Powerful and phenomenal film, with amazing performances

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2008)

It was a perfect, successful, biographical film about one man and his hopes and accomplishments. Seriously, what a great film. It achieves everything that it should have done, and does it with such great power. The editing of scenes, the writing, the fast pacing, the characters, and all of the amazing performances in the film. Sean Penn gives such a realistic portrayal of Harvey Milk, I will safely bet that he will win the best Actor Oscar. Emile Hirsch, in a second year in a row, is also great, as well as Franco, Brolin, and Luna. They all played their characters very realistically. The film shows all the issues that gays had back then, and it shows us how to live with equal rights, not just for gays, but for everyone different.
