"Milk"

A must see. One of the best films I've seen all year. Sean Penn is Oscar-worthy. Brolin is intriguing. Franco can actually act (he's so pretty!). San Francisco is as much a character as any of the aforementioned. The scenes of the Castro (now and then) gave me chills and a sense of ownership. San Francisco is part of my world now and will forever be.

Milk's message transcends Gay rights. Like Obama, his was a message of hope. Hope for Gays, Blacks, Latinos, Asians, the disenfranchised everywhere. His sacrifice made all the difference. Thank you Harvey Milk.
