    that main juror speaking was the perfect red herring. the way he was smirking while the defendants were testifying really made me think he was on their side. it was nice reversal hearing him talk in the deliberations.

      well it's on-theme with the rest of the movie. denzel is homophobic, and he points out that their whole society is homophobic. that guy's facial expressions, you're right, point to him sharing the generalized homophobia, being disgusted by gay people. but like denzel he's still seeking to apply justice.
      there's a difference between the bigotry of cultural distance and the bigotry of wanting to use all institutions available against a target.

    I watched maybe two or three movies between 1981 and 2000. I never got to see this of a young Denzel Washington. His acting is so honest and endearing. You just have to love the guy. Tom hanks was young and he had to play a hard part, most probably out of character for him; but that is the job of actor. Thank you for posting. I suppose I should see the whole movie now.

      Right after the senior partners are served during a Sixers game in their corporate suite, they’re shown leaving abruptly and talking about defense strategy while walking down a hallway, and the partners learn then that one of them had suspected Andy had AIDS long before they sabotaged him which upset the others (1. Because it’s a weakness in their defense that can be exploited and 2. Because they obviously had expected him to say something to the other senior partners about it rather than hide it).

      I don't know what happened in this case specifically, but often in these situations the two sides will agree to a smaller settlement after trial rather than going through this process. E.g. they might take $1.5 million instead of the full $5 million as a compromise. It really depends on how risky the appeal is, how likely they are to get it reversed, etc.

      Spoken like someone who has never been on a jury and has no idea how the justice system works.
      Punitive damages cannot generally exceed a certain ratio of the compensatory damages except in extremely extenuating circumstances. This law firm almost certainly doesn't have 50 million dollars to pay in punitive damages, and the judge has the authority to overrule the jury's decision on amounts. This has happened countless times when juries think like you do.

    Philadelphia is a great example of how playing a good person usually gets you far more accolades than playing a bad person, especially an anti-gay bad person. Washington and Hanks were great, but Jason Robards was phenomenal, as evidenced by how much you just absolutely hated the guy.

    It is nice to think that the jury would stick so faithfully to the remit of their task - can't deny though, I never bought it. The distraction of an aids carrier who got infected through casual sex with a stranger in a porn theatre would have been too much, I felt. People would have just had sympathy for the defendants for not wanting to be around him and the virus.

      There was really no legit reason for the lawfirm to let Andy go. They couldn't have let him go simply because he was infected with AIDS. And if they'd have let him go for "performance reasons" the timing would have been awfully suspect anyways, so Andy would have still brought on a lawsuit.
      The lawfirm would simply have to wait until he became incapacitated, and then hire a new lawyer for his position. They'd also have to keep his insurance coverage until he passed.
