"Milk" Preview & Trailer - Sean Penn Rocks
I was a senior in high school in 1978, and while I had no idea who Harvey Milk was, his presence affected me because two of my best friends in high school were gay. It seems that we’re all connected one way or another, and I really appreciate Sean Penn’s work, so I’m looking forward to this movie.
More after the jump, including a trailer…
In 1977, Harvey Milk (Sean Penn) was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and he was the first openly gay man to be voted into public office in America. This movie charts the last eight years of his life - his move from NYC to San Francisco with lover Scott Smith (James Franco), their founding of Castro Camera, and life in his beloved Castro neighborhood. With support from friends like activist Cleve Jones (Emile Hirsch), Milk dove into politics and became an agent for hope and change.
Directed by Gus Van Sant from an original screenplay by Dustin Lance Black, “Milk” was filmed on location in San Francisco. Rated R for language, some sexual content and brief violence. In theaters (limited) Nov. 26, 2008. Expands Dec. 5. Check out the trailer:
