On the other hand, it evokes the importance of the primal elements, how important it is to be healthy and happy. Why does it make sense for people to be alive? It's that people live with hope, right, and can face many unknown surprises or sadness, and these are rights that people with terminal illnesses can no longer enjoy, and they are sad, in that they are able to predict how long they will survive in the world, and this is very scary, especially for people who are risk averse by nature, and want everyone to be able to perceive the meaning of life, the most important thing.
The Philadelphia Story Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks joint interpretation of the Philadelphia story, the first time to find a third black man with taste in addition to Will Smith, Kobe, Tom Hanks for me is the quality of the film.
The plot of this story is actually quite simple, tom who was illegally fired from his job because he has AIDS is still trying to defend his power. This is something that is very hard to comprehend in my cultural definition, knowing that he has a short life ahead of him, why doesn't he just let go of everything and enjoy life and cherish the people around him, when in fact, that's the thing that he can't let go of or give up for him. That's how, through one scene, he warms the hearts of everyone in his struggle, and makes everyone think about what's right and what's wrong; what's reasonable and what's nasty.

The significance of the reality of "The Philadelphia Story" is that if a phenomenon really exists in society, then the issue obviously has meaning. In the movie, the phenomenon would have been similar to opening an egg and having the probability of getting a double yolk, and in the same way there would have been a small number of people in the population because of illness or homosexuality. Because of the occurrence of various minority phenomena in the society, they are discriminated against by the society in general, which in itself does not have any meaning, but just a generalized inferiority complex or indifference that leads to this kind of problem. But once the underdogs win, the universals look as bad as if their cheeks had been ripped off, because it is their pity, inferiority complex and indifference that has been ripped off!
The protagonist, Andrew, is a very outstanding lawyer in Philadelphia. He graduated from a prestigious university, and he is a quick thinker and proficient in law, and he used to have a smooth sailing in his career, but because he is also a homosexual, he, like other "gays", frequents various venues exclusively for gays and lesbians from time to time to find happiness for himself. He is also a gay man, like other gay men. Unfortunately, he gets AIDS, a deadly virus that, as we all know, has a very high mortality rate and, in the era in which the protagonist lives, the fact that he has contracted this disease because of his own "bad behavior" has another meaning: you will be abandoned by society. So when his bosses find out that he has AIDS from the scars on his face, they use subterfuge to fire him from the company. Andrew learns the real reason for his dismissal that night, and you can imagine his despair, but he's not going to give up, and after visiting nine law firms and not being able to find a lawyer who will help him with his wrongful dismissal case, he goes into Joe's (our second male lead) firm. But like most people, Joe is initially disgusted by AIDS (especially because of "homosexuality"). He despises homosexuals as social deviants and immoral insects, and refuses to fight for them. So Andrew has no choice but to leave in despair, but when the camera gives him a long time to go out and look for his eyes on the street, I began to realize that I was wrong, what shines in his eyes is not despair, but "resilience", is hope. By this point in the movie, the audience's appetite is already very much whetted, and the audience is eager to know how the protagonist will deal with this desperate situation. Unsurprisingly, Andrew is indeed a man who refuses to give up, and he sits in the library alone to look up the legal provisions on the protection of homosexual rights, and perhaps there is a constant belief in his heart: I'm just the same as the rest of the world, and I'm not different in any way. In addition, I think it is intentional that the movie is set in Philadelphia, the place where the Declaration of Independence was signed, and that the main character, who happens to be a lawyer, is a member of the American judiciary, which means that he wants to say something about the American judiciary. In fact the point of the case was not whether the manager's firing of the employee was illegal, but rather that his supervisor fired him because of discrimination against people with AIDS. What really moved me was not that the rights of the AIDS patient were finally protected, but that the protagonist was able to say "I'm ready" at the end. He knew that he would die before the end of the trial, but he still tried his best to fight for his dignity, and this kind of conviction and persistence touched me the most. The movie does not put too much ink on the main character's personal feelings, nor does it describe how to win the lawsuit to get compensation, on the contrary, these episodes are just a one-off, focusing on highlighting the reason why Andrew can sit down. So where does Andrew's faith come from? The answer is simple: love. Not only from his "partner", but also from his family, his parents, his siblings ...... Without their support and encouragement, Andrew would not have had the courage to go to court and pursue his rights. Love is the theme of this movie and the reason why the director wants to blend him into social issues. AIDS is not scary, what is scary is being abandoned and losing love after getting sick. When the world ignores you, when you lose your job, when you are misunderstood, the emotion from your family and loved ones will support you to the end. The song "Philadelphia" at the end of the movie and the scene of Andrew playing as a child in the background are faraway and profound....... Then please believe in the power of love, because he will bring you the courage to live. With love, the rift valley will eventually become a road; the loss of love, you will be difficult to walk...
