Philadelphia (1993) - Movie Trailer
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.Cast: Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Roberta Maxwell, Buzz Kilman, Karen Finley, Daniel Chapman, Mark Sorensen Jr., Jeffrey Williamson, Charles Glenn, Ron Vawter, Anna Deavere Smith, Stephanie Roth Haberle, Lisa Talerico, Joanne Woodward, Jason Robards.Plot Keywords: Pennsylvania, City Name In Title, Philadelphia, Male Nurse, Gay Lead Character, Bigotry, AIDS, Gay Rights, Disease, Prejudice, Homosexual, Homophobia, Medical, Terminal Illness, Gay Slur, Political, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Blockbuster, Costume Party, Gay Interest, Hospital, Lawyer, Library, Mother Son Relationship, Trial, Sexuality.

I just found this movie on DVD at Costco for $6.99, so I bought it. I couldn't resist. It's that good of a performance.

What a performance! Tom Hanks won his first of 2 consecutive "Best Actor" Oscars that year (1993). He won the following year (1994) for Forrest Gump, which was also an amazing performance. Tom Hanks is in my opinion one of the greatest actors ever to walk the planet, and he should've won more "Best Actor" Oscars for his numerous other fantastic performances that he's done as well. What an actor...
