TODAYS REVIEW.....
MILK
Milk is a powerful film done by a powerful director. Gus van Sant brings the life of Harvey Milk to the big screen. Harvey Milk was the first ever openly gay man to be elected for Major Office. This films shows the rough events and times he had to go through to fight for what believes in. Harvey Milk is unfortunately not with us anymore. He was assasinated by Dan White. The message was sent out to the people of San Fransisco and they marched. Marched for the man that saved them and made their lives a better place.

Sean Penn gives a pitch perfect performance as Harvey Milk. Matching every manerism and speaking his voice. And he touched the audiences heart and that is the sign of a truly great performance. This film also stars an all-star supporting cast of Josh Brolin as Dan White, Emile Hersch as Cleeve Jones and James Franco as Scott. All these people one of the best performances of their careers.

This film has moments that make you feel. Feel the lives of the people that fought. When you watch this movie you are put in the perspective of the gay people that faced danger every day wondering if they would get shot or arrested. Do you want to know why they could have gotten shot or arrested? Because they are different! But people are people! It is not there fault! Being gay is not a disease, it is not a mental illness. It is a strength. To show that you can accept yourself for who YOU are. And hopefully everyone else will take that advice and accept people for who THEY are.

This film picked up 2 academy Awards. One for best adapted screenplay and one Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading role for Sean Penn. It was also nominated for 6 more including best picture.

I Urge you all to rent this movie. But this movie! See it. Change the way you feel. Make yourself feel the pain that they once had to go through and are still going through now.

This film is a flawless peice of art done by Director Gus Van Sant! 10/10

See ya later!
