We went to see the latest Gus Van Sant movie "MILK" last Friday night. It's always cool to see a film at The Esquire on Ludlow Ave. I know about the Harvey Milk story as we lived in San Francisco from 1991-1996, he is and will always be a hero in the city by the bay. Sean Penn's performance has to be in line for some sort of major award as he embodied the spirit of this great personality. The entire cast was spot on in this one. They threw in some actual footage of the 1970s so you get a real sense of the times. I'm proud to say that I've seen motion pictures at The Castro Theater and I actually got to touch the Aids Quilt. I have to give this movie an "A".
I don't want to leave out Josh Brolin as "Dan White" the man who murdered Harvey Milk and Mayor Moscone. A perfect heel role to compliment his performance in "No Country for old Men", great role, so so movie. So do yourself a huge favor and check out this wonderful film and pay homage to Sean Penn.
