I know you can't live on hope alone, but without hope, life is not worth living. So you, and you, and you, you got to give them hope. You got to give them hope!

This is a recording that Milk left before he was assassinated. He said that people cannot live by hope alone, but without hope, life has no color. Therefore, he hopes that more people will stand up and stand up to protect this hope and the color of life. Looking back at the whole film, "hope" should be regarded as a main theme throughout, not only the hope that Milk brought to Castro and the gay community, but in my opinion, there are many "hope" in the film. 1. Scott - the hope for Milk On Milk's 40th birthday, he met Scott and fell in love with him. And Scott's appearance made Milk decide not to continue his life of nothing after the age of 40. He decided to change, so he and Scott came to the gay camp in San Francisco - Castro. In my opinion, Scott gave Milk hope that he would decide to change and be himself. 2. Milk - the hope for gay people In Castro, Milk saw the real life of the gay community. There are many stores that still hold disgust or malice towards the gay community. The police ignore the death of gay people and violently disperse gay parties... …These actions made Milk realize that someone needs to stand up, speak up for them, and give their lives security. Milk was the first openly gay politician. He publicly spoke out for gay rights, pushed for legislation to protect gay rights, and made a huge contribution to the opposition to Proposition 6 in California. 3. Milk - the hope for Jack Jack fled from his home and came to Milk. Perhaps because he used to be beaten by his father, he is a little withdrawn. After meeting Milk, he falls in love with Milk because he helps him and protects him from harm. Milk's presence gives Jack hope that he can settle down and love someone. 4. all the gay people - the hope for their rights and future As Milk said in his final recording, someone must inherit his career, and more gay people must be elected to parliament, so that thousands of Only young people, thousands of gay people, can see hope for a better life. Therefore, more people should stand up. Only by continuing to guard this hope can dreams become reality. The friends who once helped Milk's campaign chose to stand up. They guarded this hope and spoke firmly for the rights of gays and lesbians.

Finally, yesterday, June 28, 2019, was a day to remember that also brought hope to the gay community - the 50th anniversary of Stonewall. Happy Pride! Love is love. ?
