      Milk--Everyone Should Fight For Your Dreams

      Everyone should fight for their dreams. Don't be assimilated under deformed social rules just because you're the weakest black woman. Everyone should stand up against the world. Not everyone is milk. Not everyone It's all William Wallace, but when Milk says "hope" calmly in the shadow of assassination, when William Wallace screams "freedom" on the guillotine, everyone should be...

      Milk--I Don't Approve Of Homosexuality

      Some of the things promoted in the movie I don't particularly agree with in my values, such as telling the people around you that you are gay. In the movie, Scott and Milk represent the two tendencies of the gay community, and I support Scott's concept of forbearance.

      God created all things. The Bible says that homosexuality is an adulterous existence...

      Time goes by and love remains

      I've written a separate post about the meaning of the fight, but I just want to talk about Scott, Milk's boyfriend, out of selfishness.

      Yes there are others, but I think they are different.

      I liked Scott so much, from the moment they met on the subway, he, the wonderful atmosphere with the two of them. Even if Milk's wrinkled smile and a little bit of sycophancy didn't fit my aesthetic at the time. But seeing them smiling and kissing and hugging makes me feel happy from the...

      if i told you i was gay

      I wonder what happens to you. It's not just
      a bland fact that can be covered up with later jokes and perfunctory. It's
      not a very serious story that makes you desperately trying to understand what's in it. It's
      just that I wonder if I use something like " I'm going to borrow the bathroom" to let you know that
      I'm gay
      , what would you do

      ? Although I don't know why the world always makes some things difficult
      , some things have to breathe out of breath or...

      genius sean

      I've always liked Sean Penn, don't know when it started. Not the mentally handicapped dad in I am Sam, not the tangled cop in Mystic River, not the heart-changer in 21 Kerry, not the young and underwhelming lawyer in the corner - it wasn't they who moved me, it was The real actor behind them, who has always been maverick and was born anti-bone, moved me.

      In one episode of "Two and a Half Men", Sean came out as himself, a guy who often hangs out with Charlie and chats about his heart -...

Their small shop has gradually become a gathering place for gays in San Francisco. Milk quickly brought together a group of friends with his affinity and...

    Evaluation action

    Relatively speaking, "Milk" has some surprises for audiences who are familiar with and unfamiliar with the style of director Gus Van Sant. The film presents the situation of the times from a personal point of view, without deliberately "pretending" to be very heavy; at the same time, if the camera can feel the temperature, the director's schedule is neither cold nor hot: it is the kind of space that is close to the space to be...

    Movie quotes

    • Scott Smith: [reading a threatening note] 'Harvey Milk will have a dream journey and nightmare to hell. A night of horror. He will be stabbed and have your genitals, cock balls and prick cut off.' I'm calling the police.

      Harvey Milk: They probably wrote it. Look at it this way, if they try to kill me I'll get the sympathy vote, we might get the push we need.

      Scott Smith: You think this is funny? Look at it!

      Harvey Milk: It's a total joke. I mean, it's got no rhythm, humor, it's insulting.

      [tacks it to the refrigerator]

      Scott Smith: Don't do that.

      Harvey Milk: If you put it away in a drawer it just gets bigger and scarier. Now it's right here, it can't get us.

    • Harvey Milk: Even though the Castro was firmly our area by 1973 it wasn't safe for us. We would have to wear whistles on our necks or in our pockets and if you ever heard a whistle you would run for help.

    • Harvey Milk: Hey, I like the way your pants fit... Where are you from, kid?

      Cleve Jones: [laughs] Sorry old man, not interested.

      Harvey Milk: I'm Harvey Milk. I'm running for Supervisor. What's your name?

      Cleve Jones: Cleve... Jones.

      Harvey Milk: Well Mr. Jones, we should walk up to my camera shop and register you.

      Cleve Jones: Fuck that. Elections of any kind are a fucking bourgeois affectation.

      Harvey Milk: Is that right? So do you trick up on Polk Street?

      Cleve Jones: If I need the cash... But I'm selective about my clients.

      Harvey Milk: Tell me one thing before you get back to work then. What was it like to be a little queer in Phoenix? Did the jocks beat you up?

      Cleve Jones: I faked a lung disease to get out of PE. So what? What are you, some kind of street shrink?

      Harvey Milk: Sometimes.
