face. All he needs is the right to live on an equal footing with everyone, why is it so difficult. Maybe he has realized in his heart that he is dying soon, so he is so nostalgic about life.
Andrew did faint in the courtroom and has not stood up since. But they also won the case, and they conquered the jury with their evidence. One juror even said, tell me like I'm a four year old. That's Miller's mantra, and he's always trying to strip away all the pretense and get to the bottom of things.
It is said to be based on the first homosexual case in American history, and life is more dramatic than any novel. The progress of society is based on countless struggles and sacrifices. Each of us should strive to make life better.
