Go see Milk

Seriously. Go see this movie. It was awesome. The performances were just...wow. Josh Brolin, especially. He just WAS Dan White. Sean Penn was great as Harvey Milk. James Franco impressed me. Emile Hirsch was outstanding.

The movie really made me think a lot. It seems we would have made more progress in the 31 YEARS since the assassination of Harvey Milk and George Moscone. It also made me think a lot about courage, and in some ways, it left me feeling like a coward.

In any case, this is a timely, timeLESS film, and you owe it to yourself to see it.

Trailer here.

And this excerpt from a speech given by Milk, used as an anti-prop 8 ad, explains the reason this movie is so important. There is much work yet to be done.
