The last time I watched this was 20 years ago. It´is still one of the most powerfull movies, not only of its time, but in general. You can´t be nothing but impressed by Hanks performance for which he rightfully got an Oscar. I dare say this is the kind of movie Hollywood has forgotten how to do. Original content, great actors and sending a massage not by ramming it through your skull but by telling a compassionate story.

I've watched it. There are still lots of discrimination in the world. I would like to thank this movie for letting me notice something important. I can be one who is fair although it may be difficult. I want be so and I will.

Compelling performances by both Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. And to think I almost didn't watch this because the poster doesn't look like Hanks...

What do you love about the law, Andrew?

Andrew Beckett is a gay lawyer infected with AIDS, who in spite of being his law firm's rising star, is fired on a trumped up charge of negligence. Refusing to accept defeat, Andrew manages to enlist the help of homophobic lawyer Joe Miller, whom it's hoped More

Yet another of those movies I watched close to when it came out umpteen years ago, and only recently watched again.

For entertainment value, it hasn’t aged particularly well for me. I am not sure I can even describe why, except that it seemed to lack energy. There are a lot of good small moment More
