![]() ![]() The music fits like a glove, not just the soothing resonance of Howard Shore's score but especially the song choices. It's also beautifully directed by Silence of the Lambs' Jonathan Demme, he ensures that everything looks good, that the characters remain interesting and that the drama is fully allowed to resonate emotionally, with some lovely subtle touches like in the family scenes. It's a well-made film, not one of the most beautiful-looking films ever but it's nonetheless shot with style and grace and the close ups look good and don't feel overused at all. The good thing is that Philadelphia is a great, no splendid, film that handles a difficult subject remarkably. Philadelphia is ground-breaking for being the first major Hollywood film about AIDS and for Tom Hanks receiving his first Best Actor Oscar.
