Milk is the story of gay rights activist Harvey Milk the first openly gay person to be elected to office in the USA. It was a truly wonderful and inspiring film and I don't think I've ever seen a film that ever made me so emotional. The acting in it was fantastic with every cast member putting in an absolutely perfect performance. I loved how the film cleverly flicked between their film and real film footage from the time and Gus van Sant's direction was of the highest quality. It was an absolutely beautiful piece of work that drew you in from start to finish and made you fully appreciate the importance of both the cause and of the amazing courage of people like Milk. Sean Penn's acting oscar was thoroughly deserved as his performance was an absolute revelation but having said that the rest of the cast were equally deserving of plaudits with Diego Luna, Josh Brolin, James Franco and Emile Hirsch amongst others putting in sterling performances. In conclusion an utterly stunning and breathtaking movie and ten out of ten doesn't quite cover how fantastic it really is.
