    The movie Philadelphia is based on a real thing, but without the real protagonist's permission. The real story happened in Boston, but the film changed it to Philadelphia.

    Philadelphia is a historic city in the United States. The declaration of independence was signed in Philadelphia in 1776. But it is also important that the constitutional convention of the United States of America was held in Philadelphia from May 25 to September 17, 1787, where the earliest constitution of the United States of America was promulgated. The American people's pursuit of freedom, equality and unity represented by the American Constitution coincides with the theme of eliminating discrimination against sexual orientation and people suffering from diseases in the film Philadelphia story.

    Philadelphia, which consists of two Greek words, Philos meaning love and adelphos meaning brother, so Philadelphia is also called the city of brotherly love. It is a place where you can feel the love and warmth of America. The film is dedicated to appealing to people to care about and help AIDS people, at the same time, also praise the AIDS people the spirit of unremitting efforts. Therefore, the moral of Philadelphia echoes the theme of the film.

    Philadelphia, city of brotherly love, is a place where you don't have to be ashamed of your love and you can always find shelter. The values Philadelphia itself represents are consistent with the film's theme.

    1. The movie is set in Philadelphia and its main characters Andrew and Joe Miller represent the spirit of this city—love, justice, equality, friendship and spirit of legality.
    2. The name has a deeper meaning which is related to the theme. The word Philadelphia consists of two words“philos” and “adelphos” which mean “love” and “brother” in Greek, so Philadelphia is a city of brotherly love. Besides, Philadelphia is the birthplace of freedom. The movie calls for the rethinks of people’s attitude to AIDS and homosexuality, as well as justice and equality by using Philadelphia as the title although the true story happened somewhere else.
    3. The name Philadelphia largely strike viewers because the prejudice in this movie and the impression of Philadelphia conflicts. It makes us face up to some vital social issues.

    The whole story has its proterotype. In fact, the real story happened in New York instead of Philadelphia.

    Nevertheless, the derector chose Philadelphia to screen in that the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia in 1776. Besides, American's constitutional conerntion was held in 1787 in Philadelphia. As we all know, U.S. federal constitution represents "liberty, equality, solidarity"which American pursue, which is similar to the movie's subject—— The elimination of discrimination against sexual orientation and people who suffer from infectious diesease.

    What's more, Philadelphia is called "City of brotherly love", I believe the friendship which exceeds race,color of skin,relagion,sexual orientation is the explanation of "brotherly love".

    Because, firstly, the film takes place in the city of Philadelphia, a large and historic city in northeast America. What’s more, the theme of the movie is mainly about upholding justice and fighting against discrimination. Thus, to some extent, this moving and touching subject has something in common with Philadelphia, also known as “City of brotherly love".

    Philadelphia is a combined word of philos and adelphos. Philos means love and adelphos means brother. Philadelphia is a city of brotherly love. 
    The friendship between Joe Miller and Andrew Beckett in the film is a manifestation of brotherly love that transcends colour, race, religion and sexual orientation.
    Philadelphia is also a meeting place for the Founding Fathers to sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776. 
    The freedom, equality, and solidarity that the American people seek can be said to coincide with the theme of the film Philadelphia which is the elimination of discrimination against people of sexual orientation and ill health.
