February 25th, 2010 |

If you’re considering watching a relatively recent award-winning movie, I’d recommend Milk! For the small section of people who have no clue what the title represents, the Milk movie is not about the healthy drink that’s got from cows, goats, etc. It’s a biographical movie that depicts the life of Harvey Milk, the man who became the first gay person to be voted a public officer in San Francisco, California. Milk also laid claim to the distinction of being among the first three gay persons to do so in all of the United States.

This second movie on Harvey Milk and follows the storyline of its previous version. The previous version of the movie was released way back in November 1984 with the title ‘The Times of Harvey Milk’. This movie made its way to Oscars and won an Oscar for the Best Documentary Film. People do tend to compare the revised version with the original one, however, they couldn’t make out much of a difference quality wise. The 2008 version and got nominated for 8 categories at the Academy Awards and won Oscars with the titles of Best Actor in a Leading Role and Best Original Screenplay. Best Actor in a Leading Role was awarded to Sean Penn for his excellent performance in the role of Harvey Milk. Best Original Screenplay was awarded to Dustin Lance Black.

This hot flick starts off with the life of Harvey Milk when he was in his 40′s. Shot at the original location of the camera shop in San Francisco’s Castro Street this movie promises the viewers the view of authentic spots with its mind-blowing performers. Harvey Milk. Milk stays in New York City with his lover Scott Smith and cannot take the life of being in a closet throughout his life.

Harvey Milk started off with a camera shop business in his 40′s that actually over a period of time became the meeting point for gays of the San Franciscan community. ‘Milk’ showcases the life and struggle phases of Harvey Milk’s life. Harvey Milk was a strong man who fought for rights of gays throughout the United States. He had to face the anger and scorn of the country while doing so. Despite of the failures experienced by him in his early he continued with his journey and soon was voted as the first gay guy in United States to be voted as a public officer in San Francisco, California.

Dan White’s role has been perfectly portrayed by Josh Brolin. Dan White is a character with conservative ideas and was therefore constantly “out-voted” by Milk and other supervisors who are liberal. Dan White’s increasing frustrations end up in devastating mess and mark the chilling end of the movie. ‘Milk’ is one movie you should surely go for. It is interesting, emotional and funny.
