Hey! First, just wanted to say a great reaction; I saw the first video. Also, it might help to put "RE-UPLOAD" in the title so others know that before clicking on it. Your first video got a lot of views and you know about YT's algorithm so it may be helpful. Thanks again for the reaction! xx
Someone said that the reason men hate gays, get so upset when they find out someone they know is gay or get hit on by a gay man is because they are afraid that that gay man will treat them like heterosexual men treat women. Not taking no for an answer, not respecting theyr body autonomy or rape them.
Here's a virtual hug for anyone who needs it during the movie🫂💟 This movie took me places🧡 Thanks for watching with me. Cheers I'm not sure how this movie will perform on RUclips because it's not very popular with reactions.. so please remember to "LIKE" the video if you liked the video and share your thoughts in the comments. It really helps with the RUclips algorithm🙏🏾 Thanks
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your first upload of this fab movie. I'm defo watching this one too. You might want to emphasize in the headline that this is a reload _and_ especially encourage ppl watching this whatever, so that you'll get the benefit. ❤
Thank you sir, for a brilliant review. In the early 90's (when I was in my early 20's) I had a friend named Max. He had just turned 21 when I met him and he had AIDS. When he was a teen his father found out that Max was Gay. He then threw his son out a 3rd story window. Max then escaped to California then up here to Seattle. When he told me about his life he said he didn't think he deserved to live or be loved. His self hatred was so bad when he got real sick he refused help. Then his lung collapsed and he went into a coma. A week later when he was taken off the ventilator and took hiss last breath, he was being held by a room full of people. So many in fact we were over flowing from his hospital room. He was loved more than he knew, just like everyone else who died from this wretched disease in the 80's & 90's. Thank you Frank for your kindness. You are a beacon of hope. Be strong.
Rest in peace Max. You deserved better. Watching this movie is one thing but hearing the true life stories from people like you in this comments is just heartbreaking. It brings my heart a lot of Joy knowing that he had loved ones around him. Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing this. I appreciate you a lot
I wonder how many people catch the major significance of that last scene in the hospital room with Denzel He sits close to him on the bed, then touches his face as he places his oxygen mask back on. That small act shows the HUGE leap Denzel's character has made! ❤ Then he shows up at the funeral with his wife and baby girl.
Tom Hanks won an Oscar for this role. If you can find his acceptance speech, you should check it out. Absolutely phenomenal and shows the heart of Hanks. Tom Hanks is my favorite actor of all time. This film shook me to the core.
It was so typical. Going from commenting that Antonio Banderas is the only man he would switch for to his high praise of Denzel, then honoring his teacher.
I remember watching an interview with Johnathan Demme when the movie came out. He asked Neil Young to write a song for the movie and he came up with "Philadelphia" but Demme thought it was too introspective and somber so he asked Springsteen to write a song. He also came up with an introspective and somber song so Demme realized the songwriters had it right. He decided to open with Springsteen and close with Young, which bookended the movie perfectly.
I always appreciate your gentle, open-minded and thoughtful reactions. I have a hard time watching reactors who talk over the dialogue, make dumb jokes and are just generally loud during the movie. Your videos are so well done and enjoyable to watch. Thank you.
I totally understand how frustrating that can be while you’re in the mood to take a movie seriously. I’m glad my channel can offer that for you. Thanks for appreciating that🌟
I lived this in 1989. As the surviving partner I never contracted AIDS. But when my partner did I lost my job, many friends (including gay), and family members (including my mother). I'm 70 now, but will never forget my partners' family pulling up in a truck two days after he died. They said they had the right to his property since gay marriage wasn't legal at the time. And I was too distraught to do anything.
What a heartbreaking experience. It's incredible how cold some people can be, no sympathy whatsoever. It must have been so devastating for you. I'm glad you managed to pick up the pieces and build a new life for yourself as I understand it.
I have always thought that there is a difference between willful ignorance and uninformed ignorance. The uninformed can learn, the willful will not learn. Washington's character is a good example of the uninformed. When he had to face his own ignorance and deal with it, he learned.
@@FrankFreezy_ ❤ Though Forrest Gump is a strong contestant. ❤ Man, that is such an easy path to stray, ha ha, listing his excellent portrayals in various movies, he's such an amazing actor.
You are such a good hearted human being. I hope you have everything you need and want in life. God bless you and your family and friends!!! Peace and love
It's too bad they took down the original upload. I hope you can get as many of the likes back as possible on this one, because it really deserves all the exposure it can get. You really nailed it on this reaction.
