Denzel Washington says

AIDs and gays. In the movie, the talented lawyer played by Tom Hanks was framed and fired by a law firm because he was gay and had AIDs, and embarked on his path of rights protection.

The lawyer played by Denzel is a lawyer with a very legal thinking, that is, a sense of justice. Even if he hated gay at first and thought gay sex was disgusting, he still defended him because he saw When Tom was discriminated against in the library, the sense of legal justice in his heart began to tell him that he should be helped.

What Denzel is telling us is that whether you accept or not accept a class of people, all their rights cannot be violated by you anyway. If you agree with this argument, then the next question is, how many rights does homosexuality have? And should they have the same rights as heterosexuals? If you agree, please continue, then they should not be discriminated against and treated unfairly.

Similarly, should AIDs patients do the same? Should disabled people do the same? Should transgender people do the same? . . .

In the film, Denzel was gradually convinced by Tom's charisma. In the opera, he saw a man who loved life. So he tells us that no matter what label a group is labeled with, the individuality of the individual is always something that this label cannot express. Too many people are confined to the unfounded beliefs they accept, such as men can only be with women, how can two women have sex, how can a woman be orgasm without a man, such as gay=AIDs, such as homosexuality is contagious Yes, for example, sexual orientation is optional. I've always wondered how could there be some kind of evaluation without knowing it? If not for prejudice, ignorance or discrimination, these people must be masters of "foreseeing the unknown".

Of course, in the end, the lawsuit was won and a high price of five million yuan was awarded. The life of the lawyer played by Tom also came to an end. So why the "big fanfare" rights protection? Because there is no right or rights are deprived and violated, because we always hope that the world can understand that there is such a "small group of people", we need everyone's understanding, support and tolerance, and we need everyone's rationality - accidental rationality, slowly acceptable "Diversity" of human beings, if they cannot accept it, can at least rationally respect their rights.

I often feel that people have a short life and are very limited. They are tolerant of others, understand others, make others happy, and benefit themselves.

Philadelphia quotes

  • [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."
