Il film del 1994 tratta il tema dell' AIDS, malattia che raggiunge proprio in quegli anni il suo culmine.
Quando ho trovato questo video in rete ho rivissuto le emozioni che la visione del film mi ha dato a suo tempo. Tom Hanks nella parte del malato di AIDS è praticamente perfetto. La title track del film e' eseguita dal Bruce Springsteen. Il testo colpisce per la sua durezza e la frase "I can feel myself fading away" racchiude tutte le sensazioni provate dal protagonista.
I was bruised and battered and I couldnt tell
What I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window I didn't know
My own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me
Wastin´away
On the streets of philadelphia
I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of philadelphia
Aint no angel gonna greet me
Its just you and I my friend
My clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip the skin
The night has fallen, Im lyin' awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of philadelphia
