Fighters on the road to freedom

After watching "Milk" for a long time, I realized that the director of this film is the director of "Good Will Hunting" that I like, and he has the same sexual interest as Milk.
Looking back, I think about last year's Hollywood bad boy on the stage for Best Actor at the Oscars. I hadn't seen the film at the time, and I've always regretted that Leonardo didn't win the award.
However, less than ten minutes into the beginning of the film, a thirty-nine-year-old man with no achievements stopped his future life partner at the subway station. His shy look, his little gestures of sexuality, and the phrase "I want someone to play with me". Instantly, I knew that best actor deserved it.
I don't know if my views on "homosexuality" are a product of the subtle influence of the mass media. The first time I watched a gay movie was Wong Kar-wai's "Happy Together", the English name is "Happy Together", I don't know if it conveyed the director's intention - the important thing is that we are together, let go of all this , the rest we can ignore.
In the next few years, I watched "Lan Yu" and watched "Brokeback Mountain"... Perhaps, it was the gorgeous and delicate picture or the author's expression of understanding and tolerance... Only then did I know that same-sex love can also be so beautiful.
The important thing is that this is love, and it doesn't matter who the protagonist is.
Like other gay movies, same-sex love isn't the only thing in this movie, it's about something bigger.
The so-called "democracy, freedom" is not born. Milk's struggle history reflects a microcosm of an era - the right of the "minority" to freely choose their own way of life. This moved me deeply. Putting aside the goals he strives for, perhaps Premier Zhou's "seeking common ground while reserving differences" is more in line with the pursuit of civilized warriors.
The world is originally a kaleidoscope, accept and respect, but have to walk a hard road.
Love comes after understanding.

    Perhaps, this film should be taken out and re-watched after a while. For the enthusiasm, surging, and ideas inside.

Milk quotes

  • Dan White: [extremely drunk, to Jack Lira] Whatever! I don't even know who you are, you just showed up out of nowhere, Latino man.

  • Harvey Milk: If it were true that children emulate their teachers, we'd have a lot more nuns running around.
