I went to see Milk today because I wanted to see Sean Penn's Oscar nominated performance before the awards are handed out. It was a powerful and moving true story about Harvey Milk, America's first openly gay elected official in San Francisco in the 70s. Obviously Sean Penn's performance was very powerful. I thought the movie itself was successful in describing the gay lifestyle of the 70s while keeping it artfully tasteful but honest all at the same time - kind of a touchy line to walk to appeal to main stream film audiences. An excellent film that you should add to your movie queue.
