Rating:  - cried like a baby
Total Tear Jerker!! I cry everytime I watch this movie cause it brings me closer to reality. I deal with people everyday with HIV/AIDS, and everyday I see people get treated like crap simply because they are sick. I would recommend this movie to anyone that has not watched the movie and knows someone with HIV/AIDS.
Rating: - Love this movie
I have all of tom hanks movies on dvd and i have to say that this one is one of my top 3 favorites.
Rating: - Excellent portrayal of Philadelphia
This is the only movie that I have watched this summer and has impacted me in such a positive way. Being away from Philadelphia has made me realize that I do have some love for the city and I wanted to see a movie that dealt with individuals living ...(read more)in the city of brotherly love. I saw it at blockbuster and rented it. The movie is awesome right from the beginning, where there is a display of different snapshots from the different communities in Philadelphia and Bruce Springsteen's song "Streets of Philadelphia". The movie not only depicts a very accurate picture of the city's atmosphere but also informs its viewers about the gay community in the city, something that I feel is not as present in Philadelphia compared to larger cities like Chicago or New York. The best part of the movie is that the film is based on a true story. The only reason why I did not give the film five stars is due to the fact that most of the movie takes place inside of a courtroom and after a while I became frustrated when the problem would not get resolved. I was also a little confused by the special features. I was not sure if the special features on the individuals protesting outside of the courtroom were real protestors or not. The extra feature made it seem like they were, but I was just confused. I recommend this film to everyone, but I also believe that it will be even more appreciated by those who have lived in the city itself. Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington also give great performances.
Rating: - Philadelphia
The first mainstream film to deal squarely with the issue of AIDS, Demme's groundbreaking "Philadelphia" is a profoundly moving drama that digs into the ethics of how society views gay men. Strong performances by Best Actor winner Hanks as the ailing Beckett and Washington as a city lawyer who comes to see his client's disease not as a scourge to fear, but as an opportunity for compassion, will not leave a dry eye in your den. This is an eye-opening film, and still tremendously relevant today, with a memorable title song by Bruce Springsteen.
