Last night, I saw "Milk," a film about Harvey Milk, the first homosexual man to run and be elected to public office in the United States. It was absolutely amazing -- one of those movies that is two hours long and you don't even feel the time pass by. The acting was incredible from everyone: Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch, James Franco, Diego Luna and Alison Pill.
It's really one of those movies that just opens your eyes to the Gay Rights Movement and shows you how ignorant some people were and, shockingly enough, can still be. (Especially with the whole psychosis of Proposition 8 in California..) But despite all that, hope is never lost. It was funny and sad, serious and humorous, sexual yet appropriate all at the same time. Not many films can accomplish this.
I encourage everyone to watch the trailer and see the movie.
Until next time, -M.
