The movie Philadelphia

A movie with Tom Hanks portraying a homosexual lawyer with HIV during the AIDS epidemic. His colleagues wrongfully fire him because of his condition. Has anyone seen this film ?

Yes. I think it was instrumental in lessening the prejudice against AIDS patients.

Interesting how many blamed gay men for their affliction, but saw little fault in the connection between smoking and cancer or fat-saturated diet and heart disease.

All that aside it was a great movie and a masterful performance by Tom Hanks.

@Mamapolo2016 another great film that showcased the struggle of HIV is Gia with Angelina Jolie as she played a model that dies young from the disease
@SomewhatConfused I haven't seen that movie.
@SomewhatConfused I'll have to check it out, although it sounds likeI can expect two hours of sobbing.
