MILK
The story of Harvey Milk. The first openly gay man elected to a public office.
I loved it! Sean Penn is absolutely amazing. The tender relationship portrayed by Penn and James Franco was long over due. The movie is emotional and empowering. Learning of the struggle Milk went through, and more importantly his determination and willingness to stay the course, regardless of numerous failed attempts is where I saw his greatest success. A typical never give up theme, told in a very untypical for the movie screen story. I am so grateful the love relationship was focused on with such intimacy in this movie. They didn’t hide the love and attraction in the shadows of the story, as so many film makers have done in the past. I for one am pleased. Bravo!
