Philadelphia, de Jonathan Demme, sorti en 1993 est un film important. Car il traite de problématiques tragiques : le Sida, lʹhomophobie et lʹexclusion. On lʹa un peu oublié aujourdʹhui, mais dans les années 80 et 90, la communauté homosexuelle masculine, principalement, est atteinte dʹun mal mortifère qui emporte dans la tombe des centaines de jeunes gens. Mais lʹépidémie de Sida va sʹétendre et toucher dʹautres populations par le biais des transfusions sanguines. Il nʹen faut pas plus pour que la panique gagne tout le monde et que le virus progresse rapidement. Ce mal, on en parle tous les jours, à la radio, à la télévision, dans les journaux. Il faut du temps pour que lʹon comprenne comment le virus du Sida fonctionne et quʹon mette en place des campagnes dʹinformation, de prévention, tandis que la science progresse et propose des thérapies. Et cʹest dans ce climat délétère de peur, que Jonathan Demme, réalisateur multi oscarisé pour le Silence des Agneaux, tourne un film de procès qui traite, en sous-main du Sida, mais plus frontalement dʹexclusion. Philadelphia cʹest le premier film grand public qui traite de cette question. Et il va faire date. Certainement grâce aux performances de ses acteurs principaux, Tom Hanks et Denzel Washington, mais principalement grâce à un scénario, inspiré dʹune histoire vraie, un scénario bien ficelé signé Ron Nyswaner. Le film est bien accueilli par le public et la critique. Tom Hanks remporte son premier Oscar du meilleur acteur pour son rôle d'Andrew Beckett, Aujourdʹhui, dans Travelling, cʹest Philadelphia que nous regardons ensemble. Ne tardons pas trop, car le personnage joué par Tom Hanks se lance dans un contre-la-montre contre lʹinjustice dont il est victime. Il en sortira vainqueur avant dʹêtre emporté par la maladie.

But one of the partners notices a lesion on his forehead, a file goes missing, and he's fired. Beckett teams up with the only lawyer who will take his case, played by Denzel Washington.

This week, in honor of Austin Film Festival’s 25th Anniversary we’re going back into our archives to bring you conversations with writers that created two of 1993’s most remembered films. First we’ll hear from screenwriter Angelo Pizzo who wrote the inspirational football drama Rudy. And later, we’ll hear from Ron Nyswaner who wrote the Jonathan Demme directed drama Philadelphia, which starred Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks. 1993 saw the release of giant blockbuster films like Jurassic Park, classic comedies like Groundhog’s Day, Rom-Com staples like Sleepless in Seattle, and the inspirational true-life story of an undersized, dyslexic student who’s only dream was to play football for the University of Notre Dame. Rudy, written by Angelo Pizzo, has stood the test of time as a film that still resonates with an audience 25 years after its release. In 2005 the film was named one of the 25 Best Sports Movies by ESPN and one of the most-inspiring films of all time by the “AFI 100 Series”. Pizzo, who also wrote the Indiana basketball drama Hoosiers, spoke about Rudy at the 22nd Austin Film Festival in 2015. Clips of Rudy courtesy of TriStar Pictures, Inc.
