Milk

It's Art If We Talk About It
Adict - wrote on 06/04/10

Harvey Milk does not come across as a ground breaking revolutionary character, and that's O.K. The main character here is the religious right and America's overall anti-homosexual sentiments. The actual history behind this isn't so obviously neat and clean, but it is used and remodeled to make the audience think about an important issue that's been debated for decades. Art's purpose is to evaluate what's around it and what's going on. And, as Warhol declared, if one discusses it then it is art. The film itself falls prey to some odd, unexplained cuts through time and relationships, but it does achieve it's purpose of causing critical discussion.
