Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks), a gay lawyer infected with HIV, is fired from his conservative law firm in fear that they might contract AIDS from him. After Andrew is fired, in a last attempt for peace, he sues his former law firm with the help of a homophobic lawyer, Joe Miller (Denzel Washington). During the court battle, Miller sees that Beckett is no different than anyone else on the gritty streets of the city of brotherly love, sheds his homophobia and helps Beckett with his case before AIDS overcomes him. Hope you like it!! Music: Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia (I own nothing)

Questo film mi ha straziato il cuore. Ancora oggi,a distanza di anni da quando lo vidi,se sento questa canzone o anche solo la parola Philadelphia,mi viene da piangere. Tom Hanks,in questo film,ha superato se stesso:ha veramente strameritato l'oscar. Fantastico film:dovrebbero darlo almeno una volta all'anno sulle tv nazionali.Molta gente avrebbe da imparare qualcosa da questo film. Ma forse chi non ha occhi per vedere, ne orecchi per sentire e tanto meno cuore per amare non può capire.A Freddy

discrimination due to an illness as any discrimination in life is a bad thing and I am sorry for anybody who experiences that
