These two were magical together. Totally cried at the end, very beautiful film.

What always amazes me is the advent of the "triple cocktail" drug treatment regime. So many people had seen the disease run it course and knew exactly where it would lead.

And then to have this treatment be available and all of a sudden your life is handed back to you, seemingly overnight. It also makes you think about the character here of Andy. A couple years give or take, and he could have been saved. He just misses the window.

My uncle died of AIDS when i was 2. when he was diagnosed as HIV positive I hadn't been born yet but when I turned one he started suffering from skin lesions and pneumonia, so he preferred not to pick me up or kiss me, he just patted me on the head. my mother told me that once, a few months before he died, while he was caressing me, he was crying... he probably wanted to hug me like he did when I was a newborn and maybe he also knew that we would never see each other again but I'm sure that since the diagnosis no one had hugged him again without showing fear or disgust. I don't know what he felt but I know that I love him even now that he's not here, and I'm grateful to him for being affectionate with me even if I don't remember it

This is TRUE acting. Only REAL actors can pull this off. I love it!! Its like watching a great tennis match.

[stinger]

Tom Hanks is a great actor. Won the Oscar for best lead actor in this film. What I don't get is how Denzel did not get a nomination. Not even a mention.

[Efrenlm]

Who cares about awards. These guys kill this scene, two GOATS coming together to talk about discrimination.

[noahmijo]

That librarian is still the Joker’s number onnnneee!!

[Lalaxbo]

Philadelphia is one of the best movies ever made in the 90s and Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington did phenomenal performances in this movie 🎥. This movie really hit hard for me and it is an amazing movie .

[natyinthehouse]

Okay, but can we laugh at the fact that this librarian finds and hands Tom Hanks cases for discrimination for AIDS and then proceeds to discriminate against him for having AIDS

[montyduskin]

DENZEL SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR FOR THIS PERFORMANCE AND THE WIN !!

[mattturner]

The Librarian..."You're right, THERE IS A SECTION ON HIV RELATED DISCRIMINATION." About as subtle as artillery.

[jeanettearmstrong]

My mom had an hiv/aids support group in the 90s. I remember asking her how she stood so many losses. She said if I don't who will.

[Spearsy]

When he pushed the book over - I reckon that’s one of the most powerful moments in film

[thegreatselkie]

Still one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.

[moretoknowshow]

Tracy Walter is one of those great character actors who ive always said deserves more work.

[TracyW-mebr]

Oh man that familiar tug to do the right thing even when it’s going to cost you big. What is society without it?

[kampfer]

At this point Denzel's career is so goddamn long and stacked with great performances that this one seems to fly under the radar. It's one of his greatest though in my opinion

[calvindusava]

" A social death which precedes the actual physical one "😔

[waverlyphillips]

It's a terrible shame that we have not gotten more movies with these two working together. This is like Jordan and Bird. All you would need is some top-notch scriptwriters and these two, and it would be instant cinema gold.

[carsstuffchannel]

yeah, now i remember why I love 90s movies
