Philadelphia is touching and heartfelt
Philadelphia is a moving journey. A compelling look at AIDS and homophobia in modern society. Hanks gives an Oscar-winning performance as a man dying from AIDS, Washington matches him as a homophobic lawyer who gives him his day in court. Note to parents: The movie mostly contains gay slurs and plenty of homophobia. An appropriate family film with a good message.
