      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 -...

    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

    • Harvey Milk: Is anyone gonna pay the pizza guy, or are we all just gonna stare?

      Dick Pabich: Why wouldn't we stare?

    • Harvey Milk: How do you teach homosexuality? Is it like French?

    • Harvey Milk: [Voice Over, Last lines] I ask this... If there should be an assassination, I would hope that five, ten, one hundred, a thousand would rise. I would like to see every gay lawyer, every gay architect come out - - If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door... And that's all. I ask for the movement to continue. Because it's not about personal gain, not about ego, not about power... it's about the "us's" out there. Not only gays, but the Blacks, the Asians, the disabled, the seniors, the us's. Without hope, the us's give up - I know you cannot live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living. So you, and you, and you... You gotta give em' hope... you gotta give em' hope.
