that main juror speaking was the perfect red herring. the way he was smirking while the defendants were testifying really made me think he was on their side. it was nice reversal hearing him talk in the deliberations.
Very true. They definitely subverted expectations with that. Almost as if he was smirking in disbelief at the arguments of the defendants…
well it's on-theme with the rest of the movie. denzel is homophobic, and he points out that their whole society is homophobic. that guy's facial expressions, you're right, point to him sharing the generalized homophobia, being disgusted by gay people. but like denzel he's still seeking to apply justice.
there's a difference between the bigotry of cultural distance and the bigotry of wanting to use all institutions available against a target.
@Him535 not sure if you saw the 90s version (12 angry men). Amazon has it, I liked it.
As for movies with talking, give Conspiracy a look. It's about the Holocaust.
Phenom movie
Kruger, you couldn't smooth a silk sheet if you had a hot date with a babe . . I lost my train of thought.
I think his laughing and nodding is due to him knowing the law firm partners are making smooth-sounding bullshit claims about Andy.
I watched maybe two or three movies between 1981 and 2000. I never got to see this of a young Denzel Washington. His acting is so honest and endearing. You just have to love the guy. Tom hanks was young and he had to play a hard part, most probably out of character for him; but that is the job of actor. Thank you for posting. I suppose I should see the whole movie now.
I have seen this movie plenty of times and never noticed until just now.. that one of the lawyers at the law firm who said he would regret it the rest of his life.. congratulates Denzel on his win against the firm he works for... Unsure why I never noticed that before.
That actor was Ron Vawter, who had AIDS at the time the movie was shot. He died a year later of a heart attack.
You notice it a lot in lawyer movies once you start noticing it. Its all serious and competitive until the verdict comes in then its game recognizing game amongst the lawyers. Handshakes, back slaps and offers to grab lunch sometime.
These random clips from the movie Philadelphia keep popping up here and I watch them. Thinking I should re watch the film. Sure I have already seen it 6 times but is an absolutely perfect movie.
Why do you think we are getting the pop ups . This is the first I've watched. I don't think I'll be watching anymore. . I'm Feeling played
For you young folks, this amount is more or less ten million today.
I know money isn’t justice, but I remember the faith in people I felt restored after watching this verdict as a teenager in the 90s. And this was before the LGBTQ mvt and at the very height of the AIDS crisis
The LGBT movement was prior to the 1990s and prior to AIDS.
Like it's not bad enough he was going through a "
shame filled" disease, but then he loses his job due to people's pure ignorance and stupidity. My heart goes out to any of you that were diagnosed with HIV in the 80's or 90's. 💜
Unfortunately not many who contracted HIV/AIDS during it's early stages are alive today. My uncle being one of them.
I absolutely love this movie. This might be my favorite movie from both Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington.
Same.
No Forrest Gump and the Equalizer
Track down HBOs movie And The Band Played On with an all star cast.
Their very first movie role!!! They became big stars after this!!!
@@costco_pizzathis was not their first. Do research.
Just realized the jury foreman is Mr. Kruger from Seinfeld!
Hey George, look. No hands its all me....
K-UGER! K-UGER!
THANK YOU I couldn't place him, and it was driving me crazy
Not just that, but Commandant Spengler from Malcolm in the Middle
Daniel Von Bargen, a great character actor who died too young.
Way to go Mr. Kruger
whatever!
He shot himself in the head and missed(he lived)
I’m glad to see that one of the police guards from Silence of the Lambs has survived and become a judge.
Not to mention, one of the SWAT guys from that very same scene is on the jury! Conflict of interest? 🤣
The producers were sued for this film. It was based on interviews with a real man(men) who actually went through this and they had been promised to be compensated for their story being used.
The irony.
A "promise" is as good as the paper it's written on.
Well that's that ... 😂😂😂😂😂
Great movie over all. But if you think about it the law firm (defendants) can appeal the decision and tie it up in court proceedings relatively for the next 10 years than pay a penny. Which in essence the plaintiff will have long passed away from his illness therefore never receiving a penny. The harsh truth.
I feel teary eyed at this scene
Firing someone for discrimination is wrong because they have aids which make me mad
EXCELLENT MOVIE
Great movie!!!🖒
$5,025,000 total verdict!
Foreperson summed it up perfectly.
Miss Ya Daniel von Bargen....
And Charles Napier

This was an awesome movie
Kruger, my son tells me your company stinks!!
May he RIP.

@@katjoe1974
I find your belief system fascinating!
2:46 the original voice of The Sheriff on Squidbillies before he passed in 2011.
And Lt. Boyle in Silence of the Lambs. Such a distinctive voice.
Charles Napier
It’s refreshing to see Chuck play a nice guy good guy
He was also the Warden in Earnest Goes to Jail
And let's go WAAAY back to Charles Napier's role as Adam in one of original Star Trek's most (in)famous episodes, The Way to Eden
Agree, obviously..!
