Philadelphia Assessment Q1. What are the main points relating to sexuality and STD's to arise in this movie? The major point the movie makes about sexuality, is that homosexuals are people too. The movie clearly shows how general society hates them and sets the apart from 'the rest of us' like they have leprosy. It shows that Andrew Beckett is a perfectly normal person, from a perfectly normal family, with a perfectly normal upbringing. He …

He loves the song, and passionately explains/translates the song to Miller, who after seeing the emotion that Beckett puts into the song, is truly sympathetic, and the fact makes him uncomfortable. After he has left, and is outside, he hesitates to reenter the apartment, but shook of his feelings and left. It showed that for the first time, he really accepted Beckett for the first time.
