Harvey Milk returns to life through Sean Penn in a performance driven by the passion of an excellent actor. Not only was Sean Penn perfect but all involved were perfect. Milk ticks all the boxes of a amazing movie. Milk is inspiring, funny, intense, emotional, heartbreaking and it continues to be all these things but never goes over the top.
I had never heard of Harvey Milk. But then i heard of a movie called Milk. I thought it was about milk. But then i looked into it and saw that it was based on the life of the gay rights activist Harvey Milk. I'm not gay or anything but after watching this i was inspired and truly saw that Harvey Milk was a great person. Rest in Peace.
There is not one bad thing i can say about the acting. Penn was Great, Brolin was excellent and Franco was great. The supporting cast was all great also.
As soon as the movie begins we are hit with some history of gays in the 50's and 60's and Dianne Feinstein's heartbreaking and chilling announcement of 2 deaths in office. Throughout the film we see Milk recording his will on a tape recorder. Even though this was not a intentional sad moment it still was mildly heartbreaking.
I highly recommend Milk. It is the must see of 08. Maybe even more must see then The Dark Knight. It is in my top 3 of 2008. Milk was not sour milk at all. I give Milk......
10/10