I was already a divorced single mom when the first indication of AIDS appeared in 1981. By the end of the decade, so many people had passed away. I believe everyone knew someone who had contracted HIV and perished, usually in an alarmingly short time (on average, about 15 months). Reagon took office on January 20, 1981 and left on January 20, 1989, bookending the start and the worst of this epidemic, yet he never directly addressed the problem. There was no mobilization of support or problem solving, no concern even when the virus threatened the nation's blood donor supply or when women could contract AIDS from heterosexual sex or children from blood transfusions. Almost 90,000 Americans perished under Reagon's watch; that's not counting the undiagnosed or those who 'unalived' themselves rather than suffer or leave huge medical bills to loved ones. I lived through the period that slowly gathered information on how it spread, how it functioned, how it was mutating. I remember when a positive diagnosis was a death sentence, and the death was a miserable, painful process. I recall how medical records mentioning HIV could cost a person their medical insurance just when they needed it most and how gay men could be refused access or a voice in treatment for their hospitalized partner even if they'd been living together for decades because the hospital did not consider them 'immediate family'. I watched via news reports as one small community ran a hemophiliac child with AIDS out of town to another small community who welcomed him with grace and mercy. I met a new friend in 1982; our second meeting, he told me that between our meetings he had been tested and was found positive. We stayed in touch over the next few years as his condition worsened. I was asked by the friend who was providing him a bed in his home to come stay with my friend while the host attended Sunday mass, which I gladly did. My friend was skeletal and appeared to be on his last legs. I expected this would be the last I saw of him. To my surprise, I was asked to return the next Sunday, and my friend somehow looked worse. Later the following week, I got a call at work; my friend had passed. It was my birthday that day. I could not finish my workday. I attended the church service and the funeral; I was a mess. My friend had taken great pride in his career as a nurse and had reapplied for his license. It arrived after his death and was placed in his coffin. His name was memorialized on the National AIDS Quilt. I was so glad I had given him some comfort during my final Sunday visits, climbing into his sick bed and holding him like a child so he could sleep. Too many AIDS patients were treated like lepers and longed for human contact. So many of the great creative and charitable individuals, in many ways the best of America, were lost in that epidemic. This film is based on a true story, though basically stolen by the studio; after years of litigation, compensation was finally rendered. There is intentional irony in the film's title "Philadelphia"; it translates as 'City of Brotherly Love'.
Totally off topic, but as a painter I have to say I love your diverse artistic style in those portraits behind you. You're a very talented man. And please water that Monstera! lol
I really loved your reaction to this movie and it's a shame YT caused it to be a reupload but I hope you get back the views, or new views on this one too!
I know someone who was an RN in San Francisco in the 1980s.. told a gut-wrenching story about this young gay man who was actively dying of AIDS, and abandoned by his family. In his delirium, he thought she was his mother. So she took him in her arms and said “I’m here sweetheart” Damn I’m crying just typing that
I lived through the '80's AIDS epidemic. I happened to be renting rooms in a house owned by a woman who was president of an orchestra. It was a very frightening time in the music industry. Several times someone would seem normal one week, be sick the next week, then dead the following week. We have come so far since then, both in terms of attitudes and treatments. Now it is a survivable, though not yet curable, disease thanks to modern medicine. This movie went a long way to normalizing AIDS in society the same way Rain Man helped to normalize autism. As the father of a trans daughter I know full well the social stigma, leading to suicidal ideation that the LGBTQ+ community faces. As to "preaching to the choir," well a local politician once said, "Sometimes the choir needs choir practice."
I never have patience for ignorant people like that.....this movie was & will always be amazing! You sir, reacting the way you did, was very human. Philadelphia touched so many people in this world. Stellar cast, stellar writing, directing and the music....perfect.
I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE THAT THIS FILM WAS SO SO GOOD😊 THAT IT WILL HIT YOU SO HARD, STRAIGHT TO THE HEART AND SOUL FRANK!!! ☹😮3 STR888 YEARS OF OSCAR WINNERS : CLINT EASTWOOD'S 92 UNFORGIVEB, 93 PHILADELPHIA AND 94 FORREST GUMP 👍
I saw that movie a long long time ago. I probably don't remember much about it but I know it had to do with him memorizing the Bible. And I think it was a western
Fantastic movie, even though it isn't based on a true story, it easily could be as this sort of thing happened when AIDS was first heard about, an Denzel's reaction, would probably have been the same by any other REAL person in his situation at the same time. In my eyes, this was Tom Hanks best acting credit, by a country mile, maybe because it's more "true to life" than any other movie he has starred in.
