      The Director believed Denzel’s performance was too worthy of a supporting actor nomination. Unfortunately, he couldn’t be nominated along with Tom in the same category. He believed Denzel and Tom were both leading men so he didn’t submit Denzel’s name. Denzel talks about this in a few interviews.

    What always amazes me is the advent of the "triple cocktail" drug treatment regime. So many people had seen the disease run it course and knew exactly where it would lead. And then to have this treatment be available and all of a sudden your life us handed back to you, seemingly overnight. It also makes you think about the character here of Andy. A couple years give or take, and could have been saved. He just misses the window.

      As so many people did, like Freddie Mercury. And this will happen with cancer also. There will be a time in rhe near future where we will think of all the people who only just missed the boat, because the cure came a month after their passing. In 15-50 years from now, cancer will be curable or at least a chronic disease, instead of a deadly one.

    I was 16 when this movie came out, very aware of and sympathetic to the AIDS epidemic. Now at 46 I still bawl like a child when I watch this movie not just for its excellence on the merits but for the proverbial nostalgia of a bygone era in my life. Every generation has that. I'm thankful I was young at that point in time and for that fleeting decade between the fall of the Berlin Wall until 9/11 it seemed the zeitgeist had shifted to a more sympathetic, more enlightened mindset. I'd love to get just a moment of that back.

      I bet he just found a "hat" that was in style at this time. He tried to fit in wearing it....camouflage his AIDS. Plus a busy pattern with colors might distract from his "ill" appearance. Beckett's character seemed otherwise conservative, artsy, cultured, so maybe he was out of his comfort zone picking a "hat". Or Miguel picked it!!

And they put this man who was in horrible pain in my room. One night his family came in and was yelling at him to talk to him (he couldn't hear well) and tell him he had AIDS and they needed to sign a DNR order and lots of other stuff. I was in so much torment from the long conversations and other stuff going on, that I asked to be transferred. I didn't know how to help the guy, and I didn't have any tools to help him. And all of the family drama stuff was too much, along with the guy in constant pain. I don't know the relationship between AiDS and hearing loss though. My wife was with me at the time, she died 2 years ago from an aggressive breast cancer (5 months time).

    So what changed Joe's mind about helping Andy? It was unjust for sure what Andy was going though and he without a doubt had a case for discrimination. But i also tend to think that maybe he drew the parallel's between black racism and exclusion and Homosexual/AIDS fear that was very prevalent at the time.
    I'm old enough to remember when AIDS was new and when being Gay was absolutely a death sentence socially for people. We've really come a long way since those days, of course nothing is perfect but this film was a huge achievement and eye opening into the humanity of people suffering with AIDS as well as showing that Gay people are still human beings like everyone else.

      @vickykulig5080 11 місяців тому +3

      Joe did see the parallel’s and why he ultimately took the case, at first he was just looking at everything from a legal standpoint, but as the case went on and as Andrew and Joe continued to work together, Joe’s homophobia began to disappear as he continued to work with Andrew and see him for more than just his sexuality. It goes to show while it may be difficult to change someone’s perspective, it’s not impossible.
