A powerful and engaging film

Rating: Null/10 (13 December 2008)

This film is about the activist Harvey Milk, who stirred up a gay rights movement in the conservative America back in 1970's.
"Milk" is an engaging film about Harvey Milk. The characters are all very well portrayed, especially Harvey Milk and Scott Smith. They are real human beings that connect to the viewers. Every time a character does something, I look forward to seeing them succeed. This does not happen very much for me, which shows how well the characters are sculpted and how engaging they are.
Sean Penn's acting is amazing. The ease he displayed when he kisses several other actors is also remarkable. Scott Smith has a special mysterious charm, that I somehow long for him to be back with Harvey Milk.
Despite the ending is already shown right at the beginning of the film, it strangely does not spoil the film, but in fact enhances interest in the film. It makes me want to find out why such an ending occurs. As for the real ending, it is powerful and tear jerking.
"Milk" is a well made film that engages viewers throughout.
