Movie: Milk
Milk
Everything about it is good except… the overall storyline just didn’t grab me. It’s not exactly revelatory to tell me that gay people faced violence and discrimination. So for me, the movie was all about Sean Penn‘s performance.
From his very first moment on screen, I was riveted. At one point, I tried to picture what he really moves and sounds like, and I couldn’t. Then I tried to picture one of his other movie creations in my head, and I couldn’t do that either.
The image that was right in front of me was the only one I could accept. Penn made Harvey Milk undeniable.
