My mom had an hiv/aids support group in the 90s. I remember asking her how she stood so many losses. She said if I don't who will.
Young people today will never know or appreciate the significance of this beautiful film.
This library scene changed my life back in 1993. That a lawyer does his homework.
Whatever
Young straight people perhaps...
Facts
Young people have been through covid, they know what nonsense is
Okay, but can we laugh at the fact that this librarian finds and hands Tom Hanks cases for discrimination for AIDS and then proceeds to discriminate against him for having AIDS
@PHX2PDX only because the others were uncomfortable.
@@Stitchman3875
Anybody would be uncomfortable.
@@donarthiazi2443 I never was uncomfortable with the whole HIV/AIDS thing. As long as you know how to avoid it, there's nothing to worry about.
@@Stitchman3875
I never liked being around those people. I feel sorry for them, but it's still a dangerous situation.
@@Stitchman3875 you can say that now. Back then all people on the street knew was it was infections and it had no cure.
These two were magical together. Totally cried at the end, very beautiful film.
That librarian is still the Joker’s number onnnneee!!
The word after one is guy, “you, are my number onnnnneee…guy!
Bob, gun..
@@wiseauserious8750 this guy gets it….
He's also the one that gave Erin Brokivich the documents she needed to when her lawsuit against PG&E!
Was that really Bob?
Tom Hanks is a great actor. Won the Oscar for best lead actor in this film. What I don't get is how Denzel did not get a nomination. Not even a mention.
And Antonio....who people thought might suffer by playing a gay so early in his career. I think we've come a long way since then, as a society. He was great!
Denzel didn’t get an Oscar for the same reason he didn’t get it or the countless great performances before this..because he is BLACK…
The Director believed Denzel’s performance was too worthy of a supporting actor nomination. Unfortunately, he couldn’t be nominated along with Tom in the same category. He believed Denzel and Tom were both leading men so he didn’t submit Denzel’s name. Denzel talks about this in a few interviews.
@@Write662 Oh, that is horrible!
Hollywood was very different back then. Now the pendulum swings and people get awards simply based on their race regardless of talent
What always amazes me is the advent of the "triple cocktail" drug treatment regime. So many people had seen the disease run it course and knew exactly where it would lead. And then to have this treatment be available and all of a sudden your life us handed back to you, seemingly overnight. It also makes you think about the character here of Andy. A couple years give or take, and could have been saved. He just misses the window.
As so many people did, like Freddie Mercury. And this will happen with cancer also. There will be a time in rhe near future where we will think of all the people who only just missed the boat, because the cure came a month after their passing. In 15-50 years from now, cancer will be curable or at least a chronic disease, instead of a deadly one.
@@reallyjustme But there's multiple types of cancer, of various very different body parts, so it's unlikely 1 single cure would be effective against every type! More likely, a different cure would have 2 be developed 4 every individual type!
Denzel Washington’s performance by todays standards would have easily gotten him an Oscar.
Without a DOUBT
He was so snubbed for it… yet, it still marks a notable before-and-after in his career…
easily
Who cares about awards. These guys kill this scene, two GOATS coming together to talk about discrimination.
This is TRUE acting. Only REAL actors can pull this off. I love it!! Its like watching a great tennis match.
Philadelphia is one of the best movies ever made in the 90s and Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington did phenomenal performances in this movie 🎥. This movie really hit hard for me and it is an amazing movie .
The Librarian..."You're right, THERE IS A SECTION ON HIV RELATED DESCRIMINATION." About as subtle as artillery.
Librarian: Sorry.. It kind of echoes in this library🙄
@@Professor__S and you'll notice no-one said 'sshhhhhh!' 🤫
You are my number one guy
I WORK AT LIBRARY BUT IM ALL ABOUT LOUD, HIV GUY, RIGHT OVER HERE. THE GUY WITH THE HAT.
Oh for gawd's sake! Don't destroy our English language by misspelling words such as "discrimination!". Don't you have auto correct??
It's a terrible shame that we have not gotten more movies with these two working together. This is like Jordan and Bird. All you would need is some top-notch scriptwriters and these two, and it would be instant cinema gold.
