Is it though? We understand HIV/AIDS much better now than we did back then. We have medicines that almost completely control it and almost completely eradicate it from the detection. A person with HIV today can even have unprotected sex and not spread it. No one is deathly afraid of HIV anymore. We consider hiv a manageable disability now. At least in the western world.
Yes, it was. Very. I think the point Mr. Miller wanted to make here was that Andy's lesions should have been recognizable as symptoms of AIDS, when that one man (Walter Kenyon) spotted one on Andy's forehead, because as that woman had testified, he had previously seen them on her too, before seeing it on Andy's forehead, thus proving that those men knew he had AIDS, and should have recognized the lesion as such.

It's a great movie, but is there any point to your RUclips channel? What is your plan here? To somehow cover every single second of this movie? Some of the clips are poignant. Others, like this one, almost seem to be chosen at random. I don't get it.
I haven't watched all of the clips they posted. But the clips I have watched on this channel showing the courtroom scenes seems entirely appropriate for a channel called, "MP Legal Firm" to be posting. You always have the option of not watching them.
you hate gay people. it is understood. remembering and cataloging things like this, fiction or otherwise, drives humanity forward. I've never seen this movie and may never see this clip if not for this channel. So what are you complaining about?
@@vidia7400 I can assure you that I do NOT hate gay people. I have very close friends who are gay and I, as a doctor in San Francisco during the 80s treated hundreds of patients with AIDS. I have even walked with friends in a gay pride March. I also loved this movie, as I do almost every single movie Tom Hanks has made. I merely was challenging the person who created this RUclips channel to find some direction for it.
@@vidia7400 - Where in the HELL did you get that stretch from? He asked a simple question, while saying that he felt the film was a great movie. And who is the idiot that liked your post?
@@vidia7400 The man asked a question and suddenly he hates gay people? He was questioning the logic of the channel and the scene selections. And if he is telling the truth, the man even walked in a pride parade. Talk about making assumptions.

Well, she opened that can of worms with the mirror thing, and now she had to eat a few of them.
Almost 30 years old and this movie is STILL as relevant as it was back then!!!
Kinda - AIDS doesn't have nearly the same stigma, nor is it a death sentence in western countries anymore
Thirty years! Eee gad watching it 2024

3:15 The scene which Andy (Hanks) is forced to open up his shirt revealing the lesions on his upper torso was powerfully sad and disturbing.
Yes, it was. Very. I think the point Mr. Miller wanted to make here was that Andy's lesions should have been recognizable as symptoms of AIDS, when that one man (Walter Kenyon) spotted one on Andy's forehead, because as that woman had testified, he had previously seen them on her too, before seeing it on Andy's forehead, thus proving that those men knew he had AIDS, and should have recognized the lesion as such.
That's why the defense objected that the display was unfairly prejudicing the jury.
@@crimony3054 That's right. They were actually aware that this could be the fatal blow to their case, which in essence, it was. Now the defense, Wheeler and associates wouldn't be able to deny they had fired Mr. Beckett illegally.
It represents a big win for the prosecution.
Still don't get the reasoning behind the shirt scene. Can someone explain it to me like I am a 6 year old please?
That scene was heartbreaking... And then she felt bad but she deserved it cause she was very cruel. Poor Andy. He had no more energy...
She was not cruel. She was doing her job in defending her client.

Denzel should've easily gotten Best Supporting Actor.

Man. Gotta be one of thee most powerful scenes in cinematic history. whew. Heart wrenching
Bigotry in its most reprehensible form!!! I can't stand those partners that fired him. Self righteous, hateful, cruel, and heartless.
@Suckwoo Nam yup the GOP
@@Herrera777 what about all the people getting fired for not bring vaccinated?

@@NunYaaBizz "that are vaxxed are more likely to catch and transmit covid" Wrong. Who told you that?
Defense lawyers in civil litigation often try disingenuous tactics such as these. Not surprising at all.
What did the female lawyer said exactly at 1:07? I Hear Something like " I Hate this case " , but I´m not sure.
Yes
Such terribly powerful acting by so many brilliant actors
That was the turning point for the Judge to literally rule in Andrew's favor, that he had the exact same symptoms as the lady who also had AIDS and that just because he was gay didn't mean that he was unceremoniously fired.
"Literally" rule in his favor? Not figuratively?
I cried for real from that scene.
I feel this film should be shown in high schools to teach the next generation compassion.
Mate the opening titles on these vids add nothing and waste everyone's time. Thanks for the uploads though.
