Milk

Academy award winner Sean Penn stars in the movie Milk.

I would rate the movie a 6 or 7 out of 10. If a person can get over the amount of gay kissing (which happens a tad bit more than needed I think)...it's a touching movie. I had an extremely hard time watching Sean Penn and James Franco kiss, they just seemed tooooo into it.

It really got me thinking though about how much inequality there was and still is for people that are "different". It showed the struggle that most gay people go through and the fighting it took to get them equal rights.

I HAD a limited opinion about being gay that I'm not proud of. I am ashamed to say that I once argued that gay people should not be able to marry because it destroys the sanctity of what marriage is. My view has greatly changed since that day. What person would choose a life of ridicule and harassment???? I believe every person has the right to be happy and live freely and if that means two men being married - why not?

I wouldn't say the movie Milk was GREAT, it will definately not be most people's cup of tea....but Sean Penn played a convincing role. Was it good enough to have won best Actor? I haven't seen all of the other roles that were nominated so I don't feel I can fairly say yes, but I will say.... like EVERY role Sean Penn takes on - he committed 100% of himself and then some!
