After seeing this movie last night I have to say this is one of the most important films I have ever seen. I had tears in my eyes during several parts, and though I knew some of what Harvey Milk stood and fought for, I learned a lot more. The battle for equal rights he organized and fought for are on-going even today. It is so important that all generations of the GLBT community learn that even the few rights they enjoy today were sometimes earned with the blood of those who lived before us. They also need to realize that the proposition numbers may change, but the hate still exists and there are still Anita Bryants in this world who would continue to deny us basic human rights.

Amazing amazing film!!

Even though I’m straight. I wanted to say that Milk is an incredible Film. I grew up in the S.F. Bay Area. Milk really communicates Harvey’s love and caring for people and his personal commitment to make things better for everyone. Sean Penn has given a stunning performance that really embodies the spirit of Harvey Milk.
I did notice on the Top 10 Box Office stats on the IMDb that Milk is playing at only 328 Screens nationwide, while other Movies on the Box Office Top 10 are playing at 2K+ to 3K+ Screens nationwide. Hmmmm… But, the Weekend Screen $Average is way higher than 8 of
this week’s Box Office Top Ten. YAY TEAM!!! Milk should be in MORE Theaters nationwide. Don’t you think so too?

I’m really excited to see this movie, but unfortunately where I live the only theaters are Century Theater. Due to the CEO of Century Theater’s decision to donate nearly $10,000 to Yes on 8, I refuse to go to a Century Theater.

Be sure to see this film, also be sure not to give money to the same group of people that are helping strip LGBTQ individuals from equal civil liberties.

I have been telling everyone both gay and str8 that they MUST see this movie. This movie is not optional viewing. It’s simply one of the most incredible movies to make it to the screen. (And I see A Lot of movies!)

Sean Penn (although playing gay for pay) was solid in the role. I really hope he wins the Academy Award as best actor.
