Thoughts about Philadelphia

Today in class we started watching the movie Philadelphia. What did you think about the presentation of Andrew and his body's reaction to the AIDS virus? How would you compare his appearance to that of Jenny from the movie Forrest Gump?

  2. Well, Andrew had some leasans on his forehead, diareaha, and more. I was surprised when I saw this. Another thing is that Jenny has the same virus as Andrew. However, she looked perfectly normal.

  4. I can say that they look really different because Jenny looked perfectly normal . As Andrew had lesions all over his body , he also had diarrhea. They never showed that Jenny had anything wrong with her . All we saw was her on her bed sounding weak .

  6. I was really shocked by his appearance . I really did not think that HIV/AIDS could cause that to happen to his face and body . I really just thought that you have to take you medication and that's it , because in the movie " Forest Gump " nothing happened to Jenny's appearance .

  8. When I saw Andrew's appearance I was surprised because I didn't know how AIDS reaction to a body looke like. The difference between him and Jenny is that Jenny didn't really seem like she had AIDS the only ting was that she had no strength but Andrew, his body and his pysical changed a lot and they were noticable.

  10. well in my POV alot of things change from begining to end - he started to get older by the min - started getting legetes - out of the bloooom- they fried him caus they found out he was gay or was HIV positive;

  11. i think his presentation was fine untill he got the litions his hair started changing color. so he got skinner he had troubles using the bath room. he was very tired and not energise like he use to be.the way andrew looked is the same way jenny looked they both looked tired. their hair changed color and they were very skinny.
