I hope you enjoy it when you see it. :]

Kerry:
I saw "Milk" today and loved it. It brought the whole era back to life for me. It was so well done. Sean Penn was amazing as was the entire cast.

HerrKaiser:
I had mixed emotions. As a film, it had many noteworthy qualties--acting, scripting, direction.

As a story, it is disgusting. People close to Milk know he was a hustler of teenaged boys and a predator. He belonged in prison, but his murder made him a semi martyr. It seems a very bad message that one's crimes can be overlooked if one's own demise has significantly more dramatic overtones.  >:(

HerrKaiser:
It was subtley portrayed in the film.

Further, Milk's activities with teenaged hustlers and boys is a commonly known fact among people who were in SF during the 70s. Such activities were not topics for newspaper articles of the time, partly because it was somewhat rampant and overlooked, but it was what it was.
