Philadelphia

Yesterday, i blogged about the my top #5 movie endings and something didnt feel right after that.
Philadelphia was not on my list and i didnt like that. There are couple of other ending sequences that were good contenders like the end in Bleu with that music in background, and the irreversible ending trying to give consolation to a disturbed heart after watching that movie.

But Philadelphia is special. Because it has got a beautiful song in the end. Its called Philadelphia by Neil Young. Death is handled so brilliantly in the end that i just love it!
And Philadelphia is an awesome movie, its one of those movies that whenever it is played, i have to sit and watch it. It never bores me. It has Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington and is made by Jonathan Demme, the man behind silence of lambs.



Philadelphia - Neil Young


Sometimes I think that I know
What love's all about
And when I see the light
I know I'll be all right.

I've got my friends in the world,
I had my friends
When we were boys and girls
And the secrets came unfurled.

City of brotherly love
Place I call home
Don't turn your back on me
I don't want to be alone
Love lasts forever.

Someone is talking to me,
Calling my name
Tell me I'm not to blame
I won't be ashamed of love.

Philadelphia,
City of brotherly love.
Brotherly love.

Sometimes I think that I know
What love's all about
And when I see the light
I know I'll be all right.
Philadelphia
