What makes this movie so amazing is that it actually happened. Though this movie is a tragedy, it dealt with some of the most controversial issues in a rather light-hearted manner and I appreciated that. Josh Brolin was electrifying in this movie [when isn't he?] and Sean Penn certainly deserved this Oscar. James Franco surprised me, seeing as he was finally in a movie where when he took his shirt off, he wasn't surrounded by women, but by talent. No pun intended. Highly recommended. |

Great acting by Penn, Brolin, and Franco |
|
This was a pretty good movie. It was touching at times and I liked the setup of Harvey dictated a memoir in case of his death.
Didn't much care for the love interest story (at least Rick, Scott was pretty good) but then again it was based on a true story so you can't really do much with that.
Haven't seen all the movies to make a completely informed judgment but I would think that Sean Penn deserves a nomination for best actor. Milk should be in the conversation for best picture but it wouldn't be outrageous if it got snubbed. I also think Josh Brolin should get some consideration for supporting actor. His part wasn't that big but I thought he played Dan White excellently.
This is definitely worth seeing. |

Glossy portrait of political figure. |
|
Its very easy to hear a lot about how "important" this film is but no one really says anything on what makes it good. They might say the acting is so good but I felt most actually played stereotypes including Penn. If you look at the real footage their impersonations actually aren't that good they either over play like Penn, or their not quite right like Brolin. Some might find it interesting and that would the only reason they would like it. i just did not find it that compelling. Nor did it really make any firm arguments and it really failed to elaborate on many things. It showed Milk in a positive light no matter what. That really is the problem with many biopics there either make the person out to be complete sludge like in Nixon or they make them so glossy it is surprising they don... |
