this is my favorite aria. this is maria callas. this is "andrea chenier", umberto giordano.this is madeleine.
she's saying :
how during the french revolution, a mob set fire to her house, and her mother died... saving her. "look, the place that cradled me is burning." can you hear the heartache in her voice? can you feel it, joe? in come the strings, and it changes everything. the music fills with a hope, and that'll change again. listen... listen..."i bring sorrow to those who love me." oh, that single cello! "it was during this sorrow that love came to me." a voice filled with harmony. it says, "live still, i am life. heaven is in your eyes. is everything around you just the blood and mud? i am divine. i am oblivion. i am thegod... that comes down from the heavens, and makes of the earth a heaven. i am love!... i am love."

This is one of very few scenes in movie history that no-one will ever forget. A starlight.
How to not cry when hearing Maria , she directly attack your heart deeply .
One of the best scenes in movie history imo. Hanks does the talking here, but for me, it's Washington who makes this work saying nothing, just expressing his face.
A masterclass all around but particularly Denzel Washington who with simply facial gestures shows us in that moment that he finds his humanity. Kudos to all.
Especially in the sequence of his eye expressions...
All you need: 4 minutes to persuade someone to love Callas and opera. The writing, cinematography, and acting in this clip are as great as anything, but it is Denzel, playing the traditional role of the lady-in-waiting, represents the audience and as a result, he becomes us. As his eyes fill with tears, and the camera closes in on him, he understands, and we understand. How fortunate am I to have seen her in 1966 in her return as Tosca.
That is a wonderful memory to have. I can’t personally say that I have had any parallel
experiences, though will one day I hope watch a Radiohead show….
😅
One of the great moments in movies.
This scene would never be possible with another voice
God, I loved this scene. How emotionally open Tom is in basically teaching Denzel how to appreciate opera. He doesn’t have to hide his lifestyle, what he loves, who he loves… and Denzel is drinking in the parallels of the opera with this man who has become a very unlikely friend… just beautifully done.
During my childhood and youth, I hated operas, but "La Mamma Morta", sung by Maria Callas in Philadephia flashed me totally. I searched for a cd with this aria, listened to it and till now, I love Maria Callas and many, many other operas especially italian and french ones. Such a great movie, too!
Ditto
I've had exactly the same
Tom Hanks has been given a gift as an actor that elevates the depth of his understanding of the beauty of his characters. So blessed that I am alive to witness his masterful acting..
What a life changing scene for all.Absolute class
this must be the greatest combination of actor and opera from hanks and callas
You forgot to mention writing
I saw this movie in the theaters in 1993, after the movie, a friend who had also watched the film, invited me to his home, he made amazing dinner and during dinner, he disclosed he had AIDS, he died within a month, it was terrible to see him fade away so fast. His name was Eddie.
Eddie is alive because you remember him so well
Greatest synergy: Callas singing and Hanks performance. It makes cry.
Two truly grand masters and geniuses of American acting. Denzel and Tom. Wow. Just wow.
Tom Hanks’ performance in this scene was perfection. Love you & thank you for sharing your gift with us!
Such a heartbreaking scene and yet beautiful at the same time, Tom Hanks was outstanding in Philadelphia he deserved the best actor oscar his performance in this film.
Лучшая часть фильма. Просто до мурашек
Most powerful part of a move in my lifetime!
Maria Callas !!!!!!!♥️♥️♥️
La mamma morta (Maria Callas) ist für mich das allerbeste Lied aus dem ganzen Film " Philadelphia " und es ist auch die beste Filmszene aus dem ganzen Film finde ich! Die Stärke die alles ändert - nach dem ganzen Herzschmerz - Denzel und Tom in schauspielerischer Höchstform. Berührend. Grandios! Danke, das Sie das gepostet haben, vielen Dank!
Beautiful scene, excellent interpretation of Maria Callas
The most emotional scene ever in a movie. Brilliant!
20 yrs later it still wrecks me
Excelencia, sutil, bello…..
Denzel's acting doesn't get a lot of mention.It takes a lot of spiritual fortitude to look into a camera and reveal things about yourself that others also find.I think all the elements were just right for the scene to work.The use of Callas to underscore the power of the moment is just pure genius.
I thought that very thing when I saw the movie right after it was released. Washington did a spectacular acting job in that scene. Since I initially saw it, I've often wondered how much of it was acting skill, and how much of it was truly from his soul. And yes...who ever had the idea of putting this scene together...with THIS aria...was/is a Genius.
M McCartney Yes, Denzel Washington is a remarkable actor. His eyes, for example, are incredibly expressive. They seem like mirrors reflecting Hank's performance.
I agree. :)
Thank you Maria Callas....thank you Tom Hanks. This movie/passage/message will be engraved in my memory for the rest of my life. Simply mind-blowingly beautiful..... Tears role down my cheeks every time I see or hear this passage. THANK YOU.... And of course thank You Umberto Giordano.....
Thank God, I did Not know this was based on a true story, the first time I saw this film. A true masterpiece in every manner possible!!!
It was a great movie! the plot is very strong. but with a spectacular performance. I suffered it...... But I loved it! congratulations to so much talent. 💕👏🏼
merci pour ce moment merveilleux qui donne des frissons
Callas, her life was not easy. In my mind that translates to her singing.
The best soprano ever! Maria Callas! This scene is the best scene of the movie!
aahaha no
Omg I agree. I will never forget it, so emotional and such an important part of the movie. It also made me fall in love with Maria's amazing voice. Wow.
Tony agrees
Beautiful scene , excellent aria
Well, I already liked opera, but this scene made me LOVE opera.
Before this movie, I haven't known this aria. Before this scene, it was just another scream. This made both denzel and me hark and tear.
