PHILADELPHIA (1993) | 'What Is This Case About'

In this powerful scene from Philadelphia (1993), Joe Miller (Denzel Washington) throws a curve-ball in the courtroom when he questions his witness' (Bradley Whitford) sexual orientation.

Hailed as a landmark film that dazzles with deep emotion and exceptional acting, PHILADELPHIA stars Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington as two competing lawyers who join forces to sue a prestigious law firm for AIDS discrimination. And as their unlikely friendship develops, their courage overcomes the prejudice and corruption of their powerful adversaries.

"With all due respect we don't live in this courtroom do we?" And the little smirk of approval by the judge was pretty subtle but good acting.

Denzel was immensely brave to take this role. He should have gotten another Oscar for best supporting actor.

Lol, the judge calls him to give an off-record bench explanation of what's going on, and he turns around starts giving a speech to everyone. Only in Hollywood courtrooms!

Denzel is outstanding in this movie..what a brilliant job he did.

“You’re gonna give the company to Eric? He is a bad, bad man.

As wonderful as Hanks is in this movie, Denzel Washington deserved a Best Actor Oscar.

Good thing Miller didn't ask Eric to define Business Ethics, he would have totally lost it. 🤣

A movie that helped us all to deal and understand the illness AIDS. The movie and both outstanding artists Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks helped us understanding the case HIV. God bless them therefore.

Andy tried to whisper to Miller that the witness wasn't answering the question. Miller winked as if to say "No problem; I'm setting his ass up."

And in the meantime, everyone seems to ignore the objection: "Mr. Collins' sexual orientation has nothing to do with this case." You cannot say the same about the firm's reasoning for firing Andrew Beckett.

The way andrew looked at him.wth such glorification like woww i picked a great lawyer...❤❤❤

[laminage]

There was a heavy unacknowledged Scene. Jamie didn't answer because he probably "is" and is scared to say so.

Would be great if in real life as an attorney, you could turn your response to objections to the judge, into a closing argument to the jury.

[SappyMu]

Denzel deserved an Oscar for this movie!

“I’m going to select some really powerful and moving clips, put them on YouTube, and then right when I want to cut the scene I’m going to pick out some of the loudest, obnoxious music I can find.”

A plan considered, and a plan followed through.

I love how Denzel character winks at time hanks when he tells him he's not answering the questions. Like I got this

[kimakotrotman]

[JeriDro]