Oh man that familiar tug to do the right thing even when it’s going to cost you big. What is society without it?
This is exactly the comment I was looking for! You can tell he was being tugged big time!
Exactly!!! If not for those decisions to do the right thing... What would society be indeed?
At this point Denzel's career is so goddamn long and stacked with great performances that this one seems to fly under the radar. It's one of his greatest though in my opinion
" A social death which precedes the actual physical one "😔
Tracy Walter is one of those great character actors who ive always said deserves more work.
I remember him when he played Bob the Goon in Batman and when he played a Fast Food Manager in Married to the Mob.
He’s definitely excellent at playing multiple roles
DENZEL SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR FOR THIS PERFORMANCE AND THE WIN !!
I was 16 when this movie came out, very aware of and sympathetic to the AIDS epidemic. Now at 46 I still bawl like a child when I watch this movie not just for its excellence on the merits but for the proverbial nostalgia of a bygone era in my life. Every generation has that. I'm thankful I was young at that point in time and for that fleeting decade between the fall of the Berlin Wall until 9/11 it seemed the zeitgeist had shifted to a more sympathetic, more enlightened mindset. I'd love to get just a moment of that back.
Saw this in the theater, at 1:30 the theater roared with applause.
The ending family film is the saddest thing I've ever seen.
The audience must have thought they were watching a live performance.
@@NameAC_yea. Why I never go to theaters. People applaud like director in studio
I saw this in the theater. At the time I didn't pick up on the symbolism of Andy wearing a hat with an African pattern on it while Joe recognizes he's being treated like a black man would've been treated in the Jim Crow era.
I bet he just found a "hat" that was in style at this time. He tried to fit in wearing it....camouflage his AIDS. Plus a busy pattern with colors might distract from his "ill" appearance. Beckett's character seemed otherwise conservative, artsy, cultured, so maybe he was out of his comfort zone picking a "hat". Or Miguel picked it!!
Looook. The first thing I noticed was the hat but did not get the connection . Shoutout to you
I kinda thought that was one of the more obvious subtleties from the scene. But we don’t all catch the same things at the same time. It’s certainly worth watching again and again as there is so much to this scene.
Denzel's face in that thumbnail tho. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did him dirty 😂
@akuabadoll7924Yes. Theres a longer version of this vid that shows him eating a sandwich of some sort.
@@theintrovertedaspie9095and you can see him chewing when it initially shows him
These guys should have won best actor and best supporting actor at the academy for this film
Tom Hanks did, but Denzel didn't. But he had won the prior year, for Glory.
That librarian always plays a mean guy.
He plays the unsung hero in Erin Brockovich
@@SheriPhaffArtPaintBrushed YES Exactly, without his character they never get the needed evidence documents.
Didn't he also play a professor in college on HOW HIGH
he plays a doctor in silence of the lambs... he's in the coroner's room with clarice and Crawford.
The wagon driver in "City Slickers", Bob The Goon in "Batman" and countless other roles. Good, old Tracey Walter.
Two amazing actors. This is one of my favorite scenes from the movie. I’m a lawyer.
Ride on, Anthony. 🤙
Objection!! Hearsay
@@rickmaldoo4205 request a sidebar!
Nobody asked you though
I agree. It maybe the best scene in the movie. Up until this point you’ve seen how Andy has been discriminated against even by Joe and then they end up talking about the definition of said discrimination by law and Joe starts to see past his bigotry.
