Milk takes place in San Francisco in the 1970's during the rise of the Gay Pride movement. An openly gay man, Harvey Milk moves from New York to California with his lover and pursues politics, specifically a position on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Harvey Milk succeeds in becoming the first openly gay man to be voted into public office in the United States in 1977. His constant fight for equal human rights made Milk a hero for homosexuals and Americans alike.
Milk serves not only as a powerful political film but as a tale of personal victory as well. I love the message that the film sends to the audience: do not be afraid to fight for what you believe in. Sean Penn does an outstanding job in portraying this inspirational and captivating character.
