| Tom Hanks in Philadelphia |
 |
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.

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.
