    On the one hand, Philadelphia is Greek for brotherly love. In this movie, the brotherly love stands for the friendship between Beckett and Wheeler beyond race, skin color, and sexual orientation.

    On the other hand, Philadephia is the city where the Declaration of Independence has been signed, and the earliest constitution of USA has been enacted. Thus to some degree, Philadephia stands for the constitution of the United States, and the theme of the constitution----freedom and equality exactly correspond to the theme of this movie----eliminate the discrimination against homosexuals and people with AIDS.

    Firstly, this moive is based on a real story which happened in Philadelphia.  Moreover, this city is also a symbol of love so it holds a nick name "The City if Brotherly Love". As one of the oldest cities in America, it is also the place where "The Declaration of Independence" was drafted. In that decalaration, each individual is equal and they can share equivalent power、social level in this country including guys just like Andy. They have love and do a good job and they should get respect like others in this symbolic city.

    Firstly, the story in the movie based on the original story isn’t take place in the Philadelphia  but in the New York, but the legal significance behind the story can symbolize the meaning of Philadelphia which is Greek for brotherly love (from philos stands for “love” or “friendship”, and adelphos, stands for “brother” ).

    What’ s more, the Philadelphia is a historical city in America. <The declaration of independence >, a symbol of freedom and independence, was signed in Philadelphia. As a result, the city’s name coincides with the movie theme of eliminating discrimination against sexual orientation and disease.

    All in all, sexual orientation is an inborn trait and should certainly not be discriminated against for its difference. Therefore, friendship that transcends race, color, religion, and sexual orientation is the definition of brother, just like the implication of both the city and the movie.

    The movie was not shot in New York, where it was shot, but 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, the 1787's constitutional convention, which runs from May 25 to September 17, also takes place in Philadelphia, where the original constitution of the United States of America was promulgated. The Freedom, equality, and unity that the American people seek, as embodied in the Constitution of the United States, can be said to coincide with the theme of the Philadelphia Story, which is the elimination of discrimination against people of sexual orientation and those suffering from malignant diseases.

    The film was not shot in New York, where it originally took place. The film is set in Philadelphia with the director's special intention. In English, Philadelphia means brotherly love. The declaration of independence was signed in Philadelphia in 1776. In addition, the constitutional convention of the United States of America from May 25 to September 17, 1787, was also held in Philadelphia, where the first constitution of the United States of America was enacted.

    The film was chosen in Philadelphia and named Philadelphia, because of the legal significance the film symbolizes. Philadelphia is the historic city of the United States, and the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia in 1776. But it is equally important that the United States Constituent Assembly, held in Philadelphia from 25 May to 17 September 1787, was also convened, where the earliest constitution of the United States of America was promulgated. The unity of freedom and equality that the American people seek, represented by the American Constitution, coincides with the theme of the film The Philadelphia Story, which eliminates discrimination against people with sexual orientation and ill health.
