Good acting and fascinating subject matter. Your film video editing is good as always. Thanks for share. ;)

Was that Johny Cochrane on the defendants' sides? Could you imagine him and Denzel going at it in court?

[sweetkittytwine]

i remember the first time i saw it. i cried so much. it was rather personal to me. i have so many mixed emotions when watching this film. the acting is amazing by all involved. how can we do better than hanks and washington. and others were great too.

The movie should've started like that. Points of the case and then title screen.

@rockchick18495 look up Philadelphia The Ending. Penis Pizuzuzimmer gets his ass owned in an argument with ChainsawGuts. It's hilarious to see him get so destroyed. Pizuzuzimmer is a strange sad, sad, little man who spouts his boring drivel on videos with gay themes. Sounds like he's just desperate to jump out of that closet. Man up Pizuzuzimmer and admit you are attracted to men x
