We still have a lot to learn

The film repeatedly emphasizes defending the law. It's worth noting that Denzel Washington is a person he hates, and until the end of the film, when Hanks tells him to sit on the bed, Denzel hesitates. However, he believed in the tenets of the law, and no matter what he felt, hated or liked, he always defended the law.
As he said in the first court session, he said, according to everyone's understanding, you hate gays, and so do I. However, it is against the law for the employer to fire him because he hates him.
Perhaps, for our country, from the early 1980s, it started to become normal. But compared to America's short history, our laws are still immature. I came from an engineering degree and have little understanding of the law, but I am not talented, I know that everything can be learned. Since the price increases are frequently brought into line with international standards, why can't the law be brought into line? Although the civil law system and the law of the sea system have various principles, can we really make some progress in the formulation of laws and regulations, the reference of precedents, and the procedures and enforcement of laws? Or if progress is to be counted in the interests of some people?
It is undeniable that every country is governed by elites, but without the platform and laws for the grassroots to defend their rights, then the country's stable foundation will be lost. There is no country in the world, only a group of self-examination and continuous progress.

    Tom Hanks is really charming! This has gone beyond the acting itself, and it is directly integrated with the role! As a man, I really want to be someone like Hanks.

    Very classic film, but also very realistic and shocking

Philadelphia quotes

  • Joe Miller: [while being interviewed by reporters] We're standing here in Philadelphia, the, uh, city of brotherly love, the birthplace of freedom, where the, uh, founding fathers authored the Declaration of Independence, and I don't recall that glorious document saying anything about all straight men are created equal. I believe it says all men are created equal.

  • Andrew Beckett: [while lying on a hospital bed] What do you call a thousand lawyers chained together at the bottom of the ocean?

    Joe Miller: [amused,sitting next to him on the hospital bed] I don't know.

    Andrew Beckett: A good start.
