Philadelphia is a movie released in 1993 as synopsis we can say that it is about a lawyer who works in a very prestigious law firm in a way the bosses learned that he suffered from AIDS began to notice sores on his face in parts of the body and that began the suspicion that he was sick the film begins in a court where our protagonist sues the firm for discrimination and seeks compensation for wrongful dismissal.

The 90s a very difficult time for the homosexual community where they had to literally hide in the closet and was not well seen demonstrations of affection between same-sex couples therefore our protagonist hid his relationship from his work seeing himself fired hires the services of a lawyer who quote homophobic to file a lawsuit against the firm for wrongful dismissal.

During the unfolding of the trial the ravages of the disease are becoming more noticeable so that our protagonist is increasingly physically deteriorated begins a close relationship with his defense attorney a married family man of color that deep down did not accept his lifestyle but over time getting to know him managed to put his ideas to open his mind to a new reality.

AIDS in the 90s was still a deadly disease today there are treatments where you can live your whole life with the disease controlled with antivirals is a virus that in those years caused many deaths and this film not only saw it from a medical point of view but also from a social posturist point of view the discrimination of people with AIDS. social discrimination of people with AIDS is at that time quite fierce the files of their work isolated them nobody dared to touch them because of the myths of the disease today is a controllable disease but there is still the contagion if it is not discovered in time can cause death.

It presented us with a rather critical view of how people acted towards patients or people suffering from the disease was tough at the time,
I can say that the performance of Tom Hanks in this film won him an Oscar for best actor, the process of the film is in the trial, the pleadings, the discussions, at work combined with the process of the disease in the end he wins his lawsuit, at that time homosexual couples had no rights over property, so they are situations that make you think.

It is a very well handled classic, it deals with delicate issues but with a great tact I liked how they were developing the plot by touching such a complicated subject.

The part I liked the most was when Andew ( the main character) was at home listening to classical music, he had a serum with his parallel he gets up gets carried away by the music turns until he falls, the symptoms more accentuated a sobering movie, with a great message of how to see a disease from the point of view of the sufferer, his feelings, his struggle, empathy is the most important thing.
