I remember watching "Forrest Gump" when I was in college, and lamented how Tom Hanks could play a fool like a fool. I heard that he won the Oscar for best actor that year, and it was consecutive. what, consecutively? Bullshit like this! Which was it the year before? So I know the Philadelphia story. Later, it was delayed until it was made up until now...
This film is really old enough, Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington are still young meat! Especially the former, lean and thin, shaved with a brush, at first glance thought it was Justin Timberlake! Infinite nympho hahaha~
Okay, let’s get down to business, Tom Hanks’ character design is very lovable, he excels in the field of work, has a warm big family, a lover who accompanies him, and maybe it’s because he has a lot of love. , He who is gay & AIDS does not live by his promises. Even if he is fired by his boss when he learns of his illness, he bravely and actively stands up to defend his rights. He just wants to be treated fairly and justly, like a normal person, without mercy or discrimination.
Tears come at the end, Andrew's memorial service. Say goodbye rather than condolences. The people who love him are not sad, just get together, the children are chasing and jumping, the video of Andrew's childhood is playing on the TV, and the candles on the table beside are lit and quietly shining.
Only at this moment did I understand why the beginning of the film was a picture of the Philadelphia neighborhood: men, women, old people, children, black people, white people... Living as usual, no matter what kind of people, love and equality are enough. (PS: The music at the beginning and the end is very good, there is a sense of awe)
