Milk

An inspirational, insightful, compelling, factually based, star-studded (Emile Hirsch, Diego Luna, Victor Garber, Eric Stoltz, et al.) Gus Van Sant political film that chronicles the rise of well-liked and outspoken Harvey Milk (Sean Penn) from closeted insurance salesman in New York City to openly gay political activist whose tireless campaign with his devoted partner (James Franco) during the 1970s eventually led to his successful bid as a San Francisco supervisor, but his popularity in general and his prominent role as a leader in the gay community is met with disapproval and distain by fellow supervisor Dan White (Josh Brolin).
