The most touchng political movie i seen

What I loved most: The candle mourning scene whereby gays march onto the streets

What I really hated: Lengthy Conversation

The sad story of how California's first openly gay elected official, Harvey Milk, a San Francisco supervisor who was assassinated along with Mayor George Moscone by San Francisco Supervisor, Dan White. Harvey Milk (Sean Penn) started out in a small town in California doing film developing and was often seen as an outcast by the society.He slowly tapped onto the gay society to support his business and soon gain wide popularity for his outspoken character.Harvey wasn't ashame to admit he's a gay and often fight against the cops who at that point of time,are very much bias and shown deep hatred for the gays.Harvey saw the injustice and decided to fight for the gays by running for the post of Supervisor in the office.After much failure,Harvey was finally elected and bring the much-awaited justice and fairness that is lacking in the gay society.His actions made him a target for many,incl his colleague,Dan White. When Dan was sacked,he blamed his failure on Harvey and decided to kill Harvey.This movie is based on a true event and all characters are real.Harvey Milk was the first person who fought for the gays and ensure there were gay rights. This show is quite underrated and i believe it deserves more credits.
