      @@ryancarroll3957 You couldn't back then either that is the point of the movie. The Firm's board is trying to make it seem like Andrew is being fired for incompetence and not him being gay or having AIDS. Wrongful termination still very much happens today all over the world, especially over things like sexuality, race, handicap etc. There still bigots in the world who want nothing to do with these people and will find any reason to get rid of them even if they have to lie. And the reason these people get away with it is because you have to prove that they fired you for something that has nothing to do with the job. If you think you live somewhere that is magically safe from this than you're living in a fantasy world.

    Not the biggest deal of this clip, but it just added another layer into an experience with a manager. She rustled through a set of cheques that i had organized, instead of just asking me to find something. So when i looked for the corresponding paperwork, it was miraculously missing, after being there for months. I asked her to look on her desk for it, as she may have taken it by error, after doing my due diligence. But if she was the last person that touched it, she is the closest person to suspect. She said to asked someone else. I didn't have time to argue, so i explained to her assistant (the real Exec director) and he said he'll look for it when she leaves the office. 2 minutes later, he presents the missing doc, from off of her table. I told her that he found it on her desk. She acted like i was an overly sensitive black woman and mocked me, as if what she did was no big deal. I see what undermining someone looks like now even clearer and i cant wait to see her Karma.

      I think he actually says, "Bootie Snatcher". I said that whole line in front of my American mom, and she was shocked out of her mind! She even asked me what a bootie snatcher was, and I'm still not sure! I wonder if it means, someone who steals money. Or maybe it's someone who likes to snatch baby booties from mothers. As far as a pillow biter, that sounds like someone who loves the taste of cotton stuffing in their mouth.

      Yes. He was also in Scent Of A Woman with Al Pacino who finally got his Oscar. Also it was the same year that Denzel was nominated for Malcolm X. Can you imagine how surreal it must have been to work with Three Oscar Winning Actors. Another person is Character Actor James Rebhorn who worked with Al Pacino, Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei, Cate Blanchett, Matt Damon, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Joe Pesci and they all won Oscars.

    It’s amazing, because you’re talking about discrimination. So Needless to say, Andrew Beckett had an African-American attorney. Now I don’t play the race card often but who knows more about being discriminated against then melinated people.

      @@RtB68 The Japanese and Irish in America during WWII could give some commentary as well. Considering they were forcibly put into internment camps because of America's bigotry. At least they got reparations though, once it was all finished. I imagine Native Americans could also say a thing or two. At least they got guaranteed land to live on where they could continue their way of life and leniency regarding certain State and Federal laws (gambling and taxes). I'd say the Jewish people from WWII to even now could espouse something about discrimination. They also get special considerations regarding certain State and Federal laws and they exhibit almost unequaled generational wealth in both Europe and America. Let's not forget homosexuals or non-straight people. They absolutely faced a lot of discrimination. They were never slaves though. They were never kept from acquiring and accumulating wealth and resources. Yes, they couldn't marry for a time, but 80% of all states in America did allow common law marriage to extend to same sex couples before the federal law passed allowing them to marry.
      What's my point? It's fairly simple actually. Nearly every minority group that was discriminated against at either the State Govt or Federal Govt level received some sort of gesture, offer, or gift designed to be an apology for how they were treated and to make amends. That is to say nearly every group discriminated against, save for black people. Have black people received such things? Ever? No! As a matter of fact when the idea is even discussed people lose their minds with rage and hatred. So what do we have here? We have a nation that continually says things are better yet they refuse to even have the conversation regarding the way blacks have been treated in this country. Kept as slaves, offered little if any rights, segregation, criminal justice prejudice, kept from being able to accumulate generational wealth, and I could go on ad nauseam.
      Don't try to compare prejudices. The OP was 100% right with the comment that was made. ✌🏽

    Hilarious scene. Even more hilarious is how idiots respond to basic cinematic techniques. Any type of monologue, even the dumbest one, you can have someone say in a dramatic fashion, put some sentimental piece of music over it and have bums feel they're watching actual drama

    Incredible film , cast , writing ,& subject matter .
    It doesn't matter about an Oscar nomination, it never should . When people go on and on about the injustice of awards which should of could of ....... The performances stand up on their own merits . They don't need a bullshit award , which has been approved by a corrupt board of Hollywood elite .
    Up until not so long ago , Hollywood was run by men like Weinstein,and actors such as spacey won awards for incredible work .
    How the mighty have fallen in the dirt .
    You recognized the merit in these films , these scripts , and these actors .
    That's enough to be going on with . Don't wait for Hollywood to approve what we all recognized a long time ago . That people understand what's right and wrong . We just needed moral courage to embrace the truth , not a shit award .
