Philadelphia

My favorite scene in the movie Philadelphia would have to be the either the opera scene or last hospital scene. I feel both show pathos and stir up emotions in the viewers. I like the fact that in the opera scene, Denzel seems to finally understand Tom Hanks' character and from that point on he seems to become more than just a lawyer, but a true friend ( who really seems to care). This is also shown in the hospital scene when Denzel touches Hanks because it shows by the end of the movie how much his character has grown, and how we the viewers have also grown. I feel that Denzel's character represents the audience members who aren't very knowledgeable about AIDS and through the course of the movie, they are able to grow and understand it.
