If a famous person, as the nation's first openly gay city supervisor male, inspired a controversial book (The Mayor of Castro Street) and Oscar-winning documentary (The Times of Harvey Milk), a biopic may seem superfluous at best. Acquisition of Bryan Singer and Oliver Stone, Gus Van Sant, last picture was the more experimental Paranoid Park, together with such grace, he will suggest the concern. In contrast to Randy Shilts' biography, which begins at the beginning, Dustin Lance Black's script begins in 1972, just as Milk (Sean Penn, Wrought in a fine performance) and his friend Scott (James Franco, as well), moving from New York to San Francisco. Milk opens a camera shop on Castro that a safe haven for victims of discrimination, convince him to enter politics. With each race he runs, Harvey's relationship with Scott unravels further. Finally, he wins, and the real battle begins when Milk is Proposition 6, which denies equal rights for homosexuals. He does what he can to rally politicians like George Moscone (Victor Garber) and Dan White (Josh Brolin). While the mayor is prepared, the conservative board member has concerns, and after the milk is not back from a White's pet projects, the die is cast, leading to the murder of two beloved figures. If Van Sant Harvey explains the film in all its complexity (he was, for example, a very funny man), Milk also serves as an enticement to field-oriented activism, showing how an ordinary boy raised everyone around him, especially Cleve Jones ( Emile Hirsch), the ex-street hustler to the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial. Released in the aftermath of Proposition 8, California anti-gay-marriage amendment, Milk is inspiring the best way: a person and make a difference, but the fight is far from over.
