Saw it yesterday afternoon........was excellent.. Penn amazing, Franco and Brolin pretty. Worth seeing twice.
Wow. Hard to believe it's been 30 years since Harvey Milk and George Moscone (at the time, Mayor of San Francisco) were murdered there in City Hall. And then Dan White walked off with the Twinkie defense (wherein the defendant claims it was junk food or sugar which made them commit the crime) and got manslaughter instead of the actual murder verdict, and murder is what it was.
Here's a link to an article at the time of the 25th year of the killings: The verdict in the Dan White Case

In doing some research I came across an eerie fact-it seems that Moscone's father was...a milkman.

saw it last night. got into franco's character mainly because he seemed really real and
free. personally liberated, which is really the state of being milk was trying to get
society to accept, and perhaps he was trying to get there himself. sometimes having a big agenda comes with a personal price to pay, penn showed that and played that role well. josh brolin was also great in the role of dan white. i recommend this one.

he's hot, it's true. was thinking about the film again and feel, if the film's
portrayal is accurate, scott (franco's character) was who really motivated milk
into changing his life into something he could believe in. funny how someone
can be behind the scenes, in a case like that, and perhaps be the actual catalyst for change. because he's hot naked, of course, helps too.
