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. An excellent film, I think, and also quite an important one at that time. As many will know, misinformation and paranoia concerning AIDS was rampant then, as was the more overt contempt for homosexuals and gay men in particular.

I agree with those who've said that the film had a positive impact on some people's views.
