Milk funciona assim: tipos que o cara era beecha, aí encontra um outro beecha no metrô e aí começa uma louca paixão onde ele se dá conta de que já tem 40 anos e não fez nada da vida. Até aí nada demais, acho que todo mundo aqui tá na mesma situação, exceto a parte de encontrar um grande amor no metrô e, QUEM SABE, ser beecha. Mas Harvey Milk vai além na sua inoperância de 40 anos fétidos e inúteis e se torna o primeiro politico abertamente [ui! delícia!] gay da história e se você for ver que, oi, é um filme baseado em fatos reais, até que é uma história batuta afudê. Mas eu não achay o filme aquela coisa toda, achei até bem chato. Só vale a pena prá ver o Sean Penn dando uns catos no James Franco e no Diego Luna e prá ver o Emilie Hirsch fazendo a Katylene co...Read more

''Without hope, life's not worth living.'' The story of Harvey Milk, and his struggles as an American gay activist who fought for gay rights and became California's first openly gay elected official. Sean Penn: Harvey Milk How miraculous it is how crucial timing is. Released only a few weeks after the passage of Proposition 8 - a measure that took away the rights of same-sex couples to marry in California - Gus Van Sant's Oscar-nominated effort Milk turns back the clock to another point in time, with an all too similar struggle in American civil rights history and to the iconic man who helped to get the ball rolling. Harvey Milk was the San Francisco supervisor and gay-rights pioneer who, along with Mayor George Moscone, was shot in city hall in November 1978. The perpetrator,...Read more

It's amazing how a movie can touch people. Not only because this is a real story but everything behind it and we can all see ourselves now and feel what they been through in the 70's. Is a great movie about a great group of people who weren't scared of what they were. Is a Gus Van Sant's master piece.

"My name is Harvey Milk and I'm here to recruit you!" Gus Van Sant's Milk is an incisive and stirring dramatisation of the heroic life and violent death of 1970's gay activist Harvey Milk. Van Sant's magnificent biopic of indelible power is infused with a masterful and vibrant recreation of a tumultuous era that throbs with heart, humour and anguish. This engrossing, multi-layered history lesson concerning the turbulent political situation of the '70s couldn't have been delivered at a more appropriate time - for it to arrive in cinemas in November 2008, at the time of Barack Obama's successful presidential campaign as well as the passing of Proposition 8, is almost unbearably poignant. Dustin Lance Black's script (which won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay at the 2009 ceremony) clo...Read more

For me, Milk was easily the best film of last year's Academy Awards run. Slumdog was an overrated Indian version of a Charles Dickens story, and Frost/Nixon and The Reader were inexplicably nominated, in my opinion. Only Benjamin Button and Milk touched me out of the top five, but Button didn't touch me as much as Milk did. Sean Penn smiles! That alone should have gotten him the Oscar nomination. And while he did win, and I have no problem with his win, a part of me did want to see Mickey Rourke take it home. But that is getting away from the main point. Penn delivers not an impression, which would have been too easy for an actor his depth and talents, but an immersion into Harvey Milk. Emerging close enough to the real person to make us believe that he is him, but creating enough of a cha...Read more