Still one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
yeah, now i remember why I love 90s movies
Same here, no CGI for the most part, and they still shot on actual film
@@wiseauserious8750
Why would it be neccessary to CGI for this film?? 🤔
My mom had a friend that had aids. I miss him so much. He was sweet and very smart. I remember when I had my son and his dad was like don’t ever let that man hold my son. I was like excuse me and told him off. He was so ignorant. He acted like you can get aids by hugging and kissing on the check 😡. I grew up around him. We hugged a lot. I know I’ll see him again. Rip
Thanks for this clip. We've come a long way since 1993. (I'm negative- I mean, as a society.) I remember the signs in the high school bathroom, how terrified everyone was- This was an important movie
have we come a long way? Firing people for not getting vaccines and ostracizing them from society for not masking up. Making them eat/sleep and live away from you out of fear. Seems like were still on the same path.
the joker right hand was by far the best actor of that scene
I tell you this is a perfect example of how a black person who have been discriminated against all our lives can’t walk away from any person who is being discriminated against ❤️👍🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
5:45 how to be a great actor with your eyes only
Such a great movie. Should be noted that Denzel character probably was old enough at that time where going to law school he probably dealt with people walking away because he sat at their table
for a not-so-subtle movie, that was the idea here
Meaning there was very little diversity in law schools in the 80’s?
@@joewhitehead3 probably the late 60s since he's about 40 here with a baby and family
@@jamesmalik3355 I thought he was younger
@@jamesmalik3355 late 1970's. Denzel was born in 1954.
Beautiful movie - these two knock it out of the park
The movie was centered on Hank's character but it was Washington's character arch which made the story.
3 amazing humanitarian actor's. Thankyou ❤ Thankyou ❤Thankyou ❤
3:45, this is why you get a lawyer. They help fill the gaps an average person sometimes leaves open.
Brilliant acting
"Aids nobodys got Aids, I dont wanna hear that word again"
Denzel should had got a Oscar.
Yup he should of
Why does every good role require a trophy, he got paid, made millions, he got recognition, he did a great job. Now he needs a trophy? Stop with all the accolades and awards, they are actors, thats it.
@@tombryan1, Tom Hanks got one. He shouldn’t have received it. People that are great in any field get awards.. people can’t be awarded for expectational work?
@@jsdzxDenzel has won Oscars for other rolls. Whats the point here? Every damn movie he’s in is Oscar quality, as @tombryan9531 mentioned, everyone know’s he was good in this movie too and he was well compensated and recognized for it.
They it to Tommy Lee Jones.
The cinematography and editing is amazing
This movie had to be made..Thank you Tom..you freak me out man...😊
*GREATEST MOVIE OF MY LIFETIME!*
classic scene what a great movie.
Pretty unrealistic
oh gosh, I remember now, several years ago. I was getting treated for a hospital-induced case of MRSA at a popular northern virginia hospital that gave it to me during a surgery. And they put this man who was in horrible pain in my room. One night his family came in and was yelling at him to talk to him (he couldn't hear well) and tell him he had AIDS and they needed to sign a DNR order and lots of other stuff. I was in so much torment from the long conversations and other stuff going on, that I asked to be transferred. I didn't know how to help the guy, and I didn't have any tools to help him. And all of the family drama stuff was too much, along with the guy in constant pain. I don't know the relationship between AiDS and hearing loss though. My wife was with me at the time, she died 2 years ago from an aggressive breast cancer (5 months time).
I guess im gonna watch the whole movie just in short youtube clips
the clips don't show the whole story
Name Hanks best movie !!!!! All of them
who cares about the individual Oscar nomination albeit it opened up the opportunity for an everlasting speech - above all the movie is brilliant and a wakeup for many at the time - at least humanity has come a long way on this front
Just a movie where 2 dudes did a masterclass on acting
masterpiece!!
Such a powerful movie. Highly recommend watching it. 😊
The amsr is REALLY strong in this clip.
The equipment used for sound design in older movies was so different than the crisp, clear one we have now. Each are good in their own right but I do miss it
The thumbnail got me like 😂
This scene was not shot at the University of Pennsylvania's Biddle Law Library. I've studied there many times. Instead, the filmmakers chose the much more atmospheric Fisher Fine Arts Library, in the Furness Building on the Penn campus in Philadelphia.
I didn't know Scotty Kilmer was also a librarian
Lol
I didn't know you could eat in the library?
@@cashewnuttel9054 Clearly not. Why do you think Washington's character was trying to hide that he was eating?
@@cashewnuttel9054 I have eaten in libraries.
