Philadelphia (1993) - Movie Trailer
Filed Under (Video, movie) by Admin on 28-08-2009
With Hanks, who is always watchable, and Washington, who has also got a very good track record, this film was destined to be fantastic but not even I, who always has an optimistic view when it comes to movies, was ready for the impact that this film made. Tom Hanks excelled even himself with his performance as an AIDS striken ********** who is fired from his job simply because of his condition. It is Hanks, by himself, who makes the whole scenario in the film believable. Although this is Hanks’s best performance of his career, he is very closely followed by Denzel Washington who gives a perfect performance as the only lawyer who will take on the case although he is a homophobe himself. The emotional strain of the film on the audience is immense and in the later stages of the film it is almost impossible to watch because of that. The make-up which gives the impression that Hanks really does have the terrible disease is perfect and the simple yet striking direction from Jonathan Demme(The Silence Of The Lambs) make this utterly compelling viewing although at times it is very uncomfortable. All praise to everyone in the making of this beautiful film.

denzel washington and tom hanks. 2 awesome actors in one awesome movie!
‘Back of the bus’ refers to how black people prior to the civil rights movement were forced to sit at the back of a bus becuase they were second class citizens. Obviously the character is using this analogy to say she doesn’t want her son to think he is a second class citzien because he is *** or a PWA.
someone smart please help me
someone want to chat bm
are you taking the **** or are you actually this stupid?
2:31 WHAT A CUTE BABY.
injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
IT pretty obviously refers to the Rosa Parks incident. She was a woman who was black and because of the time blacks were forced to sit in the back but she was the first to take a stand and refused to move from the front. Its just talking about descrimination and how you should be able to sit where you want no matter race or sexual orientation
Yea based on a true story
lol but only rebels sit at the back of the bus =] ?
It Means that she doesn’t want her kid do take crap because he has a issue. Like If a kid is shy nobody wants to be around him so he sits in the back of the bus.
Interpretação magnifica de Tom Hanks.
“I didn’t raise my kids to sit in the back of the bus.” 1:38

Dont forget about Castaway Realtime88, that was a fantastic movie.
I know how you get AIDS. And I hope you rot in hell someday for your thoughts because you have so much **** in your heart I don’t think anyone can change you.
You don’t have to be *** to get AIDS, I just wasn’t ready to see Hanks playing a *** role. To you being homophobic might be sick, to me having sexual relationship with a person of the same *** is sick. I’m sorry but that’s just how I feel and no one can change that.
