I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I was quite eager to check it out again. To be honest, I always had some mixed feelings about this flick. Indeed, on one hand, Jonathan Demme is a fine director and Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks provided also some solid performances. Especially for Tom Hanks, it really launched the 2nd phase of his career. Indeed, so far, Hanks was successf... read more

extremely touching movie - deals with the whole sensitive issue very well. The Springstein song on the OST was the track of 1993 - whole video is at the end of the film titles.

“(OK) Demme tiene el ritmo y el tono justo, los actores impecables, incluyendo a Robards con el diálogo y risita perfecta de inmenso abogado conservador, se evita el maniqueismo pero se incurre en licencias algo cursi. La secuencia de Hanks extasiado con la ópera, fuuero de lo forzado y estreotipado, funciona gracias a Washington” read more

“Los noventas fueron el boom definitivo de la inclusión queer en el cine. La mayoría cree que los dosmiles tuvieron la mayor parte de la torta en estos temas, pero lo cierto es que esta época solo remató lo que se venía construyendo, más en Estados Unidos, un lugar en donde el conservadurismo siempre se mostró en ‘’batalla’’ con muchas cosas. Y acá un referente del que no mucho se menciona hoy en día.

Philadelphia en un inicio se presenta como la vida cayéndole arriba a un homosexual por sus múltiples descuidos en lo que sería lo que le entra por el esfínter (el ojete para los amigos), más se refuerza esto con la aparición de este abogado interpretado por Denzel Washington, quien es puesto como alguien firme en sus ideas contra esta corriente sexual.
