ABOUT THE MOVIE



In Limited Theaters Now – WIDE Release on December 12th

After moving to San Francisco, the middle-aged New Yorker, Harvey Milk, became a Gay Rights activist and city politician. On his third attempt, he was elected to San Francisco's Board of Supervisors in 1977, making him the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in the USA. The following year, both he and the city's mayor, George Moscone, were shot to death by former city supervisor, Dan White, who blamed his former colleagues for denying White's attempt to rescind his resignation from the board.

Mr. Milk had been the subject of several books and the Academy Award-winning documentary feature, The Times of Harvey Milk (1984); but Milk (2008) is the first fictional feature to explore private aspects of the man's personal life and career.

Milk was filmed on location in San Francisco. Many of Mr Milk's real-life surviving friends and former associates participated in the making of this film, several appearing on camera.

Starring: Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch, James Franco, Josh Brolin, Victor Garber

Directed By: Gus Van Sant

Written By: Dustin Lance Black

Produced By: Dan Jinks, Bruce Cohen

Music By: Danny Elfman


Synopsis

His life changed history.  His courage changed lives.   
 
In 1977, Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay man to be voted into public office in America. His victory was not just a victory for gay rights; he forged coalitions across the political spectrum. From senior citizens to union workers, Harvey Milk changed the very nature of what it means to be a fighter for human rights and became, before his untimely death in 1978, a hero for all Americans. Sean Penn stars as Harvey Milk under the direction of Gus Van Sant in Milk, filmed on location in San Francisco from an original screenplay by Dustin Lance Black, and produced by Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen.

Milk charts the last eight years of Harvey Milk’s life. While living in New York City, he turns 40. Looking for more purpose, Milk and his lover Scott Smith (James Franco) relocate to San Francisco, where they found a small business, Castro Camera, in the heart of a working-class neighborhood. With his beloved Castro neighborhood and beautiful city empowering him, Milk surprises Scott and himself by becoming an outspoken agent for change.  

With vitalizing support from Scott and from new friends like young activist Cleve Jones (Emile Hirsch), Milk plunges headfirst into the choppy waters of politics. Bolstering his public profile with humor, Milk’s actions speak even louder than his gift-of-gab words.   

When Milk is elected supervisor for the newly zoned District 5, he tries to coordinate his efforts with those of another newly elected supervisor, Dan White (Josh Brolin). But as White and Milk’s political agendas increasingly diverge, their personal destinies tragically converge.  

Milk’s platform was and is one of hope – a hero’s legacy that resonates in the here and now. 

The film’s original score is by Danny Elfman. The costume designer is Danny Glicker and Elliot Graham edited the film. The production designer is Bill Groom and the film’s director of photography is Harris Savides, A.S.C.

Just can't wait to catch the flick. I'm really lucky to have an autographed

copy of "The Mayor of Castro Street: The life and times of Harvey Milk" by

Randy Shilts - a wonderful reporter who was a friend and who we lost to AIDS.

He made Harvey come alive again. And I hope this movie does the same.

What a sad day that was for San Francisco and for all of us who have been involved in the GBLT community.

and remember both the Milk incident and Jonestown, as they happened right next to each other, and I remember how shell shocked and crushed, and hurt the city was.

I also remember sneaking into bars and seeing the beginnings of punk rock.

As the saying goes, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

I usually prefer nonfiction to fiction. The Times of Harvey Milk was a superb documentary. I'm wondering whether a Hollywood dramatization with a big-name star can coompare with the older film. But then, I didn't much care for W, the Oliver Stone flick, so what do I know.

196. I saw the trailer months ago and I am dying to see it

I saw the documentary years ago about him and was blown away. One of those stories that stay with you for the rest of your life. I can't believe that we are so lucky to have someone as brilliant as Sean Penn team with the also brilliant Gus Van Sant to honor this true American Hero. Every week I check my local (hick town) listings to see if it is even 50 miles away from me and it still isn't yet.

Thanks for the opportunity to win this but more importantly thanks for calling attention to this (I'm sure) great film!

and looking forward to seeing the film.

[Hekate]

207. I just saw "Milk" today. It's an incredible film & brings to life not only the man but the movement

... as it was in its infancy. Actually two movements--the forward moving stream of the Gay Rights movement, and the regressive stream of the Culture Wars as personified by Anita Bryant.

Sean Penn deserves an Oscar for this--but everyone involved should share in the honor.

The portrayal of Dan White was actually quite poignant--in the film he comes across as a very confused human being who performed an evil act out of the very depths of that confusion.

The friend I saw the movie with said at the end that she wished this had been released before November 4, and I agree.

Highly, highly recommended.

210. Not entering -- was there 30 years ago -- saw it live

I was attending a conference that week in SF, the city already in shock from Jonestown.

That day, I met my (now-ex-) wife for an early lunch in the restaurant atop the Hilton. She had just heard the initial reports on TV of the shootings at City Hall and could see some of the activity there from our hotel room window. From our table, we had a birdseye view of City Hall many floors below. A TV was soon providing updates as staff and patrons alike stared in disbelief at the events unfolding far below, appearing to us as minatures much too small to be real.

That night we were on the edge of the vigil, close enough to hear someone sing an amazing "Amazing Grace" -- that someone we later learned really had been Joan Baez. My ex-wife and I spoke recently and our memories from that week are still quite vivid.

Somewhere among the many pictures and slides I haven't yet scanned should be some not very good pictures I took that day. I need to dig them out and see if any are worth sharing. If so, I will post them here at DU.

(Don't go all "commercial" on us Skinner....things such as 'this' only work well the first time they are introduced). I'm not replying b/c I *hope* to get the movie pack/whatever.

I'm K & R'ing b/c I don't know very much about Harvey Milk, but it appears that he was one helluva honest, stand-up kinda-guy and one whom more people should *know* about his story.

With all due apologies to SOD:

I woke up, can't wait to eat
Got my cereal, boy was I beat
Opened up my fridge and to my dismay
There was no more Milk, Dan White's gonna pay

I want some Milk
My coffee grows cold
I want some Milk
I should've been told

I wish I had some goddamn Milk
Politics just ain't the same
I wish I had some goddamn Milk
Too bad the policeman never came
I can't go out to the store
I'll just wait till Dan White buys more
I'll just have wheat thins and beer
If I get sick, the toilet is near

I want some Milk
My coffee grows cold
I want some Milk
I should've been told

I wish I had some goddamn Milk
Politics just ain't the same
I wish I had some goddamn Milk
Too bad the policeman never came

I want some Milk
My coffee grows cold
I want some Milk
I should've been told