Brilliant allround
great acting Maria Callas perfect x
Inolvidable esta escena. Maravillosa música
Most beautiful performance from Tom Hanks!
#OTD in 1993 Tom Hanks played Maria Callas’s recording of ‘La mamma morta’ for Denzel Washington at the premiere of _Philadelphia_ 🌹🌹🌹
Emotiva interpretación de Hanks y Callas
Powerful!
La mamma morta nel film riesce a tirare fuori tutto il bello e drammatico del momento in un acuto mirabile.Stupendo
The Best aria....is oh caro banbino mío....excent voice excelente músic...María callas excelen woman
Que voz!!!Divina! IA performance de Tom Hanks fabulosa....
How perfectly Tom Hanks describes the song of Maria Callas to Denzel Washington and showing all the emotions in it 😢.
Beautiul
this scene is heartbreaking, my god, it's making me cry ,I feel so angry how tom hanks got treated in this film! its upsetting for me, I just want to take him home and take care of him, show support and look after him xxx
I fully undestand what you are saying, and I emphasize with this kind of human gesture towards another human being, but I also see the role portraied by Tom Hanks as an extremely strong man right until his last breath, who would hate to be "molly-coddled". But I know what you mean, and I am in tears through most of this film every time i see it. I've seen it at least ten times now, and everything just makes for a perfect movie, as if they were created for this very moment in the history of cinema. The music by Neil Young, Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen, Maria Callas that was used in this movie (some created for the film, other just used because it was so fitting), were all chosen with utmost perfection. They hit a nerve in me every time I listen, and every time I hear those songs I recall the same scenes from the movies and tears well up in my eyes.
Many actors are underappreciated in this particular film. Especially the role of Denzel Washington, but also the roles of Antonio Banderras as his fiancee, Jason Robards as the cynical lawyer, Mary Steenburgen as opposing counsel, and the tiny but wonderfully cast role by Joanne Woodward as his mother. They all did an amazing job at keeping this movie a masterpiece - as did of course Jonathan Demme who made them perform their very best. Jonathan Demme is truly versatile. Not many years between this and another masterpiece of his in a very different genre: "Silence of the Lambs".
But I agree with you - the acting in this movie is so convincing you really feel the emotions of all the actors and you feel how they make you care for these people in need and despair. Well said!
Escena que se quedará en mi memoria por el resto de mi vida. Dirección/Actuacion/Intérprete 👏
Both brilliant actors look at their faces
i love this movie always!
Wow! Stupendous.
Fantasztikus jó film nagyon tetszett fantasztikus szereplökel és ez a rèsz csodás Éva
I'm imagining a reverse of this scene. Imagine a movie where Denzel Washington portrays an AIDS patient unfairly terminated from his job and that Tom Hanks plays his attorney. Hanks visited Denzel who is listening to rap. He asks, "Do you know rap?" Hanks says, "I can't say i do." And then Denzel explains each passage to him.
Per me questo pezzo è assolutamente il più emozionante del film (bellissimo) e con un grande Tom Hanks!
i love it . C'est mon film préféré !!!!! mERCI
My favourite movie of all time.
All my hair standing. (I hope this is the correct expression.) ♥️
Attori, musica, soprano SUBLIMI!
L'émotion à l'état pure
Tom certainly brings out aspects of the character's innocence in this role. Had any other actor been casted it would, like in any work of great art, changed it substantially, to the point of failure. The film is as much about justice and responsibility as it is about AIDS and those stigmatized. In one central scene in the film, the judge dismisses any notion that Hank's character suffers from discrimination while on trial. It is then the judge is reminded that the people present at the trial "don't live in this court room".
Una de las mejores escenas que he visto en mi vida...
....hearing and hearing and hearing only!!
I've only cried while watching a movie twice -here and the beachhead, landing scene is Saving Private Ryan.
Imagine what the scene would have looked like if the aria was from _La Wally_ which thematically is more relevant than _Andrea Chénier_ in its depiction of an outcast.
has tom hanks won an award...he is a beautiful actor..
Yes! In fact, he got an oscar for this role. This scene is amazing.
+crystal s Two in a row.
this movie was very good (if somewhat condescending view of gays)--but with this scene it transcended something much finer--the empathy of the title character with the outsider opera character---an identification. fantastic writing, cathartic and wonderful acted by Mr. Hanks.
Hanks is wonderful but I think direction is what made this scene.
And the divinity of Callas
@@kassios And Washington's face...says nothing but his expressions say a lot. That's class acting.
🧡.
What a true genius Tom Hanks was in this scene....so sad he renounces this role over wokism garbage...
So true!
Thank You !!
Ni la immediatesa de la nostra mort, pot arribar a aturar el sentiment de força i emoció que s'experimenta amb les notes d'una melodia, quan aquesta ens arriba en el mes profun de la nostra "anima", i es llavors, quan aquest sentiment es transforma en ràbia i pena, no perque ens hàgim de morir, sino, porque deixem enrera i per sempre tots aquells sentiments d'emocio positiva que hem conegut i experimentat a tot el llarg de la nostra vida i que mai mes tornarem a sentir. La música.
I'm the God that descends on EarthFrom the Empyrean, I turn EarthInto heaven! Ah
Лучший момент..Забыла уже сам фильм, в эту нудную гейскую тему..а вот голос Каллас - забыть невозможно💣♥️
Gracias papi por enseñarme esto te extraño mucho en mí corazón vivirás siempre
🤎💚.
Pavorotti sing DD song Ordinary World will blow your mind aswell.And I cant stand DD.
Сallas hier piepst.
Anna Netrebko hat La Mamma Morta in ungeahnt bis heute Schönheit gesungen. Es ist die Tatsache.
LOL das war ein guter Scherz. Netrebko bekommt nicht mal die DIKTION hin...
great film
