The Hollywood production facing AIDS and homosexuality is not only an attitude, but also a masterpiece!

How many good movies has Tom Hanks made? I love such a solid storytelling, smooth plot, and three-dimensional characters! Both leading actors have contributed excellent performances. Tom Hanks handles the front and back transitions of the characters in a natural and believable manner. Every expression and every breath belongs to the character, to the once promising young lawyer. Denzel Washington has long heard his name but never watched his work. Quiet but very immersive. Each of us may have been unfamiliar and fearful of homosexuality and AIDS like him, but not everyone can stand up like him and speak out bravely for what he believes in, even if he is still afraid and worried, But will bravely stand in front of Andrew and give him a hug. Andrew's family are amazing!

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."
