Genres & Description

Action Biography Drama History Romance

7.6 / 10

Using flashbacks from a statement recorded late in life and archival footage for atmosphere, this film traces Harvey Milk's career from his 40th birthday to his death. He leaves the closet and New York, opens a camera shop that becomes the salon for San Francisco's growing gay community, and organizes gays' purchasing power to build political alliances. He runs for office with lover Scott Smith as his campaign manager. Victory finally comes on the same day Dan White wins in the city's conservative district. The rest of the film sketches Milk's relationship with White and the 1978 fight against a statewide initiative to bar gays and their supporters from public school jobs.

Y’all need to calm down. You do have the right to your own opinion but don’t come seeking these things out. Because we have the right to our own opinion too. I am straight female who is a big supporter of the the LGBT community and what I have learned through my short life is you will never be satisfied. So take a deep breath and stop the hate. - @Sunday, December 23, 2018 6:21 AM

I'm not a huge fan of Sean Penn but I loved his performance in this! I mean I loved 21 Grams but this movie was pretty cool because Milk spoke out for what he thought was right, even if it cost him his life. - @Saturday, January 27, 2018 4:22 AM

What's it to you straight people if others want to be gay ? I've never found a good answer to that question from you. Quite frankly, it's none of your damn business. - @Sunday, August 20, 2017 10:42 AM

I wondered what this was after seeing the poster in the office at my high school. Sick, disgusting, propagandistic bullshit. - @Thursday, June 8, 2017 6:29 AM

If you are given a permanent disease it's a guaranteed cash out for pharmaceutical companies for your entire life, no wonder agents and cops push the prescription drug idea on me and if you say no they'll get a big ass needle with straps for you till you can't say no.....thanks America, will you make cures or pills. If you pick pills I promise I'll be your worst enemy I'm sick of it!!!!!!!!!! - @Tuesday, November 8, 2016 2:23 AM
