Philidelphia Review

            Throughout the film Philadelphia staring Tom Hanks, Andrew Beckett is discriminated against in his work place because he has AIDS. He gets fired from his job because of the fact he has AIDS. The movie also shows the everyday hardships a person with AIDS deals with. .
             Philadelphia shows that discrimination still exists in the United States and around the world. If someone is seen as different from everyone else, they are discriminated against. The majority discriminates against all the minorities. In Philadelphia, the gays and people infected with AIDS are discriminated against because they are seen as lesser and inferior to everyone else. Both are cases with Andrew Beckett. His peers at his law office are all Homo-phobic along with the lawyer the eventually gets over it and sees him as just another person. .
             Beckett goes through many hardships because of his disease throughout the movie. His physical features greatly deteriorate throughout the year. He is in very poor physical condition. The lesions also show what happens with people with aids. The medicines he has to take everyday just to survive and see another. Beckett knows that he doesn't have much time left and starts to go out and enjoy being there rather then worrying about his illness all the time. .
             I felt that the movie was very sad. When you see how many people must go through what Beckett went through on an average day, you feel sorry for them and all that they have to do just to survive, and how they are treated differently from people because of their disease. Overall it was a good film and got its point across to the viewer's of it.
