"My name is Seth Wehner and I'm here to review you"

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2012)

Milk- one of Sean Penn's greatest performances ever. Everything in this movie had something everyone liked, unless you hate gay people. I find Milk interesting because it was the time after the Civil Rights Movement and people thought that everyone loved each other, but there was still an out casted group of people; homosexuals. Harvey Milk was the MLK of homosexuals and this movie addresses that greatly. Penn does a great job acting as a gay person as did a retarded person in I Am Sam, but you could really feel that he was Harvey Milk even if you never heard of Harvey Milk. Penn definitely deserved the Oscar. The entire cast did a great job helping out from James Franco, Josh Brolin, Emile Hirsch and company, but Sean Penn stole the show. If you are someone who hates gay people then you might want to see Milk just to see how gay people were living through back then and how it is applied now. Milk was great in almost all aspects in directing, writing, and acting. MIlk is definitely worth watching.