Rev up your immonosystem
Look at how young everyone was. But then again I was a baby when this came out. My Xer sister remembers hysteria around HIV.
2 GOATS
0:41 they got inspired for Devil In A Blue Dress… 😂 when Denzel gets his jaw broke from those gangsters 😂
Did people still think, even at this point, that you could easily catch AIDS like you would a cold or the flu?
yes
@@jwhitman2447 It’d been like over 5 years by this time since it had broken out. How did people not know yet?
@@joewhitehead3 A whole lot of ignorance, especially since it was concentrated in the gay community.
@@flyinghow Ignorance kept people from actually learning this info about the disease? & there’s hardly a great deal of it today, considering homosexuality has become much more accepted in society
Hell yeah. Especially since he was coughing. He’s showing symptoms of a deadly disease. Plus having HIV automatically made you gay. The public wasn’t sure about the information back then
This scene was shot at around 4:00 pm, and the discussion at the table between Tom's and Denzel's characters happened at 4:10 pm. How did I deduce that?
Great movie !
Wicked movie phenomenal
So what changed Joe's mind about helping Andy? It was unjust for sure what Andy was going though and he without a doubt had a case for discrimination. But i also tend to think that maybe he drew the parallel's between black racism and exclusion and Homosexual/AIDS fear that was very prevalent at the time.
I'm old enough to remember when AIDS was new and when being Gay was absolutely a death sentence socially for people. We've really come a long way since those days, of course nothing is perfect but this film was a huge achievement and eye opening into the humanity of people suffering with AIDS as well as showing that Gay people are still human beings like everyone else.
Joe did see the parallel’s and why he ultimately took the case, at first he was just looking at everything from a legal standpoint, but as the case went on and as Andrew and Joe continued to work together, Joe’s homophobia began to disappear as he continued to work with Andrew and see him for more than just his sexuality. It goes to show while it may be difficult to change someone’s perspective, it’s not impossible.
Yeah, the things that were unknown terrified everyone! I heard stories of a hospital in Ohio who burned 2 ambulances 🚑 because they’d transported AIDS patients in them!
I remember when I was in middle school somebody asked if I knew how to spell AIDS and after I did he said that was a swear word if I could go back and do that over again I'd probably knock him off his pedestal by pointing out what AIDS actually is
Denzel ❤
Bob....GUN!
❤ Tina. Scena INTENSISSIMA🤩🤩🤩🤩
Bob. Gun.
i understood that reference.
Bob was still reeling from those balloons being stolen. Then he regrouped and helped Erin Brockovich nail those bastards.
😂😂😂😂
"That is exacty what I would have done. Exactly." 🙂
John David Washington looks so much like his father in this movie.. I thought pauletta made him all alone til I saw this movie
Librarian looking like a grown up chucky
😂😂😂
Tracy Walters the librarian, he’s a very nice man in real life.
He looks like a nice guy indeed

O Hanks ficou muito parecido com o cantor do R.E.M😊
Michael stipe
Thought I was the only one who thought this, I couldn't stop thinking that the first time I saw this movie.
"On membership within a group with assumed characteristics" so generalization, yeah, but I would add "especially unwilling otherwise involuntary membership"
Well said.
Those were interesting times. A lot of paranoia and fear. Glad things progressed past it and people aren't stigmatized like that anymore.
Really? I mean, really?
Yes they are believe me
@@blackbutterfly4739 It will never stop. You know, I'm not gay, I don't have AIDS or HIV, I'm a heterosexuell woman. But there is something, that still makes me sick. And it will never end. That's not to let people live their own live, but stigmatize them. It's almost like the horrible treatment of animals. Everyone is like "Yeah! I'm so tolerant" but in fact, no one nowsx what he's taking about by saying this. I also can tolereate everything by closing my eyes. This movie is sooo old and it seems that so one learned from it. To let people live like they want.
Edit: I was upset, so ignore my orthography.
Yeah. We've come quite a way in 30 years. Still have a way to go, but it's definitely better.
