Milk is based on the true story of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay politician in California.Director Gus Van Sant made it like a semi-documentary, very smooth mixing old clips in the movie.
Sean Penn's performance was amazing as Harvey Milk, there are some pics of the real Harvey Milk, Sean does look alike Harvey a lot and so as the other characters. He deserves the BEST ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE in the Oscar!
This movie also won the BEST WRITING (ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY) in the Oscar, the speech from writer Dustin Lance Black was beautiful.

ReplyDeleteyeah it's a lot better nowadays. Still, there are different things to fight for until... i donno, no one would define gay or straight?
