I am sorry if there is a topic already. I searched but it said no topics. I haven't been on here in a while so I wasn't sure. Anyways lol.

Have you seen Milk? What do you think of it? I personally loved it. It was a beautiful film and I hope to see it again.

Me and my sister saw it together, and now my mom and dad want to see it too. :]

I saw it this afternoon and thought it was terrific. My bet is that Sean Penn will be receiving the Best Actor Oscar on February 22.

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.

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.

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.