Covid paranoia has entered the chat
0:29 LOL. Sorry, I find Denzel with his mouth full very amusing cos it looks as if his mouth has swelled up like a balloon.
he just took a bite out of his crunchy sounding sandwich in his hand, and was eating it slowly and, quetly.
@@AnastasiaSaenz Is it allowed to eat food at a library?
@@danielwilliamson6180Hes a lawyer. I think those people dont have a designated lunch break because of all their work and whatnot. So they basically wat. While they work, even in libraries.
@@theintrovertedaspie9095 All I said was I found it amusing!
I know, I was just explaining why he would be eating I the library. @@danielwilliamson6180
It's the guy on Erin Brockovich.
What I never understood about this scene was when Joe asks him how he goes from one of the partners noticing a lesion to them deducing he had AIDS and firing him on the basis of that conclusion and Andrew says “hmm, that’s a good point.” I am like, how would a lawyer not have thought about that? Isn’t that kind of the crux of what he would have to prove or explain in court? That’s a pretty basic question that, what, he just never considered until Joe asked him about it?
It's a movie, and you shouldn't really overthink it. Also, people are still human beings no matter what their profession is and can make mistakes and still overlook things.
For some odd reason due to the headline I thought joe would be talking to Andy dufrane. Smmfh @ myself
🤦♀️man dw, I thought it too
This is one of those movie coincidences that is totally unrealistic, but useful.
“Whatever, sir” is pleasant disrespect. 😅
Denzel played as good as Tom in this movie.
4.20 was when he decided
lot of folks in these comments could benefit from watching the entire movie + learning more about how HIV/AIDS has affected not just gay people but people as a whole over the past few decades
They’d benefit from a lot of education, but we know they won’t ever take the initiative to obtain it. They prefer ignorance.
Always wanted to know what he was eating.
Joker's number 1 guy Bob left Gotham and became a librarian!
They didn't pay him for the time he put in either. They broke the law right there, let alone wrongful termination and discrimination.
Can someone explain to me what the librarian was trying to do or say?
He was discriminating against him by trying to segregate him in a private room as if HIV/AIDS is catching.
@@winter_s_44 thank you so much.
He witnessed it. I am sure that’s why he took the case
Tom Hanks said, that he wouldn't do this movie again, as he wasn't gay and a gay actor should act in such a movie. I would say, if he wouldn't have act in this movie, nobody would know of this movie and how good it was and how brilliant the acting was. Tom Hanks is wrong.
They kind of dragged on that librarian didnt they
Was Denzel chewing ten gums ?
I can't believe how ignorant and cruel people are .
This happened to me when I contracted Covid......not really... but I might make a movie about my experiences
Covid is airborne, genius.
@loner1878 I'm aware, but well done anyway....I see that jokes tend to go over your head.
@@mlassz009 And the fact that a lot of people say that in seriousness goes over yours.
DW Stole the show in this film IMHO
This film was actually about the homosexuality. The AIDS part was the subtext
No, it was about the human condition.
Wasn’t it about all at once?
@@joewhitehead3 that's what they wanted you to believe.
This certainly mirrors recent behaviours of unfounded social discrimination , during a global event
Just say covid, why do you people need to turn everything into a dog whistle
Hunny, if AIDS spread like covid (airborne) a lot more people would be dead and isolation would have been a necessity.
I wonder if they will make a movie about covid
They already did.... And all of us starred in it...
Yes I have bilateral nerve damage thanks to covid both arms as they say I am part of the club nobody wanted to join
@@0U812FU Starred not started
Oh I don’t think I would enjoy watching2 hours of cry baby poopy pants anti maskers anti vaxxers on the big screen
Hard pass
Excuses. always excuses.
Kinda reminds me of the scare tactics they used in Covid
If somebody sneezed everyone freaked out
Because Covid spreads through airborne droplets, HIV does not.
The difference is, you CAN be infected with COVID-19 from touching something or breathing in air close to someone who has it. It’s an airborne virus, whereas HIV/AIDS is not. Everyone in that library was perfectly safe
Because sneezing spreads covid, ya genius. AIDS does not. Covid really exposed how Amrican education is lacking.
