One movie that has been awarded with esteemed awards and is worth a watch is ‘Milk’. Unlike the meaning suggested by the title of the movie, this flick is about a man named Harvey Milk. He was the first gay guy in United States to be voted as a public officer in San Francisco, California. Harvey Milk proved its distinctness by being among the first three gay persons in all of the United States to go for such a thing.

The movie follows an earlier award-winning attempt to depict the life of Harvey Milk. The documentary titled The Times of Harvey Milk was released in November, 1984 and went on to win an Oscar for the Best Documentary Film. The 2008 release did equally well, if not better garnering eight nominations at the Academy Awards and ending up with two awards for Best Actor in a Leading Role and Best Original Screenplay. The former was awarded to Sean Penn for his brilliant portrayal of Harvey Milk and latter was earned by Dustin Lance Black.

The filming for Milk was also as authentic as it gets with the crew moving down to San Francisco’s Castro Street and even the camera shop that Milk once owned – Castro Camera. The movie captures Milk’s life from the age of 40 right up to his assassination. It starts with him in New York from where he moves to San Francisco with his lover Scott Smith refusing to stay hiding in his closet for the rest of his life.

Franciscan community. Milk basically focuses on the rights of gays in the by gone years and their upgradation. Harvey Milk was one man who really worked hard to change this part of every gay’s life at the time when being a gay was considered awfully shameful. Milk saw many failures in the early years of his life before being voted as supervisor. The realization of the seriousness of the gay rights issue incited a struggling phase in Milk’s life. Two of his colleagues Anita Bryant and Dan White were also elected at the same time as Milk.

Dan White’s role has been perfectly portrayed by Josh Brolin. Dan White is a character with conservative ideas and was therefore constantly “out-voted” by Milk and other supervisors who are liberal. Dan White’s increasing frustrations end up in devastating mess and mark the chilling end of the movie. ‘Milk’ is one movie you should surely go for. It is interesting, emotional and funny.
