Philadelphia - 1993 - Help Please

[Amber is bored]

FILM: Philadelphia
Directed by Jonathan Demme

Hello, Im a little bit stumped on something please could someone offer their opinion =p

What is the importance of the opening credits and shots used throughout the streets of philadelphia? - Why is the Bruce Springsteen "streets of philadelphia" important to the film and opening credits.

Thanks!

Do you own homework!

Could it have something to do with the fact that the film is set in Philadelphia?

The shots are used because it's set in Philadelphia. And the song was written for the film, thats why it was used basically.

I love that film
