电影费城故事的英文论文

请从此页开始答题： A great film Philadelphia This film was absolutely amazing .I have spent hours re-watching various scenes and noticing all the perfection with which they are acted and directed. For me of the film ,the question is not whether they sympathy with Tom Hank" AIDS-afflicted, gay character ,but whether that sympathy opens up a different perspective on the victims of the disease in the real word .I want to say that I really like this great film. The main idea of the film is as follows: Andrew Becket ,a hotshot law graduate ,has a promising career ahead of him when he discovers that he has AIDS .Choosing not to tell his boss at the firm, he goes on working on the firm .But the partners learn of his affliction ,and while their dismissal is courted. They fired him. And Andrew knows that his AIDS and homosexuality are the root cause. After he is finally fired without explanation , he attribute it to the AIDS, and decides to bring this to the court ,even when he is losing his other battle against the disease. Andrew hires attorney Joe Miller to defend him , but the lawyer must first overcome his own fear of the disease and homosexuality. In the end, Andrew expresses his acceptance of death even as he acknowledges his continuing passion for life, and Miller feels fear as he recognizes that his client no longer disgusts him. This scene is Philadelphia's watershed. We still remember the words that Joe selected to impress the jury. “ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Forget anything you have seen on television and in the movies. There is not going to be the last minute surprise and witness and nobody is going to break down on the stand with the tearful confession. You gotten be presented with a simple fact. Andrew Beckett was fired. You will two explanations for why he is fired .

Ours and theirs , it is up to you ,to sift though layer and layer of truth, until you

determine for yourselves which version sounds the mostly true. There are certain points that I must prove to you…, point one he was a brilliant lawyer. A great lawyer. Point number two ,he wad afflicted with a debilitating disease, made the understandable, the number three ; his employers discovered his illness. And ladies and gentlemen, the illness I am referring to is AIDS . Point number four ,they panicked. And in their panic ,they did what most us would like to do with AIDS, which is …get it ,and everybody who has it, as far away from the rest of us as possible. Now the behavior of his employers may seem reasonable to you. It does to me. After all, it is a deadly ,incurable disease. But no matter how you come to judge it, the fact of the matter is when they fired Andrew because he had AIDS, they break the law.” This piece of opening address offered by the lawyer is well organized and presented. Andy insists on bring the company to the court because he is demanding justice. And discrimination does not always express itself in forms on rudeness or abrupt segregation. Sometimes can be very subtle. Nonetheless, the victim can feel hurt just the same. They are no different from other patients who carry a terrible disease and who are just fight for survival.

The sequences that work best are usually those that happen away from the court: Miller meeting a gay Penn student in a grocery store, Miller at a bar watching himself on TV, Beckett refusing an AZT treatment, and the aforementioned Maria Callas aria. Philadelphia doesn't work well as a courtroom drama -- some of the scenes are necessary to underline certain points

Though the film is about injustice and discrimination, love and support are running though the whole story. In the film, the family’s support for Andy is not only out of pure love for a son or a brother, but, more importantly, out of their tolerance and strong belief in equality and justice.

Symbolism is crucial to the story; the most obvious example is the role of physical space between Beckett and Miller. More character development, especially
