Movie Reflection-Philadelphia

I watched “Philadelphia” . The director of this movie is Tonathan Demme. The main actors are Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. This film is a story about a man who had AIDS and the discrimination he faced. His company fired him with the excuse that he didn’t work hard. At last, he sued them and won success.

My favorite scene is at the end of this movie. In his funeral, they showed the video when he was a child. I cried. I thought a lot about it, it was a beautiful and warm memory. He was so innocent when he was a child. His life is cruel; he went from a famous lawyer to a nobody overnight. He lost his reputation and wealth, but he did not lose hope of living. He asked another lawyer whom is his partner before to help him, but he refused. He didn’t give up; he decided to sue his former company by himself. Luckily, he received his family’s support. The process of the lawsuit put his in many cruel situations while he was dying! Although he didn’t need to do sue for money because he would die soon, he still fought discrimination until the end.

After I watched this film, I pondered upon this story. In the beginning, I didn’t sympathies with him because I thought other people were paying his mistake. However, when I watched the ending, my thought changed. Now I think he is a hero. From him, I saw a persistent spirit. Everyone has the right to fight for what they believe is true. Try your best and never give up.
