#13/36 - Milk
I saw this film back in November just a few weeks after the election, so I was still in the politics mind set.
The film tells the story of Harvey Milk (Sean Penn), California’s first openly gay elected official, who after a life of struggling against oppression, is assassinated by a fellow politician, supervisor Dan White (Josh Brolin).
I loved this film and it really struck a chord with me, and I’m sure many fellow Californians as well, as one of Milk’s campaigns against a Prop so closely resembles that of the recent Prop 8.
Taylor Momsen-Next "it" girl? /Article about her life
The young woman who approached the table by the window at the Pinkberry on Eighth Avenue and 18th street was nervous, breathless. She was sorry to interrupt, sorry to be a bother, she said. It was just that she loved Taylor Momsen so much.First look at new Harvey Milk movie starring Sean Penn, James Franco
The true story of the first openly gay politician, San Francisco city supervisor Harvey Milk, has finally been made into a film. The trailer for the film, simply titled “Milk,” is now out, below, and the movie looks pretty good. Sean Penn does an amazing job channeling Milk, while “No Country For Old Men” star Josh Brolin looks eerily like Dan White, the man who assassinated Milk along with city Mayor George Moscone in 1978.Sean's Man-on-Man Smooch
In the new Gus Van Sant-directed film, Milk, Sean Penn shares a steamy kiss with co-star Mark Martinez, who says the Oscar-winner let the lip-lock go on a little longer than expected. "I'm performing, and [Penn] comes onto the dance floor," Mark tells E!. "He grabs me, and he just slaps the biggest kiss on me...It felt like the kiss was forever.Best Director
I love this category- especially when someone unexpected and deserving wins it (see Roman Polanski for The Pianist). This year is a little unusual and, I think, a little predictable as the category is identical to Best Picture: Danny Boyle for Slumdog Millionaire Stephen Daldry for The Reader David Fincher for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Ron Howard for Frost/Nixon Gus Van Sant for Milk Prediction: Danny Boyle. He has a wonderful vision and of these nominees he deserves it the most.Angelina Jolie Reacts To Oscar Nomination
