isn't when he died or anything.
It was when Tom Hanks comes in to Denzel's office and Denel follows his hands and everything he touches.
It just shows the judgement that people couldn't handle when AIDS became a known disease.

For me, one of the most powerful scenes was when his family was saying goodnight to him in the hospital. Somehow, I just knew they weren't going to be seeing his the next morning and it just killed me (absolutely no pun intended.)
Incredible movie, and I'm glad I saw it before Netflix got rid of it.
Very subtle, but I think a powerful scene was showing Bob from the law firm at Andy's memorial service.
shareExcuse me. Am I being fired?
shareMy choices have all been mentioned.
I'd say the most moving scene is that of his brother breaking down when he is saying goodbye to Andy in the hospital. Everyone puts a brave face on it (saying "goodnight", when they really know it is most likely "goodbye") and his brother just can't manage it and loses it.
The opera scene, but NOT because of Hanks, rather because of Denzel. I have to disagree with many about Hanks' performance here - I thought it was strained and badly overacted. But Denzel did a perfect job of acting with his eyes with such understatement.
The scene where Hanks asks Denzel to represent him and reveals he has AIDS (up to the point where Hanks leaves and looks despondently down "The Streets of Philadelphia). Denzel's reaction to the AIDS revelation may have looked blatant and overdone, but I thought it was perfect. This was a man who obviously had to restrain his initial urge to say, "Get the *beep* out of my office with your disease, homo!". Also, following Hanks' every move with trepidation (don't we all just KNOW he is going to toss that cigar into the garbage?).

I haven't read all 3 pages but mine is when he calls his mom in the beginning of the movie after he had his blood tests. She starts crying and is trying real hard not to let him hear her. God, that scene just kills me.....
Wait! Wait! Where are you going? I was gonna make Espresso!
for me it was when Beckeck walks out of Miller's office and there's that shot of him standing there looking around the city. the sense of "i'm all alone in the world" got to me
they even show a few seconds of it in the official music video
