    First of all, this story happened as early as Philadelphia.

    Secondly, Philadelphia stands for love, peace and brotherhood.

    The last one, Philadelphia is the place to sign the declaration of independence.

    Though the ture story happened in New York, such appropriate adaptation made the film more complete and exclamatory. Philadelphia is a large and historic city in northeast America.  It means brotherly love, which has close connection with the theme of the film. Philadelphia is the birthplace of the revolutionary war, the first capital of the United States and the most heroic and significant city in America.

      Philadelphia is a historic city in the United States,where The declaration of independence was signed in 1776. And it is also important that  the earliest constitution of the United States of America was released,which expresses the pursuit of freedom and equality in American law,in Philadelphia.That's why Philadelphia was chosen.

    To begin with, the main topic that this film discusses is a case related to human rights, whether people’s obvious and pervasive discrimination against Beckett or their fear to Aids, all taking place in Philadelphia. What’s more, just as the counsellor says “Philadelphia is the city of Brotherly Love, birthplace of freedom where the Foundry Fathers authored the Declaration of independence.”This is all for my opinion.

    First, it is well known that Philadelphia is the oldest and most historic city in the United States, ranking fourth in the country. Philadelphia is made up of two Greek words, Philos meaning "love" and adelphos meaning "brother." So Philadelphia is also known as the city of brotherly love
    Second,Philadelphia has played an important role in American history. It was here that the landmark declaration of independence was drafted and signed. The first and second continental congresses were held here.

    The movie was shot in Philadelphia because of the legal significance of the movie. Philadelphia is a historic city in the United States. The declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia in 1776. But just as important was the 1787's May 25-september 17 constitutional convention, also held in Philadelphia. The Freedom, equality, and unity that the American people seek, was reflected in the Constitution of the United States, can be said to coincide with the theme of the Philadelphia Story.

    Instead of being shot in New York,  shot in Philadelphia and named it because of the legal significance it symbolized.
    Philadelphia is a historic city in the United States, and the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia in 1776. But equally important is the United States Constituent Assembly, may 25 - September 17, 1787, also held in Philadelphia, where the earliest Constitution of the United States of America was enacted. The american people, as represented by the U.S. Constitution, seek freedom, equality and solidarity, and the theme of the film "The Philadelphia Story" that eliminates discrimination against people with sexual orientation and suffering from evil.

    1、The word Philadelphia is composed of two Greek words, philos and adelphos,Philos means love, and adelphos means brother.Therefore , Philadelphia is considered to be 'city of brotherly love",which serves as a perfect stage for a film about love.
    2、Philadelphia was the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence.

    3、The story happened in Philadelphia.

    Philadelphia is a historic city in the United States. The declaration of independence was signed in Philadelphia in 1776. But it is also important that the constitutional convention of the United States of America was held in Philadelphia from May 25 to September 17, 1787, where the earliest constitution of the United States of America was promulgated. The freedom, equality and unity that the American people pursue represented by the American Constitution coincides with the theme of eliminating discrimination against sexual orientation and people suffering from diseases in the film Philadelphia story.
    Penn named the city Philadelphia, which is Greek for brotherly love (from philos, "love" or "friendship", and adelphos, "brother").Friendship beyond race, color, creed, religion and sexual orientation is the interpretation of brotherly love. This is also the theme of the movie.

    So, although the real story happened in New York, the film chose to shoot in Philadelphia

    1.The Declaration of Independence was proclaimed in Philadelphia, which fits the main theme of the movie, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

    1.Philadelphia is callled "affectionate city",but at the same time the protagonist suffers from uneaqual treatment here. "friendship" and "discrimination" form contrast which attract viewers to think.

    2.To his due rights, he struggles with countless unusual sights. His generosity adds luster to Philadelphia which makes the spirit Philadelphia symbolizes spreads among the world.

    3.The core value :equali ty in the movie adapts to  meaning that Philadelphia was given in the development of history.

    4."Philadelphia" is a movie discussing the human rights of AIDS patients and Philadelphia happens to be the place where the American Declaration of Independence was born, which also makes Philadelphia represent "the rule of law,human rights, and freedom" in America hi story.

    5."Philadelphia" express primarily theme that in traditional society the freedom who homosexualities and AIDS patients need is the bottom line that in modern times Philadelphia's society structure should be breached.

    The word Philadelphia in Greek means brotherly love. Such a brotherly love can be a man's love for a man or a man's assistance to a white or black man, it can also be the basis of understanding and tolerance among all people.

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of independence. This is what be known as the most famous American expression, the American message to the world: All men are created equal. In 1774-1775, the 1775 met to adopt the declaration of independence, and the 1787 held a constitutional convention to produce the first Federal Constitution. So Philadelphia stands for equality.

    Philadelphia is also a very important Colored. So, this is where the movie starts.

    Because first of all, the story in the movie happened in Philadelphia. Second, the declaration of independence was signed in Philadelphia, a city that represents the civilization of the rule of law. The American constitutional convention was also held in Philadelphia, where the earliest constitution of the United States of America was promulgated. The protagonist in the film also said that this time represents the city of brotherly love. The theme of "Philadelphia Story" to eliminate discrimination against sexual orientation and people suffering from diseases is consistent with the freedom, equality and unity that the American people pursue represented by the American Constitution.

    The movie named after the city Philadelphia is also for brotherly love, which is beyond race, religion, and sex orientation just like the two leading characters in the movie.

    The film takes place in the city of Philadelphia. However the real story which the film is based on took place in New York. The reason why the movie Philadelphia is named after the city is because of the legal significance of this moive. Philadelphia is a historic city in the United States. Just as Miller says, "We  live in Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, the birthplace of freedom......" The Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia in 1776. Meanwhile, the earliest constitution of the United States of America was also enacted here. To sum up, the American people's pursuit of freedom, equality and unity represented by the US Constitution coincides with the theme of eliminating discrimination against sexual orientation and illness in the film Philadephia. That's why the moive is named after the city.

    ①Philadelphia is place where the Declaration of independence was made.

    ②In 1787, the American constitutional convention was held in Philadelphia, where the earliest constitution of the United States of America was promulgated. Freedom, equality and unity which are symbolized by the constitution of the United States are same as the subject of the movie. 

    ③Penn named the city Philadelphia, which is Greek for brotherly love (from philos, "love" or "friendship", and adelphos, "brother"). Friendship that transcends race, color, creed, religion and sexual orientation in themovie is the interpretation of brotherly love.

    Philadelphia is a combined word of phios and adelphos. Philos means love, and adelphos means brother. Therefore, Philadelphia is considered to be "city of brotherly love", which serves as a perfect stage for a film about love. And in the film's background, it has the potential meaning of homosexual which is the major course of AIDS and is the push of the plots. What's more, the Philadelphia is the original place for the movement of eliminating discrimination against sexual orientation and people suffering from diseases. The theme of the film is closely related to the historical background of the city, so the film was named Philadelphia.

    Philadelphia is a historic city in the United States. The declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia in 1776. Although the true story reflected in the film did not take place in Philadelphia, the United States Constitution represents the American people's pursuit of freedom, equality and unity, and the film "Philadelphia Story" to eliminate discrimination against sexual orientation and people with disabilities, it's kind of a coincidence.
