Milk
is a wonderful film
depicting one of America’s most challenging and monumental moments of human
rights. Harvey milk, portrayed perfectly by Sean Penn, is such a wonderfully
amazing American hero and this film captured his wit and personality perfectly.
Sean Penn does great justice to the wonderful politician of the people, and
makes it clear that he appreciates the wonderful character Milk presented to
everybody he met. This movie has a stellar cast that all blend perfectly
together to really depict the sense of urgency, courage and perseverance these
openly gay activists exhibited to a world that hated them. I do not know how
they had the courage to face police brutality, constant public harassment and
respected individuals calling them sick and un-human. Cleve Jones, Emile
Hirsch, exhibits this courage by his transformation from a small town
homosexual looking for a wealthy man in California to one of Harvey Milk’s
trusted friends and spectacular political activists. There are so many
wonderfully complex aspects to this film and each scene after another was
equally enchanting to the very crazy life story of Harvey Milk.
