Soooooo good. Outstanding performances. Sean Penn is just as good as people are saying but I was especially impressed by James Franco. At the end, they show the actors vs. the real people they were portraying? And holy crap the casting and styling on this movie were just PITCH PERFECT. Really well done, poignant and moving, but funny and crass at times as well. Not that I know much about Harvey Milk, but it seemed they were very true to who he was, and those funny quirks that make up a person.

And then you come out of the theater and think “So where are we with gay rights now, in 2008, some 30 years later? Well, let’s see. We just outlawed gay marriage in a shitload of states, including some where it was already legal. That ain’t a step forward.” And then you feel even MORE depressed than the movie may have already made you over an untimely death.

What a Fucked Up World we are living in.
