well it's on-theme with the rest of the movie. denzel is homophobic, and he points out that their whole society is homophobic. that guy's facial expressions, you're right, point to him sharing the generalized homophobia, being disgusted by gay people. but like denzel he's still seeking to apply justice. there's a difference between the bigotry of cultural distance and the bigotry of wanting to use all institutions available against a target.

I watched maybe two or three movies between 1981 and 2000. I never got to see this of a young Denzel Washington. His acting is so honest and endearing. You just have to love the guy. Tom hanks was young and he had to play a hard part, most probably out of character for him; but that is the job of actor. Thank you for posting. I suppose I should see the whole movie now.

at least the opposing lawyers were good sports about the verdict and even congratulated him on his victory.

I absolutely love this movie. This might be my favorite movie from both Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington.

Thomas Jeffrey Hanks 09 de julio de 1956 67 AÑOS.

Just realized, Andy’s “case” is bookended with applause. The partners applauding him when he receives his promotion, and now the gallery applauding when he gets his vindication. Not sure if I’m reading into it, but it makes a valid point that there was always somebody in Andy’s corner.

No they aren't just ice at all i totally agree

$5,025,000 total verdict!

Great movie over all. But if you think about it the law firm (defendants) can appeal the decision and tie it up in court proceedings relatively for the next 10 years than pay a penny. Which in essence the plaintiff will have long passed away from his illness therefore never receiving a penny. The harsh truth.

Spoken like someone who has never been on a jury and has no idea how the justice system works. Punitive damages cannot generally exceed a certain ratio of the compensatory damages except in extremely extenuating circumstances. This law firm almost certainly doesn't have 50 million dollars to pay in punitive damages, and the judge has the authority to overrule the jury's decision on amounts. This has happened countless times when juries think like you do.

There was really no legit reason for the lawfirm to let Andy go. They couldn't have let him go simply because he was infected with AIDS. And if they'd have let him go for "performance reasons" the timing would have been awfully suspect anyways, so Andy would have still brought on a lawsuit. The lawfirm would simply have to wait until he became incapacitated, and then hire a new lawyer for his position. They'd also have to keep his insurance coverage until he passed.