Not to go crazy with queer-centric movies, but you are clearly a modern straight man and it’s fascinating to see you react. So, I recommend All of Us Strangers. I won’t tell you about it except to say it’s beautiful and mysterious and devastating.
Hello, FrankFreezy, Philadelphia is one of the greats. It touched upon so many open/ important, human, social points. There performances make you stop and pay attention. I also enjoy Denzel films, these three films I found were so different, than the rest of Denzel Washington catalogue) I found these three choices, are rich in the storytelling. Not just another shoot/kill. There is an intelligence, humanity, and captivating. These titles… ▪️Book of Eli. (2000) ▪️Flight. (2012) ▪️Safe House (2021) Whether you add/the titles or not… to you Channel, take the time with these. Thanks for listening. Roxane (aBreathofRoxane) ▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️
This reaction is one of those rare things of beauty here on YT. As a gay man, I didn't think Denzel's character had enough of an arch. We see him change during the opera scene, and that's fine, but all the ugly gay slurs remain and it hurts the movie (for me, anyway). BUT, your reaction is lovely and it made me cry. Thank you for that.
36:45, if only this were true but we both know the bs thats going on in schools and libraries here in america. these children should not be "groomed" into any belief.
@@Penitent_Intent I completely agree. Children should not have access to books or other media with relationships in them so they’re not swayed or tempted in the least
I don't think it was as much the gay thing as the AIDS thing. We didn't know. There wasn't information for the public. It was a scary thing. I wouldn't want to get it or take it home to my baby. It's like when we had the Covid so bad here. And Covid you at least had the chance to survive it.
shouldn't be in grades 1 to 6 simple as that, if we can let these kids develop on there own with outside influence thats all i want until then I will balance the rhetoric line.
I am a conservative and have absolutely no problem with people who identify as they want I believe people should be able to love whoever they want my problem is just like many others and that is everything shoved down kids throats none of this belongs in schools my 2nd grader should not be able to get a graphic sex book in her schools library my kids understand loving who you want my son is bi and my sister is married to a woman
You Sir, are a wholesome as heck and big hearted dude. Philadelphia is a beautiful movie that speak some heavy truth's. We are indeed all shaped by the world around us so it is important to have an open mind. I had a thought or two when you were questioning the absurdity and inhumanity of some of the people who justify someone's death by them paying for their sins. I think that they do so because they believe that the world is inherently just. If they were to admit to themselves that it isn't so then that would also mean that either their god isn't t omnipotent or that their god is simply unjust. That's too much for many of them to handle as their beliefs are a cornerstone of not only their world view but also their personality. So they aren't necessarily stupid per say but it's more so that they are desperately trying to keep their "world" intact. That's at least how it looks to an silly atheist like myself. Thanks for the nice company while rewatching this old classic.
That is a fascinating perspective and I agree. Sometimes I think to myself "There's no way, deep down, this person doesn't know what they're doing in the name of religion is wrong" but like you said that belief system is a Cornerstone of their whole lives. Without it they might just break down and not know what to do with their lives. I appreciate your perspective and you joining a conversation. Thanks for watching

Oh my God yes
Glad you were able to get this back up. This movie & this reaction definitely deserve it
Thank you my dear friend💜
After the opera scene "He's connecting and he's scared of that". Spot on man, perfect read on Denzel's character. Beautiful movie and a wonderful take
My brother died in 1992 from AIDS and every time I see this movie it makes me cry I miss my brother everyday
RIP to your brother💜

u must be trying to give him a stroke, i cried so much during that movie whew. 😭
I have another in case you haven’t seen it…..THE BOOK OF ELI (Denzel Washington) Phenomenal.
I saw that movie a long long time ago. I probably don't remember much about it but I know it had to do with him memorizing the Bible. And I think it was a western
We also don’t get the amount of vacation time Europeans and Uk people get. So times a factor also.
This is true
In the 8o's AIDs was deadly, so many died, especially in entertainment. The medicine of today keeps people alive.
Very thankful for today's medicine

So they aren't necessarily stupid per say but it's more so that they are desperately trying to keep their "world" intact.
That's at least how it looks to an silly atheist like myself.
Thanks for the nice company while rewatching this old classic.
That is a fascinating perspective and I agree. Sometimes I think to myself "There's no way, deep down, this person doesn't know what they're doing in the name of religion is wrong" but like you said that belief system is a Cornerstone of their whole lives. Without it they might just break down and not know what to do with their lives.
I appreciate your perspective and you joining a conversation. Thanks for watching
