Milk: Does a body politic good

Just saw Milk tonight. Was really a greatly inspirational film. Penn was, as usual, amazing in his role...although at times I had to kind of cringe at the similarities he showed between this performance and some of the nuances of his performance in "I Am Sam."

Overall, lots of great performances all around, from Penn to Franco to Hirsch. This movie is sad, but you know what to expect...and it doesn't end on a horrible note (a-la "Boys Don't Cry," so it's still inspriational in it's messaging).

It's a little creepy, the parallels of Proposition 6, taking place 30 years ago, and the current status of Proposition 8. I guess it's easy for one to argue the differences in scope between simple human rights and the redefinition of "marriage," but I think this is a greatly inspirational piece regarding gay rights and human rights in general.

If you have a chance to see this, definitely do. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