The Philadelphia Story is a movie directed by Jonathan Demi and released in 1993. Tom Hanks won the Academy Award for Best Actor at the 66th Academy Awards for this movie. In the movie, Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks) is a successful attorney who has a good relationship with his boss and has been promoted to partner at the firm. However, when his boss, Charles, discovers that Andrew is gay and has AIDS, he sets out to fire him. To get justice, Andrew finds John Miller (Denzel Washington). But after learning that Andrew has AIDS, Miller rejects him, fearing that he will infect his newborn daughter with the virus. After learning about AIDS and homosexuals, Miller decides to take Andrew's case and eventually wins it for Andrew.
The Philadelphia Story is a lawsuit against AIDS discrimination and anti-gay discrimination, as well as a discussion and reflection on discrimination. The name of the movie, Philadelphia (Philadelphia), is the name of a city in Pennsylvania, USA, which originally means brotherly love, hoping that people can be friendly and *** enjoy brotherly love. Philadelphia is also the place where the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were drafted and signed, and has always stood for freedom and equality. The story of the movie takes place in Philadelphia, a city known for its equality and brotherly love. People preach freedom, equality and love, but in 1993 Philadelphia, prejudice and discrimination are still everywhere in life. The irony of the discrimination against the protagonist, Andrew, is evident in the fact that he is at odds with the city's professed values.
In addition to the obvious discrimination against AIDS and sexual orientation in 20th century America, The Philadelphia Story also shows, in many of the movie's details, a variety of other discriminations in society-ethnicity, gender, and skin color, to name a few. In the movie, women mostly appear as assistants, and most of the successful lawyers are played by men, which invariably shows the sexism in the workplace. On the witness stand, a black woman, Anthea Burton, says that Wheeler (Andrew's partner) commented that her earrings were too "tribal" and suggests that Anthea should wear plainer, smaller, more American earrings. People talk about ethnic equality, but there's always a hint of ethnic discrimination in the way they talk and act. Of course, Anthea wittily counters this implicitly discriminatory language by saying that her earrings are American, "Afro-American". The United States is a multiracial immigrant country, has been promoting multiculturalism, this with "tribal color" earrings just reflect the mainstream values of multicultural tolerance **** survival. In the movie, this phenomenon would have been similar to you open an egg, there is a probability of coming out of a double yolk egg, the same crowd will have a small number of people because of disease or homosexuality. Because of the occurrence of various minority phenomena in the society, they are discriminated against by the society in general, which in itself does not have any meaning, but just a generalized inferiority complex or indifference that leads to this kind of problem. But when the underdogs win, the generalized people look as bad as if their skin had been ripped off, because it is their pity, inferiority and indifference that has been ripped off.
Philadelphia is actually quite a deep piece, reflecting a lot of real social issues in the US at the time
Such as homosexual ah, discrimination against homosexual ah, AIDS ah, discrimination and indifference to AIDS ah, non-public-positive treatment of people of color ah
Synopsis: The main The story is about a lawyer, Andrew, who suffers from AIDS because of homosexuality, and his boss finds out that because of his inner fear and dislike, he designs to fire him for his work mistakes, and Andrew, who was fired, is determined to defend his rights by resorting to the law and eventually wins the lawsuit story.
The movie reflects the reality: (1) everyone has the meaning and value of existence, the pursuit of happiness and the right to live, can not be due to individual reasons and some of the unfortunate and with a discriminatory attitude, we should be kind to everyone, so that the society becomes more beautiful. (2) Andrew was at the end of his tether when he was seeking help, but he did not give up on himself and still insisted on appealing positively because he believed that fairness is never late. Therefore, people can only live, whether in good times or bad, as long as they have faith and work hard for it, I believe there will be a good ending as a reward. (3) In fact, the family will always be the strongest backing, they will be in your most helpless time, to give you help and rely on, when you are aggrieved, to give you tolerance and support, so that, to cherish the present affection and companionship, do not wait until after the passing of the only know to cherish once have, delusion compensation to leave regrets.
The movie is such a wonderful thing. In today's era of reading, it is no longer just a commercial entertainment tool and a means of political propaganda, but an emotional carrier that can carry heavier propositions and thoughts. Today's movie people, if they can only continue to work on flashy production methods, but ignore what really touches the heart, and even think of moving people's classified emotions rigidly packaged into the selling point of earning tears, this can only create gimmicks, the lack of filling the emotional and thought-provoking details.
Take, for example, what I felt today in the movie The Philadelphia Story. Bypassing the stars, ignoring the big directors, and abandoning all the film editing techniques that belong to a movie, the movie itself has a point of view and attraction, which is attached to its reflections. And these thoughts are attached to a certain smile, a certain look, or an offhanded line set in the plot. What moves people is not the dramatic conflict, but the true feelings.
How do emotional moral taboos and rational legal justice affect individuals and human society as a whole? Throughout the film, from the beginning to the end, in every emotional shot, there is always a reflection on human behavior and an assessment of the development of social civilization. The end of the movie is not so much a conclusion as it is a psychological consolation and an explanation to the audience whose hearts have been hanging in suspense for nearly two hours. The questions and thoughts hidden behind the picture are still not over. Or rather, the collision of morality and law is still not over
