A very touching and sad story about AIDS and gay rights during the late 80s and early 90s. This story which stars Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington also is about a court case between a law office and one of its employees, Andrew Beckett (Hanks), a homosexual conflicted with AIDS and who was fired from his job after the virus took full notice.

This story is incredible and the ending was so sad that I teared up.

A great story and I believe Denzel Washington should have at least got a nomination for his work in this film.

I can't believe how touching this film is. A homophobic lawyer and his client who is gay. The case involves the client's employment termination due to his illness of AIDS which was a result of his sexual preferences. A very sad and moving story that has to be experienced.

Philadelphia, I give you a 100%.