Money settlements are not justice
Correct. They are often well deserved punishments.
Of course winning money is not justice. But taking it from someone for a crime they commited is a deep, personal violation so there is that.
They are a form of justice. And they are total justice in a breach of contract where there is a liquidated sum lost and the liquidated sum lost is awarded in a money judgment. That's the very definition of justice.
Sometimes it's not about the money settlement.
It's about taking it from a wrongdoer who only understands financial repercusions over moral repercusions.
What would you suggest!! A box of donuts
Just realized, Andy’s “case” is bookended with applause. The partners applauding him when he receives his promotion, and now the gallery applauding when he gets his vindication.
Not sure if I’m reading into it, but it makes a valid point that there was always somebody in Andy’s corner.
This trial is now concluded. It is time for a lengthy and prolonged appeal process. After all, they are all lawyers.
No they aren't just ice at all i totally agree
Kruger did a great job after his company wound up thanks to him getting frustrated by George Costanza.
If I were on that jury then I would have insisted that at least fifty million dollars be awarded in punitive damages. This could set a precedent for other big firms and corporations who come under fire that the sexual orientation of any human being is not for them to judge.
Spoken like someone who has never been on a jury and has no idea how the justice system works.
Punitive damages cannot generally exceed a certain ratio of the compensatory damages except in extremely extenuating circumstances. This law firm almost certainly doesn't have 50 million dollars to pay in punitive damages, and the judge has the authority to overrule the jury's decision on amounts. This has happened countless times when juries think like you do.
5 mil overall was a huge amount of money back then too. They made their point
5 million back in 1993 is likely worth 50 million today. 😱😱😱
@@costco_pizza inflation is bad but not that bad... 5 million in 1993 would be worth just over 10 million today.
As the man said, never underestimate the predictably of stupidity or the ignorant. So many passed, such a waste of blessed people. God help us all.
Denzel Hayes Washington JR
28 de diciembre de 1954
68 AÑOS. (69)
We clapped when we heard the verdict of $4 million
Denzel is by far the best actor by a long shot in this movie
When is he not to be fair.
Denzel is the BEST actor.
Smutné, smutné
WHo noticed the lawyer of Erin Brockovic in the jury?
If you meant juror no. 9, no, that wasn't actor Albert Finney
Mr. Kruger what happened to you?
I hope he was reimbursed by Play Now!
Any other law nerds see a resemblance between the Judge and Judge McNally?
5 million minus a third
Lawyers - it's all about the money baby!
Just like politicians... Funny how lawyers and politicians always flock together.
Thank God Hollywood made this movi4.
That’s $5025000.00 and in today’s market that would be over $10000000.
You should check your numbers again.
2:44 JK Simmons on the jury?
Nope
His very first movie role!!! He became a very big star after this!
@@costco_pizza I thought that was him. Thanks!
@@jjackson59100 Sorry, that is not JK Simmons. He would have been about 48 during the filming - this guy is a lot older; besides, Simmons was working as a Broadway performer while this movie was being filmed.
It is nice to think that the jury would stick so faithfully to the remit of their task - can't deny though, I never bought it. The distraction of an aids carrier who got infected through casual sex with a stranger in a porn theatre would have been too much, I felt. People would have just had sympathy for the defendants for not wanting to be around him and the virus.
Sympathetic, but their own feelings would point to the truth. He was discriminated against.
Well that’s generally the Hollywood route, they put the way things should go in these cases where Justice is served. If the film ended with him losing and then dying, then what is it wanting to show? The cold hard reality is something already seen. Don’t need it hammered home in a film
People still don't get it. How he got AIDS is irrelevant. That is the fundamental issue with discrimination.
Hate to burst the bubble, but this film was inspired by a true story
Thank God the jury was full of better men and women & justice prevailed! 🙏
Hnnng. on the one hand...Andy REALLY should have been up front about his illness. If the firm had just been up front and let him go, that's one thing. The only reason they deserved those rather excessive punative damages was the LYING....the coverup. they were breaking thier own rules and KNEW it.
At the time, he would have been fired on the spot if he had volunteered he had AIDS. There was a lot of ignorance about it, how it was transmitted, etc., And was a death sentence.
Fuck this take.
There was really no legit reason for the lawfirm to let Andy go. They couldn't have let him go simply because he was infected with AIDS. And if they'd have let him go for "performance reasons" the timing would have been awfully suspect anyways, so Andy would have still brought on a lawsuit.
The lawfirm would simply have to wait until he became incapacitated, and then hire a new lawyer for his position. They'd also have to keep his insurance coverage until he passed.
@@M-hc9xm He would have been fired just if they found out he was gay. With AIDS he definitely would be gone.
It was none of their business until he was too sick to work.
