Milk

When Milk  first came out, I wasn't too interested in seeing it, in spite of all the praise it got.  I didn't much want to see a movie about recent history and a bunch of stuff I already know.  Well, as it would turn out, Milk is about events in the 70s that we already know about...and really should never forget.  Seeing it on film like this really drives it home...people were actually treated like this.  In the 70s.  That wasn't so long ago.  This was such an important film.  The Proposition 6 in the film reminded me a lot of the recent Proposition 8 here in California.  Society has a long way to go, eh...

Anyway, Milk has a great cast as well.  Sean Penn won an Oscar and all that, now I know why.  Joshn Brolin is also kind of a sleeper...he's not a movie star but he's also a good actor.  He has one of those chameleon faces so a little styling can make him look like anyone...

Anyway, whatever, the whole world needs to watch this movie.
