Sean Penn at his Best!

Rating: 9/10 (8 October 2012)

Milk is a powerful film that features a skillful cast, a true story that will cut through your emotions like a knife, and great technical skill. In other words, Milk is Oscar-caliber. From beginning to end, this is film that will capture you in whether your are a supporter or not of same-sex marriages.
This film is the biography of Harvey Milk who turns out to be the first openly gay man to hold major political office. This story does a great job in telling the story on his rise to "fame".
The acting is very, very good. Sean Penn does a bold move in playing Harvey but it works out in the end. He gives the best performance of his career. James Franco, Josh Brolin, and Emile Hirsch gives bold, sympathetic performances as well.
Overall, this is a very true, emotional film. Maybe this film has inspired other people to support the same-sex movement. Also, I hoped this film has lessened the hate these people get. This movie probably would have won best picture if it was not for the slightly better Slumdog Millionaire. I rate this movie 9/10.
