Philadelphia

Anybody seen that movie? I just saw it for the first time this weekend and WOW. Holy crap what a film.

For those of you who haven't seen it, GO NOW! But I'll give a summary for you. From the IMDB;

"When a man with AIDS is fired by a conservative law firm because of his condition, he hires a homophobic small time lawyer as the only willing advocate for a wrongful dismissal suit."

So you can imagine hilarity ensues right? Wrong. But it does make for an excellent movie. Scenes, like the one where Tom Hanks' character describes an opera that seems to describe his own plight, the court room scene where he is questioned about how he contracted AIDS and the end with Neil Young's "Philadelphia" elicit such strong emotional responses that I'm gonna have to watch this one a few more times.

Just a heads up to everyone.. I think Tom Hanks should get at least a nomination for best ctor at the Osacrs. There's a hint for you Academy!
