    This movie always makes me cry. The unnecessary discrimination and hardship we put upon each other.
  • @kiddozoo
    This movie will never fade, never lose relevance, never fail to reach humanity and give us a reality check.
  • @ninawestlake14
    Denzel is a fine actor. Great movie. It doesn't lose its relevance.
  • Denzel killed this part as the lawyer, but one also has to respect the level of dedication Tom Hanks put into this part. He looked so thin, so grey, like patients suffering from terminal illneses do. It's so heartbreaking.
  • Antonio Banderas and Denzel Washington seemingly never age
  • @freddiem8801
    Two of the finest actors around, Denzel Washington/Tom Hanks🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
  • @12thDecember
    More than 30 years old and except for the aging of the actors, it looks like it could have been filmed a month ago. Incredible movie.
  • @GraceandWisdom
    No way that Denzel didn't deserve the Oscar for this performance. He truly earned it!
  • @diane8937
    God bless Tom and Denzel for making this movie.

    When this movie came out, my best friend ever in life had just passed from AIDS. Early on, this discrimination was real. Sitting through this movie in a theatre nearly destroyed me but it was, and still is, the gut-wrenching truth about how people with AIDS were treated in the 1980s.
  • IN MY VIEW Denzel Washington is one of the GREATEST MASTERS OF ACTING. He has earned great respect.

    1:51 Brilliantly depicted anguish look from the legendary widow of Paul Newman, Joan Woodward, playing Andy’s mom… 🥺🥺

    80s & 90s movies were the peak. Just like 90s music was the peak.
  • This movie was so moving and awesome at the same time... Mathew in Dallas buyers club and Val in Tombstone have a lot in common with Tom as they ALL researched their characters so well and had to change their bodies so much for their parts...it is simply astounding what REAL actors go thru to make their characters real to everyone! They all deserved academy awards for their interpretations of these men.....bravo.....

    I love how the film gives no question that the firm fired Andrew for being gay. “He asked for it”
  • @tsvetahristova1006
    Truly one of the best movies ever made, a gem in the crown of American cinema.
