A wonderful film; I was deeply affected by it

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2009)

"Milk" is a true story film about Harvey Milk, the first openly gay supervisor for San Francisco, and his campaign for supervisor. Throughout the film, you see many pros and cons on homosexuality and you see the strength and integrity of Harvey Milk all the way through the end when Harvey Milk is assassinated.
This is an amazing film. I was deeply affected by it. Sean Penn was magnificent as the slain supervisor, and I love the messages that are brought out. One is that anyone can run for supervisor, and two, prejudice can be beaten.
Although I'm not gay, I do think that gay marriage should be legal and that people must realize that this is a civil rights issue, and I'm glad that this man started a generation of people that would stand up and say, "Enough. This must stop." Please see it. It's magnificent.
