Philadelphia is a movie about a respected lawyer"played by Tom Hanks" who is a homosexual man who develops Aids. Once his law firm finds out they fire him. Now he has decided to sue his law firm and hires a lawyer to do so played by Denzel Washington. Now let me first say Denzel Washington did a fantastic job. He really seemed like he had genuine feeling for Tom Hanks character. Also the way he presented himself through out the film was remarkable. I could easily see him being a lawyer. Tom Hanks did a great job in this film as well. During some of the scenes where he was becoming ill or when his illness was getting worse were very impactful. You could really see the emotion through the way he presented himself from scene to scene. Another thing good about this movie was the plot. It really wasn't a court room drama. This movie has heart to it and some really emotional parts. Because after you see the swells on his body you realize just how real it is and you begin to feel extremely bad for him. In conclusion this movie is good. It gets a 7 out of 10, its not quite perfect and some people may not enjoy it, but I strongly recommend you give a chance. So head over to your nearest library or block buster and pick up Philadelphia. It may not crack you top ten movies of all time but it makes for a good rainy day movie.
