Title: Philadelphia (1993) - Movie Trailer
Added: May 12, 2008

Duration: 3:3
Description:
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 homosexual 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.Cast: Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Roberta Maxwell, Buzz Kilman, Karen Finley, Daniel Chapman, Mark Sorensen Jr., Jeffrey Williamson, Charles Glenn, Ron Vawter, Anna Deavere Smith, Stephanie Roth Haberle, Lisa Talerico, Joanne Woodward, Jason Robards.Plot Keywords: Pennsylvania, City Name In Title, Philadelphia, Male Nurse, Gay Lead Character, Bigotry, AIDS, Gay Rights, Disease, Prejudice, Homosexual, Homophobia, Medical, Terminal Illness, Gay Slur, Political, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Blockbuster, Costume Party, Gay Interest, Hospital, Lawyer, Library, Mother Son Relationship, Trial, Sexuality.

Mar 26, 2012 - This film is incredibly intense and powerful. Got to love a film that advocates gay rights. This really reminds me of "In The Family". It's a film about a custody battle between a man and his partner's family after his partner passes away. It is another powerful film. Has anybody else seen it? I would highly recommend it bitty .com/GHfxfA

Apr 7, 2012 - Yes I will agree with that one. Missed out pointless quoting and "Thumbs up if you came here..." followed by a banal clause like the year or the videos most obvious association. Also, I like it when someone disagrees and gets told "why are you watching it then" which is a statement so stupid it does not need explaining
