Just talking about Harvey Milk, not politics

New film by Gus_Van_Sant. Calm as always.

Watching Gus_Van_Sant's film, you don't need to think too much. Just to experience it quietly, the feeling is deliberate. This film, dedicated to Harvey Milk, dedicated to every warrior who stands by his beliefs, dedicated to every brave person.

Hope will never fade away. Just like the declaration on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. Not much is known about Harvey Milk. After reading Gus_Van_Sant's remarks, I have a sense of awe for this warrior.

Harvey Milk was the first openly gay elected official in American history. I have always respected comrades. Everyone has the right to choose their own path. I admire brave people. Hold on to your beliefs and hope will always come.

30 years. It's been more than 30 years since Harvey Milk was assassinated, and California Bill 8 passed. It's just that the battle isn't over yet. As long as there are people who believe in hope, believe in Harvey Milk, even if it's just a few.

This GUS film is not only dedicated to comrades, but also to countless people in the world who are fighting for their faith. Maybe that's a bit too pretentious. That's just for Harvey Milk. Nothing to do with politics.

After watching the movie, I realized that what GUS has to say is not so simple. There is no sensationalism, no deliberate praise, or just to tell the whole incident from the perspective of a small homosexual. in this free world. Any country is fine. There are people who fight for what they stand for. Let us bless them.

And Sean Penn's amazing performance. And everything, not too harsh tones, polaroid tones. Miss, praise, support, courage, move, stupid, wise. Everything will pass. Everything will continue.

    The film failed in montage, and the chaotic editing and scattered climax were the biggest failures. The story is not well told, and this could have been a classic film fell short. It's like all the ingredients are ready, but a dish that doesn't taste good is fried. You can't praise it just because it's a gay movie, it really wasn't done well.

    That is, no matter when you take it out, you will still be moved.

Milk quotes

  • 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.
