    Milk is a well-acted and well-directed movie about about the first openly gay American politician. The first hour leading up to Harvey Milk's election as district supervisor wasn't bad, but the last hour that dealt mostly with combating a proposition that would take squash gay ci...( read more)vil rights and essentially the movement itself just seemed generally typical and kind of inspired me to clean my house a little bit out of anxiousness and some low-grade boredom. Like I said, the acting was superb and Gus Van Sant's direction was great (and actually reminiscent at times of his earlier works like Drugstore Cowboy and My Own Private Idaho) but when the whole thing was put together it just didn't strike me as anything to truly freak out over.

    I must be old fashioned but I thought Milk was awfully promiscious.

    This was a good film biopic about gay rights activist/politician Harvey Milk. Gus Van Sant was the perfect director for the film not just because he's gay but also because the mood and style of the picture suits him well. The acting was great and the script was great. An hones...( read more)t film that doesn't try to hide anything for the audience's pleasure or comfort, which is why it is a strong film. Sean Penn getting an Oscar for this may have been a little over the top, but it's an Oscar caliber performance. It's an important film and story in many ways. Someone could say "this film is so gay" and that would be a compliment for Milk. It's real gay.

    An extremely worthy tale to tell of the true story of Harvey Milk, Gay and Human rights activist turned politician during the 70?s in San Fransisco.

    Yet another great performance from Penn and very Gus Van Sant to bring a controversial story to light.

    This is a great awaren...( read more)ess story and a legacy that will live on. It also acts as a metaphor for any type of minority, whatever that minority might be.

    Great movie, but a tragic ending though. Sean Penn did a very good job in this role. Definitely one of the better Gus Van Sant movies.
