Movie Review: Milk

Using flashbacks from a statement recorded late in life and archival footage for atmosphere, this film traces Harvey Milk's career from his 40th birthday to his death. He leaves the closet and New York, opens a camera shop that becomes the salon for San Francisco's growing gay community, and organizes gays' purchasing power to build political alliances. He runs for office with lover Scott Smith as his campaign manager. Victory finally comes on the same day Dan White wins in the city's conservative district. The rest of the film sketches Milk's relationship with White and the 1978 fight against a statewide initiative to bar gays and their supporters from public school jobs

This is the movie I feel should have won the Best Picture. Everything about this movie was perfect I mean 10/10 perfect. From acting to the screenplay to the music to the cinematography, I mean everything was right on! I am so thankfull that Sean Penn won the award for Best Actor (unlike that stupid Penelope Cruz BS award). Let me also just say this is one of the few movies in awhile I couldnt NOT leave it.... I mean I dont think I went to the bathroom, got a glass of water or even took my eyes off the screen, it was that good! I could rant on and on or I can do what I think would be best and just tell you to go see it! HIGHY RECOMMENDED!!!!!
